Contributing to Tianshou
========================
Install Develop Version
-----------------------
Tianshou is built and managed by `poetry <https://python-poetry.org/>`_. For example,
to install all relevant requirements in editable mode you can simply call
.. code-block:: bash
$ poetry install --with dev
PEP8 Code Style Check and Formatting
----------------------------------------
Please set up pre-commit by running
.. code-block:: bash
$ pre-commit install
in the main directory. This should make sure that your contribution is properly
formatted before every commit.
The code is inspected and formatted by `black` and `ruff`. They are executed as
pre-commit hooks. In addition, `poe the poet` tasks are configured.
Simply run `poe` to see the available tasks.
E.g, to format and check the linting manually you can run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ poe format
$ poe lint
Type Check
----------
We use `mypy <https://github.com/python/mypy/>`_ to check the type annotations. To check, in the main directory, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ poe type-check
Test Locally
------------
This command will run automatic tests in the main directory
.. code-block:: bash
$ poe test
Test by GitHub Actions
----------------------
1. Click the ``Actions`` button in your own repo:
.. image:: ../_static/images/action1.jpg
:align: center
2. Click the green button:
.. image:: ../_static/images/action2.jpg
:align: center
3. You will see ``Actions Enabled.`` on the top of html page.
4. When you push a new commit to your own repo (e.g. ``git push``), it will automatically run the test in this page:
.. image:: ../_static/images/action3.png
:align: center
Documentation
-------------
Documentations are written under the ``docs/`` directory as ReStructuredText (``.rst``) files. ``index.rst`` is the main page. A Tutorial on ReStructuredText can be found `here <https://pythonhosted.org/an_example_pypi_project/sphinx.html>`_.
API References are automatically generated by `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/>`_ according to the outlines under ``docs/api/`` and should be modified when any code changes.
To compile documentation into webpage, run
.. code-block:: bash
$ poe doc-build
The generated webpage is in ``docs/_build`` and can be viewed with browser (http://0.0.0.0:8000/).
Documentation Generation Test
-----------------------------
We have the following three documentation tests:
1. pydocstyle (as part of ruff): test all docstring under ``tianshou/``;
2. doc8 (as part of ruff): test ReStructuredText format;
3. sphinx spelling and test: test if there is any error/warning when generating front-end html documentation.
To check, in the main directory, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ poe lint
$ poe doc-build
