Contributing to Tianshou
========================
Install Develop Version
-----------------------
To install Tianshou in an "editable" mode, run
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install -e ".[dev]"
in the main directory. This installation is removable by
.. code-block:: bash
$ python setup.py develop --uninstall
PEP8 Code Style Check
---------------------
We follow PEP8 python code style. To check, in the main directory, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ flake8 . --count --show-source --statistics
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
$ mypy
Test Locally
------------
This command will run automatic tests in the main directory
.. code-block:: bash
$ pytest test --cov tianshou -s --durations 0 -v
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 webpages, run
.. code-block:: bash
$ make html
under the ``docs/`` directory. The generated webpages are in ``docs/_build`` and can be viewed with browsers.
Chinese documentation is in https://tianshou.readthedocs.io/zh/latest/.
Documentation Generation Test
-----------------------------
We have the following three documentation tests:
1. pydocstyle: test docstrings under ``tianshou/``. To check, in the main directory, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pydocstyle tianshou
2. doc8: test ReStructuredText formats. To check, in the main directory, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ doc8 docs
3. sphinx test: test if there is any errors/warnings when generating front-end html documentations. To check, in the main directory, run:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd docs
$ make html SPHINXOPTS="-W"
