At the moment we can...

...run tests in isolation, generating coverage report:

    $ dev.sh test

You can pass args to pytest as well. e.g. to run a specific test:

    $ dev.sh test -k "test_jsonb_has_all"

Launch a postgres container with useful dev defaults, with PostGIS,
cleaning up afterwards:

    $ dev.sh postgres

Build and launch graphql-engine in dev mode, connecting with a
`postgres` launched above

    $ dev.sh graphql-engine

# Contributing
This guide explains how to set up the graphql-engine server for development on your
own machine and how to contribute.
## Pre-requisites
- [stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#how-to-install)
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) (>= v8.9)
- npm >= 5.7
- libpq-dev
- python >= 3.5 with pip3
The last two prerequisites can be installed on Debian with:
$ sudo apt install libpq-dev python3 python3-pip python3-venv
### Upgrading npm
If your npm is too old (>= 5.7 required):
$ npm install -g npm@latest # sudo may be required
or update your nodejs.
## Development workflow
You should fork the repo on github and then `git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/graphql-engine`.
After making your changes
### Compile
...console assets:
$ cd console
$ npm ci
$ npm run server-build
$ cd ..
...and the server:
$ cd server
$ stack build --fast
### Run and Test
The easiest way to run `graphql-engine` locally for development is to first
launch a new postgres container with:
$ scripts/dev.sh postgres
Then in a new terminal launch `graphql-engine` in dev mode with:
$ scripts/dev.sh graphql-engine
The `dev.sh` will print some helpful information and logs from both services
will be printed to screen.
You can run the test suite with:
$ scripts/dev.sh test
This should run in isolation.
### Create Pull Request
- Make sure your commit messages meet the [guidelines](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
- Create a pull request from your forked repo to the main repo.
- Every pull request will automatically build and run the tests.
## Code conventions
This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers.
- Compiler warnings are turned on, make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use [hlint](https://github.com/ndmitchell/hlint) to make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use [stylish-haskell](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell) to format your code.
