Newbies welcome! We would be happy to help you make your first contribution to a F/OSS project.
## Setup
2020-10-21 16:40:34 -04:00
First step: join us on Matrix at [#puma-contrib:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/!blREBEDhVeXTYdjTVT:matrix.org?via=matrix.org)
2019-10-15 23:52:10 -04:00
Clone down the Puma repository.
2020-03-30 19:18:56 -04:00
You will need to install [ragel] (use Ragel version 7.0.0.9) to generate puma's extension code.
macOS:
```sh
brew install ragel
```
Linux:
```sh
apt-get install ragel
```
Install Ruby dependencies with:
```sh
bundle install
```
[ragel]: https://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel/
2019-10-15 23:52:10 -04:00
To run Puma, you will need to compile the native extension. To do this:
```sh
bundle exec rake compile
```
Then, you will be able to run Puma using your local copy with:
```sh
bundle exec bin/puma test/rackup/hello.ru
```
Alternatively, you can reference your local copy in a project's `Gemfile`:
```ruby
gem "puma", path: "/path/to/local/puma"
```
See the [Bundler docs](https://bundler.io/man/gemfile.5.html#PATH) for more details.
## Running tests
You can run the full test suite with:
```sh
bundle exec rake test:all
```
To run a single test file:
```sh
2020-03-14 09:11:13 -04:00
bundle exec ruby test/test_binder.rb
```
Or use [`m`](https://github.com/qrush/m):
```sh
bundle exec m test/test_binder.rb
```
2019-10-15 23:52:10 -04:00
... which can also be used to run a single test case:
```sh
bundle exec m test/test_binder.rb:37
```

## How to contribute
Puma needs help in several areas.
**The `contrib-wanted` label is applied to issues that maintainers think would be easier for first-time contributors.**
**Reproducing bug reports**: The `needs-repro` label is applied to issues that have a bug report but no reproduction steps. You can help by trying to reproduce the issue and then posting how you did it.
**Helping with our native extensions**: If you can write C or Java, we could really use your help. Check out the issue labels for c-extensions and JRuby.
**Fixing bugs**: Issues with the `bug` label have working reproduction steps, which you can use to write a test and create a patch.
**Writing features**: Issues with the `feature` label are requests for new functionality. Write tests and code up our new feature!
**Code review**: Take a look at open pull requests and offer your feedback. Code review is not just for maintainers - we need your help and eyeballs!
**Write documentation**: Puma needs more docs in many areas, especially those where we have open issues labeled `docs`.
## Reproduction steps
Reproducing a bug helps identify the root cause of that bug so it can be fixed.
To get started, create a rackup file and config file and then run your test app
with:
```sh
bundle exec puma -C <path/to/config.rb> <path/to/rackup.ru>
```
As an example, using one of the test rack apps:
[`test/rackup/hello.ru`][rackup], and one of the test config files:
[`test/config/settings.rb`][config], you would run the test app with:
```sh
bundle exec puma -C test/config/settings.rb test/rackup/hello.ru
```
There is also a Dockerfile available for reproducing Linux-specific issues. To use:
```sh
docker build -f tools/docker/Dockerfile -t puma .
docker run -p 9292:9292 -it puma
```

[config]: https://github.com/puma/puma/blob/master/test/config/settings.rb
## Pull requests
Code contributions should generally include test coverage. If you aren't sure how to
test your changes, please open a pull request and leave a comment asking for
help.
If you open a pull request with a change that doesn't need to be noted in the
changelog ([`History.md`](History.md)), add the text `[changelog skip]` to the
pull request title to skip [the changelog
check](https://github.com/puma/puma/pull/1991).

## Backports
2020-11-14 17:02:37 -05:00
Puma does not have a backport "policy" - maintainers will not consistently backport bugfixes to previous minor or major versions (we do treat security differently, see [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md).
2020-11-14 17:01:55 -05:00
As a contributor, you may make pull requests against `-stable` branches to backport fixes, and maintainers will release them once they're merged. For example, if you'd like to make a backport for 4.3.x, you can make a pull request against `4-3-stable`. If there is no appropriate branch for the release you'd like to backport against, please just open an issue and we'll make one for you.

## Bibliography/Reading
Puma can be a bit intimidating for your first contribution because there's a lot of concepts here that you've probably never had to think about before - Rack, sockets, forking, threads etc. Here are some helpful links for learning more about things related to Puma:
