If you'd like to run the test suite, fix a bug or add a feature, please follow these steps:
-
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
-
Check out the latest
master
branch to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed -
Fork the project
-
Install all dependencies:
bundle install
-
Start a feature/bugfix branch:
git checkout -b my_feature_name
-
Place a
.env
file in the root of the project withAPI_KEY
andAPPLICATION_KEY
:API_KEY: myapikey APPLICATION_KEY: chefhandlerspecificapplicationkey
This file is intentionally .gitignored to prevent security exposure. You may use your own Datadog account keys, as the keys are filtered from the test recordings. Running the test suite will not make calls to Datadog for existing tests, see
spec/support/cassettes/
for more. -
Run
rake
to execute tests, ensure they pass -
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
-
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Please try not to mess with the
Rakefile
, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
