Developer Installation#

If something goes wrong at any point during installing the library please see how our CI/CD on GitHub Actions installs and builds the project as it will always be the most up-to-date.

Get Started!#

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up speakerbox for local development.

  1. Fork the speakerbox repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    git clone git@github.com:{your_name_here}/speakerbox.git
    
  3. Install just.

    Cargo: cargo install just Windows: scoop install just or choco install just MacOS: brew install just

  4. Install the project in editable mode. (It is also recommended to work in a virtualenv or anaconda environment):

       cd speakerbox/
       just install
    
    If this doesn't work try: ``pip install -e '.[lint,test,docs,dev]'``.
    
  5. Create a branch for local development:

       git checkout -b {your_development_type}/short-description
    
    Ex: feature/read-tiff-files or bugfix/handle-file-not-found\ :raw-html-m2r:`<br>`
    Now you can make your changes locally.
    
  6. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass linting and tests with just:

    just build
    
  7. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    git add .
    git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    git push origin {your_development_type}/short-description
    
  8. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Just Commands#

For development commands we use just.

just
Available recipes:
    build                    # run lint and then run tests
    clean                    # clean all build, python, and lint files
    default                  # list all available commands
    generate-docs            # generate Sphinx HTML documentation
    install                  # install with all deps
    lint                     # lint, format, and check all files
    release                  # release a new version
    serve-docs               # generate Sphinx HTML documentation and serve to browser
    tag-for-release version  # tag a new version
    test                     # run tests
    update-from-cookiecutter # update this repo using latest cookiecutter-py-package

Deploying#

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure the main branch is checked out and all desired changes are merged. Then run:

just tag-for-release "vX.Y.Z"
just release

The presence of a tag starting with “v” will trigger the publish step in the main github workflow, which will build the package and upload it to PyPI. The version will be injected into the package metadata by ``setuptools-scm` <https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm>`_
