Contributing to Arctic Development

• Feel free to pick up an issue from the bug tracker: https://github.com/manahl/arctic/issues or add an issue in general and assign it to yourself so we don't duplicate the work on the same issue.

• Local installation

  • Clone the repo locally
  • Create a virtualenv eg. virtualenv .venv -p python3
  • Activate the virtualenv eg. source .venv/bin/activate
  • Run python setup.py install to install dependencies in your virtualenv.
  • Arctic should be ready to use locally, you can test it by importing it in your python interpreter

• After you have made changes, you can run tests with python setup.py test. You can also do something like: python setup.py test -a tests/integration/<test_name> to run a specific test.

• Run pycodestyle locally to make sure it passes the coding style checks.
