Reporting bugs
==============
* Make sure your problem isn't already listed in `Known Problems
<https://vdirsyncer.readthedocs.org/en/stable/problems.html>`_.
* Make sure you have the latest version by executing ``pip install --user
--upgrade vdirsyncer``.
* Include the Python version, your configuration, the commands you're
executing, and their output.
* Use ``--verbosity=DEBUG`` when including output from vdirsyncer.
Suggesting features
===================
If you're suggesting a feature, keep in mind that vdirsyncer tries not to be a
full calendar or contacts client, but rather just the piece of software that
synchronizes all the data. `Take a look at the documentation for software
working with vdirsyncer
<http://vdirsyncer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/supported.html>`_.
Submitting patches, pull requests
=================================
* **Discuss everything in the issue tracker first** (or contact me somehow
else) before implementing it.
* Make sure the tests pass. See below for running them.
* But not because you wrote too few tests.
* Add yourself to ``AUTHORS.rst``, and add a note to ``CHANGELOG.rst`` too.
Running tests, how to set up your development environment
=========================================================
For many patches, it might suffice to just let Travis run the tests. However,
Travis is slow, so you might want to run them locally too. For this, set up a
virtualenv_ and run this inside of it::
make install-test
make install-style
Then you can run::
make test
make style # Stylechecker
If you have any questions, feel free to open issues about it.
