Contributing to CfUnit

We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

Reporting a bug
Discussing the current state of the code
Submitting a fix
Proposing new features
Becoming a maintainer

We Develop with CODESYS Forge

We use CODESYS Forge to host code, to track issues & feature requests.
Since CODESYS IDE is currently only using SVN, Pull Requests (PR's) are a bit of an issue currently.

Every code should be checked before submission:

  • Does your code have a test in the verifier?
  • No => write a test for the verifier
  • Yes => provide proof that your code and test works
  • After peer review and a working unittest in the verifier is provided, the code is eligible for merge in the trunk.

Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License

In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project.
Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.

Report bugs using Codeys Forge [Tickets]

We use Tickets to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new ticket; it's that easy!

Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

  • A quick summary and/or background
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Be specific!
  • Give sample code if you can.
  • What you expected would happen
  • What actually happens
  • Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)

Use a Consistent Coding Style

  • Never open/edit the trunk code! Instead, create a (local) branch under your own name and make your code adjustmensts there.
  • Make sure to keep the library settings and project information as the trunk project, except your version number.
  • Make sure that your CODESYS IDE uses spaces instead of tabs. The default behaviour of the CODESYS IDE is to use tabs so it needs to be changed. See Tools - Options - Text Editor - Editing - Untick "Keep tabs" and set tabwidth to 4

    License agreement appears twice under "License" and "Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License"
    "Unhook" might need to be Untick.

    How does someone without SVN write access submit their code? as attachment in the forge ticket?

    Should they have further questions about contribution, are we actually really excited about answering such questions? and if so how should they ask?

    Other than these questions, I think it is very good and may encourage some contributors.
