Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up iot_light_control for local development.

  1. Clone iot_light_control locally:

    $ git clone git@gitlab.com:zapis-dublya/iot-traffic-light-control.git
    
  2. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenv installed, this is how you set up for local development:

    $ python3 -m virtualenv iot_light_control_env
    $ source iot_light_control_env/bin/activate
    $ cd iot_light_control/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  3. Install mraa and upm in mocking mode to prevent import errors::

    $ git submodule update --init
    $ make iot-devkit
    
  4. Create a branch for local development from dev branch:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-feature dev
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 iot_light_control tests
    $ python setup.py test or pytest
    $ tox
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitLab:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Now merge your changes to dev without a fast-forward and push changes:

    $ git checkout dev
    $ git merge --no-ff name-of-your-feature
    $ git push origin dev
    

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ py.test tests.test_iot_light_control
