Contributing
============
The code repository is located at `OpenStack <https://github.com/openstack>`__.
Please go there if you want to check it out:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/watcher-dashboard.git
The list of bugs and blueprints is on Launchpad:

We use OpenStack's Gerrit for the code contributions:
`<https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/watcher-dashboard,n,z>`__
and we follow the `OpenStack Gerrit Workflow <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`__.
If you're interested in the code, here are some key places to start:
* `watcher_dashboard/api.py <https://github.com/openstack/watcher-dashboard/blob/master/watcher_dashboard/api.py>`_
- This file contains all the API calls made to the Watcher API
(through python-watcherclient).
* `watcher_dashboard/infra_optim <https://github.com/openstack/watcher-dashboard/tree/master/watcher_dashboard/infra_optim>`_
- The Watcher Dashboard code is contained within this directory.
Running tests
=============
There are several ways to run tests for watcher-dashboard.
Using ``tox``:
This is the easiest way to run tests. When run, tox installs dependencies,
prepares the virtual python environment, then runs test commands. The gate
tests in gerrit usually also use tox to run tests. For avaliable tox
environments, see ``tox.ini``.
By running ``run_tests.sh``:
Tests can also be run using the ``run_tests.sh`` script, to see available
options, run it with the ``--help`` option. It handles preparing the
virtual environment and executing tests, but in contrast with tox, it does
not install all dependencies, e.g. ``jshint`` must be installed before
running the jshint testcase.
Manual tests:
To manually check watcher-dashboard, it is possible to run a development server
for watcher-dashboard by running ``run_tests.sh --runserver``.
To run the server with the settings used by the test environment:
``run_tests.sh --runserver 0.0.0.0:8000``
