Guidelines for contributing.
We have a number of areas where we can accept contributions:
- Work on missing features and bugs
- A Pull Request is not necessary. Raise an Issue and we'll fix it as soon as we can.
The maintainers would like to make faas-fargate the best it can be and welcome new contributions that align with the project's goals. Our time is limited so we'd like to make sure we agree on the proposed work before you spend time doing it. Saying "no" is hard which is why we'd rather say "yes" ahead of time. You need to raise a proposal.
Please do not raise a proposal after doing the work - this is counter to the spirit of the project. It is hard to be objective about something which has already been done
What makes a good proposal?
- Brief summary including motivation/context
- Any design changes
- Pros + Cons
- Effort required up front
- Effort required for CI/CD, release, ongoing maintenance
- Migration strategy / backwards-compatibility
- Mock-up screenshots or examples of how the CLI would work
If you are proposing a new tool or service please do due diligence. Does this tool already exist? Can we reuse it? For example: a timer / CRON-type scheduler for invoking functions.
Please read this whole guide and make sure you agree to our DCO agreement (included below):
- See guidelines on commit messages (below)
- Sign-off your commits
- Complete the whole template for issues and pull requests
- Reference addressed issues in the PR description & commit messages - use 'Fixes #IssueNo'
- Always give instructions for testing
- Provide us CLI commands and output or screenshots where you can
The first line of the commit message is the subject, this should be followed by a blank line and then a message describing the intent and purpose of the commit. These guidelines are based upon a post by Chris Beams.
- When you run
git commit
make sure you sign-off the commit by typinggit commit -s
. - The commit subject-line should start with an uppercase letter
- The commit subject-line should not exceed 72 characters in length
- The commit subject-line should not end with punctuation (., etc)
When giving a commit body:
- Leave a blank line after the subject-line
- Make sure all lines are wrapped to 72 characters
Here's an example:
Add secrets to provider

Unit testing with Golang

I have a question, a suggestion or need help
Please raise an Issue.
I need to add a dependency
We use vendoring for projects written in Go. This means that we will maintain a copy of the source-code of dependencies within Git. It allows a repeatable build and isolates change.
We use Golang's dep
tool to manage dependencies for Golang projects - https://github.com/golang/dep
