<h1>Hacking hg-review<a class="headerlink" href="#hacking-hg-review" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Want to improve hg-review? Great!</p>
<p>The easiest way is to make some changes, push them somewhere public and send
a pull request on Bitbucket (or <a class="reference external" href="mailto:steve&#37;&#52;&#48;stevelosh&#46;com">email Steve</a>).</p>
<div class="section" id="rough-guidelines">
<h2>Rough Guidelines<a class="headerlink" href="#rough-guidelines" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few tips that will make hg-review&#8217;s maintainer happier.</p>
<div class="section" id="basic-coding-style">
<h3>Basic Coding Style<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-coding-style" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Keep lines of code under 85 characters, unless it makes things <em>really</em> ugly.</p>
<p>Indentation is four spaces. Tabs are evil.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="commit-messages">
<h3>Commit Messages<a class="headerlink" href="#commit-messages" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Commit messages should start with a line like:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>api: add feature X</pre>
</div>
<p>The first part is the component the change affects, like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">api</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cli</span></tt>,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">web</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">docs/api</span></tt>, or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">guts</span></tt>.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">guts</span></tt> is a catchall for changesets that affect everything at once &#8211; using
it means that the changeset could probably be split up into separate smallet
changesets.</p>
<p>The rest of the commit message should describe the change.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="tests">
<h3>Tests<a class="headerlink" href="#tests" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Update the tests <em>in the same changeset as your change</em>.  This makes bisection
by running the test suite easier.</p>
<p>If your changeset changes the CLI output, make sure you&#8217;ve read the next
section and then add a test for it <em>in the same changeset</em>.</p>
<p>If your changeset adds a new feature, add a test for it <em>in the same
changeset</em>.</p>
<p>If your changeset fixes a bug, add a test that would reproduce the bug <em>in the
same changeset</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="backwards-compatibility">
<h3>Backwards Compatibility<a class="headerlink" href="#backwards-compatibility" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>hg-review&#8217;s internal implementation is not stable. Feel free to modify it
however you like. Patches that clean up the code and/or enhance performance
will be gladly accepted.</p>
<p>hg-review&#8217;s file format is stable, but new fields may be added at any time.
Removing a field or changing its format is not allowed without a very good
reason. Adding an entirely new file format may be acceptable if there is
a compelling reason.</p>
<p>hg-review&#8217;s command line interface is stable. Adding new commands or adding new
options to existing commands is fine if they prove useful. Removing commands or
radically changing the default output of existing commands is not acceptable
except in extreme cases.</p>
<p>hg-review is currently compatible with Python 2.5+ and Mercurial 1.6+. Patches
that break this compatibility will be met with a large dose of skepticism.</p>

<div class="section" id="layout">
<h2>Layout<a class="headerlink" href="#layout" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>hg-review&#8217;s basic structure looks like this:</p>

<h2>Testing<a class="headerlink" href="#testing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>hg-review contains a test suite for the command line interface (and therefore
the backend API as well).</p>
<p>The tests can be run easily with nose. If you don&#8217;t have node, you&#8217;ll need to
install it first:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>pip install nose</pre>
</div>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got it you can run the suite by cd&#8217;ing to the hg-review directory
and running <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nosetests</span></tt>.</p>
<p>Before submitting a changeset please make sure it doesn&#8217;t break any tests.</p>
<p>If your changeset adds a new feature, add a test for it <em>in the same
changeset</em>.</p>
<p>If your changeset fixes a bug, add a test that would reproduce the bug <em>in the
same changeset</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="documentation">
<h2>Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you want to submit a patch, please update the documentation to reflect your
change (if necessary) <em>in the same changeset</em>.</p>
<p>The documentation is formatted as restructured text and built with Sphinx
(version 0.6.7).</p>
<p>The CSS for the documentation is written with LessCSS.  If you want to update
the style you should update the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">docs/hgreview/static/review.less</span></tt> file and
render it to CSS. Include the changes to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.less</span></tt> file <em>and</em> the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.css</span></tt>
file in your changeset.</p>
