Tip

Development should generally occur against the latest commit on the main branch. Please be sure that you are using the development documentation from there as well instead of reading the latest released documentation. One place to find these is the latest version on Read the Docs.

Reviewing

Manual checks

  • The change should happen
    • The bug is a bug

    • The feature is an improvement

    • The code belongs in QTrio, not another package
      • Unless it is a workaround in QTrio temporarily or because the proper library has declined to resolve the issue.

  • Relevant bugs or features are being tested
    • The line coverage provided by automatic coverage checks are valuable but you are the only one that can decide if the proper functionality is being tested

  • Documentation updates
    • Docstrings are present and accurate for all modules, classes, methods, and functions including private ones and tests.

    • For bug fixes consider if the docs should be updated to clarify proper behavior

    • For feature additions consider if prose in the docs should be updated in addition to the docstrings.

  • The change is described for the user
    • If this is a change relevant to users, there should be a newsfragment file as follows

    • Newsfragment file name has the proper issue or PR number and change type

    • The contents describe the change well for users

    • Proper Sphinx references are used where appropriate

Automatic checks

  • Full test suite passes across:
    • operating systems

    • Python versions

    • Qt libraries

  • All code and tests lines are fully covered when running tests

  • Code is formatted per Black

  • Code passes flake8 checks

  • Docs build successfully including newsfragment, if present

  • Branch is up to date with main
