Development & Contributing

Testing
During development, you can install our project as editable.
If you use virtualenv, you may want to create a new environment for zdict:
$ git clone https://github.com/zdict/zdict.git
$ cd zdict
$ pip install -e .
Once you installed it with the command above,
just execute zdict after modification.
No need to install it again.
Install the packages for testing:
$ pip install -r requirements-test.txt
or:
$ make install-test-deps
Use the command below to execute the tests:
$ py.test
or:
$ make test
After runing testing, we will get a coverage report in html.
We can browse around it:
$ cd htmlcov
$ python -m http.server
Also, there is some configs for py.test in setup.cfg.
Change it if you need.


Debugging
py.test can prompt pdb shell when your test case failed:
$ py.test --pdb
or:
$ make test-with-pdb


Bug Report
Feel free to send a bug report to https://github.com/zdict/zdict/issues.
Please attach the error message and describe how to reproduce the bug.
PR is also welcome.
Please use the -d/--disable-db-cache option to query before sending the bug report.
Sometimes we modify the data schema in database for a dictionary,
but the default dictionary query of zdict uses the cache in the database which may be stored within an old schema.
This might cause an error while showing the result.
Just use the -d/--disable-db-cache to update the cache in database.
