Contributing to the AWS SDK for Go
|
|
|
|
We work hard to provide a high-quality and useful SDK, and we greatly value
|
|
feedback and contributions from our community. Whether it's a bug report,
|
|
new feature, correction, or additional documentation, we welcome your issues
|
|
and pull requests. Please read through this document before submitting any
|
|
issues or pull requests to ensure we have all the necessary information to
|
|
effectively respond to your bug report or contribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Filing Bug Reports
|
|
|
|
You can file bug reports against the SDK on the [GitHub issues][issues] page.
|
|
|
|
If you are filing a report for a bug or regression in the SDK, it's extremely
|
|
helpful to provide as much information as possible when opening the original
|
|
issue. This helps us reproduce and investigate the possible bug without having
|
|
to wait for this extra information to be provided. Please read the following
|
|
guidelines prior to filing a bug report.
|
|
|
|
1. Search through existing [issues][] to ensure that your specific issue has
|
|
not yet been reported. If it is a common issue, it is likely there is
|
|
already a bug report for your problem.
|
|
|
|
2. Ensure that you have tested the latest version of the SDK. Although you
|
|
may have an issue against an older version of the SDK, we cannot provide
|
|
bug fixes for old versions. It's also possible that the bug may have been
|
|
fixed in the latest release.
|
|
|
|
3. Provide as much information about your environment, SDK version, and
|
|
relevant dependencies as possible. For example, let us know what version
|
|
of Go you are using, which and version of the operating system, and the
|
|
the environment your code is running in. e.g Container.
|
|
|
|
4. Provide a minimal test case that reproduces your issue or any error
|
|
information you related to your problem. We can provide feedback much
|
|
more quickly if we know what operations you are calling in the SDK. If
|
|
you cannot provide a full test case, provide as much code as you can
|
|
to help us diagnose the problem. Any relevant information should be provided
|
|
as well, like whether this is a persistent issue, or if it only occurs
|
|
some of the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Submitting Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
We are always happy to receive code and documentation contributions to the SDK.
|
|
Please be aware of the following notes prior to opening a pull request:
|
|
|
|
1. The SDK is released under the [Apache license][license]. Any code you submit
|
|
will be released under that license. For substantial contributions, we may
|
|
ask you to sign a [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)][cla].
|
|
|
|
2. If you would like to implement support for a significant feature that is not
|
|
yet available in the SDK, please talk to us beforehand to avoid any
|
|
duplication of effort.
|
|
|
|
3. Wherever possible, pull requests should contain tests as appropriate.
|
|
Bugfixes should contain tests that exercise the corrected behavior (i.e., the
|
|
test should fail without the bugfix and pass with it), and new features
|
|
should be accompanied by tests exercising the feature.
|
|
|
|
4. Pull requests that contain failing tests will not be merged until the test
|
|
failures are addressed. Pull requests that cause a significant drop in the
|
|
SDK's test coverage percentage are unlikely to be merged until tests have
|
|
been added.
|
|
|
|
5. The JSON files under the SDK's `models` folder are sourced from outside the SDK.
|
|
Such as `models/apis/ec2/2016-11-15/api.json`. We will not accept pull requests
|
|
directly on these models. If you discover an issue with the models please
|
|
create a [GitHub issue][issues] describing the issue.
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
|
|
To run the tests locally, running the `make unit` command will `go get` the
|
|
SDK's testing dependencies, and run vet, link and unit tests for the SDK.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make unit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Standard go testing functionality is supported as well. To test SDK code that
|
|
is tagged with `codegen` you'll need to set the build tag in the go test
|
|
command. The `make unit` command will do this automatically.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go test -tags codegen ./private/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the `Makefile` for additional testing tags that can be used in testing.
|
|
|
|
To test on multiple platform the SDK includes several DockerFiles under the
|
|
`awstesting/sandbox` folder, and associated make recipes to to execute
|
|
unit testing within environments configured for specific Go versions.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make sandbox-test-go18
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run all sandbox environments use the following make recipe
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Optionally update the Go tip that will be used during the batch testing
|
|
make update-aws-golang-tip
|
|
|
|
# Run all SDK tests for supported Go versions in sandboxes
|
|
make sandbox-test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In addition the sandbox environment include make recipes for interactive modes
|
|
so you can run command within the Docker container and context of the SDK.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make sandbox-go18
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Changelog
|
|
|
|
You can see all release changes in the `CHANGELOG.md` file at the root of the
|
|
repository. The release notes added to this file will contain service client
|
|
updates, and major SDK changes.
