Welcome to Clinic.js!

Please take a second to read over this before opening an issue. Providing complete information upfront will help us address any issue (and ship new features!) faster.

We greatly appreciate bug fixes, documentation improvements and new features, however when contributing a new major feature, it is a good idea to idea to first open an issue, to make sure the feature it fits with the goal of the project, so we don't waste your or our time.

Code of Conduct

The Clinic.js project has a Code of Conduct that all contributors are expected to follow.

Bug Reports

A perfect bug report would have the following:

  1. Summary of the issue you are experiencing.
  2. Details on what versions of node and Clinic.js you have (node -v and clinic -v).
  3. A simple repeatable test case for us to run. Please try to run through it 2-3 times to ensure it is completely repeatable.

We would like to avoid issues that require a follow up questions to identify the bug. These follow ups are difficult to do unless we have a repeatable test case.

For Developers

All contributions should fit the standard linter, and pass the tests. You can test this by running:

npm test

In addition, make sure to add tests for any new features. You can test the test coverage by running:

npm run ci-cov

For Collaborators

Make sure to get a :thumbsup:, +1 or LGTM from another collaborator before merging a PR. If you aren't sure if a release should happen, open an issue.

Release process:

  • npm test
  • npm version <major|minor|patch>
  • git push && git push --tags
  • npm publish

Licensing and Certification

All contributions to the Clinic.js project are submitted to the project under the MIT license.

The Clinic.js project uses a Contribution Certification that is derived from the Developer Certificate of Origin. It is important to note that the Contribution Certification is not the same as the standard DCO and we do not use the term "DCO" or "Developer Certificate of Origin" to describe it to avoid confusion. Nevertheless, the intent and purpose is effectively the same.

Every contributor agrees to the Contribution Certification by including a Signed-off-by statement within each commit. The statement must include the contributor's real full name and email address.

Signed-off-by: J. Random User <j.random.user@example.com>
