Q: How can I contribute to eZ Publish's development?

eZ Publish is a fully open source and community-driven project. Code contributions are simply done via github Pull Requests.

Contribute

Workflow

• Remember to first create a issue in our issue tracker and refer to it in commits and Pull Requests headers.
  • Examples:

• • •  "Implement EZP-201xx: Add support for X in Y"
    • "Fix EZP-20104: ContentController should return error status when content is not found"

• Keep different changes in different commits in case cherry-pick is preferred instead of a merge later.
• A Pull Request should only cover one issue.
• A commit should not contain code changes at the same time as doing coding standards/whitespace/typo fixes.

Testing

• TDD: Write/Change the test(s) for the change you do and commit it before you do the actual code change
• If a bug affects Public API, write or enhance a integration test to make sure the bug is covered.
• Unit tests should only use mocks/stubs and never test the full stack like integrations tests does.
• Please test/check your commits before pushing:
• Run unit tests and integration test before commits
