Filing tickets against loglevel
If you’d like to file a bug or a feature request for loglevel, the best option is to open an issue on Github.
If you’re filing a feature request, please remember:
- Feature requests significantly expanding the scope of loglevel outside the description in the readme will probably be rejected.
- Features that can’t be meaningfully implemented in a cross-environment compatible manner won’t be implemented.
- Please check the previously opened issues to see if somebody else has suggested it first.
- Consider submitting a pull request to add the feature instead, if you’re confident it fits within the above
If you’re filing a bug, please remember:
- To provide detailed steps to reproduce the behaviour
- If possible, provide a Jasmine test which reproduces the behaviour
- Please specify the exact details of the environment in which it fails: OS + Environment (i.e. Browser or Node) + version
- Consider submitting a pull request to fix the bug instead
Helping develop loglevel
If you’d like to help develop loglevel further, please submit a pull request! I’m very keen to improve loglevel further, and good pull requests will be enthusiastically merged.
Before submitting a pull request to fix a bug or add a new feature, please check the lists above to ensure it’ll be accepted. Browser compatibility is particularly important here; if you add a feature or fix a bug which breaks things on other browsers it will not be merged, no matter how awesome it may be.
To be more specific, before submitting your pull request please ensure:
- You haven’t broken the existing test suite in any obvious browsers (at least check latest IE/FF/Chrome - automatic saucelabs tests for this are coming soon too)
- You’ve added relevant tests for the bug you’re fixing/the new feature you’re adding/etc, which pass in all the relevant browsers
- JSHint is happy with your new code
- You’ve updated the API docs (in README.md) to detail any changes you’ve made to the public interface
- Your change is backward compatible (or you’ve explicitly said if it’s not; this isn’t great, but will be considered)
- You haven’t changed any files in dist/ (these are auto-generated, and should only be changed on release)
Project structure
The core project code is all in lib/loglevel.js, and this should be the only file you need to touch for functional changes themselves.
The released code is in dist/*.js, and should not be touched by anything except releases
The test suite is entirely in test/*.js:
- Every file ending in ‘-test.js’ is a unit test, is written in RequireJS, and should pass in any environment
- global-integration.js and node-integration.js are quick integration smoke tests for node and for browser global usage
- test-helpers.js contains some test utilities
- manual-test.html is a test page which includes the current loglevel build, so you can manually check it works in a given browser
How to make your change and submit it
- Fork loglevel
- Clone your fork locally
- Create a branch from master for your change
- Write some tests in /test for your change, as relevant
- Make your code changes in /lib/loglevel.js
- Check your code all passes (run
grunt
) - if you have any issues try running grunt jasmine:requirejs:src:build
(or a different test build instead of ‘requirejs’: see the jasmine config in Gruntfile.js) and debugging the generated _SpecRunner.html in a browser
- Commit your changes
- Open a pull request back to master in loglevel
