## Issues
|
|
|
|
* Request features and report bugs using the [GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues).
|
|
* Please indicate the platform you are using fsnotify on.
|
|
* A code example to reproduce the problem is appreciated.

### Contributor License Agreement
|
|
|
|
fsnotify is derived from code in the [golang.org/x/exp](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp) package and it may be included [in the standard library](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/1) in the future. Therefore fsnotify carries the same [LICENSE](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/LICENSE) as Go. Contributors retain their copyright, so you need to fill out a short form before we can accept your contribution: [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual).
|
|
|
|
Please indicate that you have signed the CLA in your pull request.

|
|
|
### How fsnotify is Developed
|
|
|
|
* Development is done on feature branches.
|
|
* Tests are run on BSD, Linux, OS X and Windows.
|
|
* Pull requests are reviewed and [applied to master][am] using [hub][].
|
|
* Maintainers may modify or squash commits rather than asking contributors to.
|
|
* To issue a new release, the maintainers will:
|
|
* Update the CHANGELOG
|
|
* Tag a version, which will become available through gopkg.in.
|
|
|
|
### How to Fork
|
|
|
|
For smooth sailing, always use the original import path. Installing with `go get` makes this easy.
|
|
|
|
1. Install from GitHub (`go get -u github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify`)
|
|
2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
|
|
3. Ensure everything works and the tests pass (see below)
|
|
4. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`)
|
|
|
|
Contribute upstream:
|
|
|
|
1. Fork fsnotify on GitHub
|
|
2. Add your remote (`git remote add fork git@github.com:mycompany/repo.git`)
|
|
3. Push to the branch (`git push fork my-new-feature`)
|
|
4. Create a new Pull Request on GitHub
|
|
|
|
This workflow is [thoroughly explained by Katrina Owen](https://blog.splice.com/contributing-open-source-git-repositories-go/).
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
|
|
fsnotify uses build tags to compile different code on Linux, BSD, OS X, and Windows.
|
|
|
|
Before doing a pull request, please do your best to test your changes on multiple platforms, and list which platforms you were able/unable to test on.
|
|
|
|
To aid in cross-platform testing there is a Vagrantfile for Linux and BSD.
|
|
|
|
* Install [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/) and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
|
|
* Setup [Vagrant Gopher](https://github.com/nathany/vagrant-gopher) in your `src` folder.
|
|
* Run `vagrant up` from the project folder. You can also setup just one box with `vagrant up linux` or `vagrant up bsd` (note: the BSD box doesn't support Windows hosts at this time, and NFS may prompt for your host OS password)
|
|
* Once setup, you can run the test suite on a given OS with a single command `vagrant ssh linux -c 'cd fsnotify/fsnotify; go test'`.
|
|
* When you're done, you will want to halt or destroy the Vagrant boxes.
|
|
|
|
Notice: fsnotify file system events won't trigger in shared folders. The tests get around this limitation by using the /tmp directory.
|
|
|
|
Right now there is no equivalent solution for Windows and OS X, but there are Windows VMs [freely available from Microsoft](http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads).
|
|
|
|
### Maintainers
|
|
|
|
Help maintaining fsnotify is welcome. To be a maintainer:
|
|
|
|
* Submit a pull request and sign the CLA as above.
|
|
* You must be able to run the test suite on Mac, Windows, Linux and BSD.
|
|
|
|
To keep master clean, the fsnotify project uses the "apply mail" workflow outlined in Nathaniel Talbott's post ["Merge pull request" Considered Harmful][am]. This requires installing [hub][].
|
|
|
|
All code changes should be internal pull requests.
|
|
|
|
Releases are tagged using [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
