## Contributing to xorm
`xorm` has a backlog of [pull requests](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/pulls), but contributions are still very
much welcome. You can help with patch review, submitting [bug reports](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/issues),
or adding new functionality. There is no formal style guide, but
please conform to the style of existing code and general Go formatting
conventions when submitting patches.
* [fork the repo](https://gitea.com/repo/fork/2038)
* [creating a pull request ](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/pull-request/)
### Language
Since `xorm` is a world-wide open source project, please describe your issues or code changes in English as soon as possible.
### Sign your codes with comments
```
// !<your gitea.com id>! your comments
e.g.,
// !lunny! this is comments made by lunny
```
### Build xorm and test it locally
Once you write some codes on your feature branch, you could build and test locally at first. Just
```
make build
```
and
```
make test
```
The `make test` is an alias of `make test-sqlite`, it will run the tests on a sqlite database file. No extra thing needed to do except you need to cgo compile enviroment.
If you write a new test method, you could run
```
make test-sqlite#TestMyNewMethod
```
that will only run the special test method.
If you want to run another datase, you have to prepare a running database at first, and then, you could
```
TEST_MYSQL_HOST= TEST_MYSQL_CHARSET= TEST_MYSQL_DBNAME= TEST_MYSQL_USERNAME= TEST_MYSQL_PASSWORD= make test-mysql
```
or other databases:
```
TEST_MSSQL_HOST= TEST_MSSQL_DBNAME= TEST_MSSQL_USERNAME= TEST_MSSQL_PASSWORD= make test-mssql
```
```
TEST_PGSQL_HOST= TEST_PGSQL_SCHEMA= TEST_PGSQL_DBNAME= TEST_PGSQL_USERNAME= TEST_PGSQL_PASSWORD= make test-postgres
```
```
TEST_TIDB_HOST= TEST_TIDB_DBNAME= TEST_TIDB_USERNAME= TEST_TIDB_PASSWORD= make test-tidb
```
And if your branch is related with cache, you could also enable it via `TEST_CACHE_ENABLE=true`.
### Patch review
Help review existing open [pull requests](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/pulls) by commenting on the code or
proposed functionality.
### Bug reports
We appreciate any bug reports, but especially ones with self-contained
(doesn't depend on code outside of xorm), minimal (can't be simplified
further) test cases. It's especially helpful if you can submit a pull
request with just the failing test case(you can find some example test file like [session_get_test.go](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/src/branch/master/session_get_test.go)).
If you implements a new database interface, you maybe need to add a test_<databasename>.sh file.
For example, [mysql_test.go](https://gitea.com/xorm/xorm/src/branch/master/test_mysql.sh)
### New functionality
There are a number of pending patches for new functionality, so
additional feature patches will take a while to merge. Still, patches
are generally reviewed based on usefulness and complexity in addition
to time-in-queue, so if you have a knockout idea, take a shot. Feel
free to open an issue discussion your proposed patch beforehand.
