# Contributing to Zellij
|
||
|
||
Thanks for considering to contribute to Zellij!
|
||
|
||
**First**: if you're unsure of anything, feel free to ask on our [Discord
|
||
server](https://discord.gg/MHV3n76PDq). We're a friendly and welcoming bunch!
|
||
|
||
# Code of Conduct
|
||
|
||
Before contributing please read our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) which
|
||
all contributors are expected to adhere to.
|
||
|
||
## Building
|
||
To build Zellij, we're using cargo-make – you can install it by running `cargo
|
||
install --force cargo-make`.
|
||
|
||
To edit our manpage, the mandown crate (`cargo install
|
||
mandown`) is used and the work is done on a markdown file in docs/MANPAGE.md.
|
||
|
||
Here are some of the commands currently supported by the build system:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Format code, build, then run tests and clippy
|
||
cargo make
|
||
# You can also perform these actions individually
|
||
cargo make format
|
||
cargo make build
|
||
cargo make test
|
||
# Run Zellij (optionally with additional arguments)
|
||
cargo make run
|
||
cargo make run -- -l strider
|
||
# Run Clippy (potentially with additional options)
|
||
cargo make clippy
|
||
cargo make clippy -W clippy::pedantic
|
||
# Install Zellij to some directory
|
||
cargo make install /path/of/zellij/binary
|
||
# Publish the zellij and zellij-tile crates
|
||
cargo make publish
|
||
# Update manpage
|
||
cargo make manpage
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To run `install` or `publish`, you'll need the package `binaryen` in the
|
||
version `wasm-opt --version` > 97, for it's command `wasm-opt`.
|
||
|
||
To run `test`, you will need the package `pkg-config` and a version of `openssl`.
|
||
|
||
## Running the end-to-end tests
|
||
Zellij includes some end to end tests which test the whole application as a black-box from the outside.
|
||
These tests work by running a docker container which contains the Zellij binary, connecting to it via ssh, sending some commands and comparing the output received against predefined snapshots.
|
||
|
||
To run these tests locally, you'll need to have both `docker` and `docker-compose` installed.
|
||
Once you do, in the repository root:
|
||
1. `docker-compose up -d` will start up the docker container
|
||
2. `cargo make build-e2e` will build the generic linux executable of Zellij in the target folder, which is shared with the container
|
||
3. `cargo make e2e-test` will run the tests
|
||
|
||
To re-run the tests after you've changed something in the code base, be sure to repeat steps 2 and 3.
|
||
|
||
## Looking for something to work on?
|
||
|
||
If you are new contributor to `Zellij` going through
|
||
[beginners][good-first-issue] should be a good start or you can join our public
|
||
[Discord server][discord-invite-link], we would be happy to help finding
|
||
something interesting to work on and guide through.

## Filing Issues
|
||
|
||
Bugs and enhancement suggestions are tracked as GitHub issues.
|
||
|
||
### Lacking API for plugin in Zellij?
|
||
|
||
If you have a plugin idea, but Zellij still doesn't have API required to make
|
||
the plugin consider opening [an issue][plugin-issue] and describing your
|
||
requirements.

||
### How Do I Submit A (Good) Bug Report?
|
||
|
||
After you've determined which repository your bug is related to and that the
|
||
issue is still present in the latest version of the master branch, create an
|
||
issue on that repository and provide the following information:
|
||
|
||
- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the problem.
|
||
- Explain which **behavior you expected** to see instead and why.
|
||
- Describe the exact **steps to reproduce the problem** in as many details as
|
||
necessary.
|
||
- When providing code samples, please use [code blocks][code-blocks].
|
||
|
||
### How Do I Submit A (Good) Enhancement Suggestion?
|
||
|
||
Instructions are similar to those for bug reports. Please provide the following
|
||
information:
|
||
|
||
- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the
|
||
suggestion.
|
||
- Provide a **description of the suggested enhancement** in as many details as
|
||
necessary.
|

||
## Submitting Pull Requests
|
||
|
||
Instructions are similar to those for bug reports. Please provide the following
|
||
information:
|
||
|
||
- If this is not a trivial fix, consider **creating an issue to discuss first**
|
||
and **later link to it from the PR**.
|
||
- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the pull request.
|
||
- Follow [Conventional Commit
|
||
specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) where
|
||
sufficiently large or impactful change is made.
|
||
- Provide a **description of the changes** in as many details as necessary.
|
||
|
||
Before submitting your pull request, also make sure that the following
|
||
conditions are met:
|
||
|
||
- Your new code **adheres to the code style** through running `cargo fmt`.
|
||
- Your new code **passes all existing and new tests** through running `cargo
|
||
test`.
