Contribution Guide

First steps

Clone the repository and install dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/tarantool/go-tarantool
$ cd go-tarantool
$ go get .

Running tests

You need to install Tarantool to run tests. See the Installation section in the README for requirements.

To install test dependencies (such as the tarantool/queue module), run:

make deps

To run tests for the main package and each subpackage:

make test

To run tests for the main package and each subpackage with race detector:

make testrace

The tests set up all required tarantool processes before run and clean up afterwards.

If you want to run the tests for a specific package:

make test-<SUBDIR>

For example, for running tests in pool, uuid and main packages, call

make test-pool test-uuid test-main

To run fuzz tests for the main package and each subpackage:

make TAGS="go_tarantool_decimal_fuzzing" fuzzing

To check if the current changes will pass the linter in CI, install golangci-lint from sources and run it with next command:

make golangci-lint

To format the code install goimports and run it with next command:

make format

Benchmarking

Quick start

To run all benchmark tests from the current branch run:

make bench

To measure performance difference between master and the current branch run:

make bench-diff

Note: benchstat should be in PATH. If it is not set, call:

export PATH="/home/${USER}/go/bin:${PATH}"

or

export PATH="${HOME}/go/bin:${PATH}"

Customize benchmarking

Before running benchmark or measuring performance degradation, install benchmark dependencies:

make bench-deps BENCH_PATH=custom_path

Use the variable BENCH_PATH to specify the path of benchmark artifacts. It is set to bench by default.

To run benchmark tests, call:

make bench DURATION=5s COUNT=7 BENCH_PATH=custom_path TEST_PATH=.

Use the variable DURATION to set the duration of perf tests. That variable is mapped on testing flag -benchtime for gotest. It may take the values in seconds (e.g, 5s) or count of iterations (e.g, 1000x). It is set to 3s by default.

Use the variable COUNT to control the count of benchmark runs for each test. It is set to 5 by default. That variable is mapped on testing flag -count. Use higher values if the benchmark numbers aren't stable.

Use the variable TEST_PATH to set the directory of test files. It is set to ./... by default, so it runs all the Benchmark tests in the project.

To measure performance degradation after changes in code, run:

make bench-diff BENCH_PATH=custom_path

Note: the variable BENCH_PATH is not purposed to be used with absolute paths.

Recommendations for how to achieve stable results

Before any judgments, verify whether results are stable on given host and how large the noise. Run make bench-diff without changes and look on the report. Several times.

There are suggestions how to achieve best results, see https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/wiki/Benchmarking

Code review checklist

  • Public API contains functions, variables, constants that are needed from outside by users. All the rest should be left closed.
  • Public functions, variables and constants contain at least a single-line comment.
  • Code is DRY (see "Do not Repeat Yourself" principle).
  • New features have functional and probably performance tests.
  • There are no changes in files not related to the issue.
  • There are no obvious flaky tests.
  • Commits with bugfixes have tests based on reproducers.
  • Changelog entry is present in CHANGELOG.md.
  • Public methods contain executable examples (contains a comment with reference output).
  • Autogenerated documentation looks good. Run godoc -http=:6060 and point your web browser to address "http://127.0.0.1:6060" for evaluating.
  • Commit message header may start with a prefix with a short description follows after colon. It is applicable to changes in a README, examples, tests and CI configuration files. Examples: github-ci: add Tarantool 2.x-latest and readme: describe how to run tests.
  • Check your comments, commit title, and even variable names to be grammatically correct. Start sentences from a capital letter, end with a dot. Everywhere - in the code, in the tests, in the commit message.
