Contributing

All types of contributions are welcome. You can:

Bug reports

The best way to get your issue solved is to provide a minimal, complete, verifiable example. In order to submit a bug report, click here and fill out the template.

Debugging

The following seems to be the easiest way to debug internals:

from stata_kernel.kernel import StataKernel
from stata_kernel.code_manager import CodeManager

kernel = StataKernel()
session = kernel.stata

# If on windows, may be helpful
session.show_gui()

code = 'sysuse auto, clear'
cm = CodeManager(code)
text_to_run, md5, text_to_exclude = cm.get_text(kernel.conf, session)
rc, res = session.do(
    text_to_run, md5, text_to_exclude=text_to_exclude, display=False)

Tests

Adding tests

Tests are contained in the Python files in the tests/ folder. The test_stata_lexer.py and test_mata_lexer.py files run automated tests on the code Stata kernel uses to parse user input.

Running tests

To run the tests, you need to install pytest and jupyter_kernel_test:

pip install pytest jupyter_kernel_test

From the project root, to run all tests, run

pytest tests/

To run just the non-automated tests that depend on having Stata available locally, run

pytest tests/test_kernel.py

For each of the above, if you get a ModuleNotFound error, you may need to use python -m pytest tests/.

Updating the docs

First install mkdocs:

pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material

Then cd to the docs folder:

cd docs/

Then to serve the documentation website in real time, run

mkdocs serve

This starts a web server on localhost, usually on port 8000. So you can open your web browser and type in localhost:8000, click Enter, and you should see the website. This will update in real time as you write more documentation.

To create a static website, run:

mkdocs build

To publish the website to the documentation website (if you have repository push access) run:

mkdocs gh-deploy

Releasing new versions

To increment version numbers, run one of:

bumpversion major
bumpversion minor
bumpversion patch

in the project's root directory. This will also automatically create a git commit and tag of the version. Then push with:

git push origin master --tags

so that Github sees the newest tag.

Then to release:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
python -m twine upload dist/stata_kernel-VERSION*

and put in the PyPI username and password.
