# How to become a contributor and submit your own code

## Contributor License Agreements

We'd love to accept your patches! Before we can take them, we
have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement
(CLA).

  * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
    own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an
    [individual CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual).
  * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
    then you'll need to sign a
    [corporate CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate).

Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to
accept your pull requests.

## Contributing A Patch

1. Submit an issue describing your proposed change to the
   [issue tracker](https://github.com/google/googletest).
1. Please don't mix more than one logical change per submittal,
   because it makes the history hard to follow. If you want to make a
   change that doesn't have a corresponding issue in the issue
   tracker, please create one.
1. Also, coordinate with team members that are listed on the issue in
   question. This ensures that work isn't being duplicated and
   communicating your plan early also generally leads to better
   patches.
1. If your proposed change is accepted, and you haven't already done so, sign a
   Contributor License Agreement (see details above).
1. Fork the desired repo, develop and test your code changes.
1. Ensure that your code adheres to the existing style in the sample to which
   you are contributing.
1. Ensure that your code has an appropriate set of unit tests which all pass.
1. Submit a pull request.

If you are a Googler, it is preferable to first create an internal change and
have it reviewed and submitted, and then create an upstreaming pull
request here. 

## The Google Test and Google Mock Communities ##

The Google Test community exists primarily through the
[discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googletestframework)
and the GitHub repository.
Likewise, the Google Mock community exists primarily through their own
[discussion group](http://groups.google.com/group/googlemock).
You are definitely encouraged to contribute to the
discussion and you can also help us to keep the effectiveness of the
group high by following and promoting the guidelines listed here.

### Please Be Friendly ###

Showing courtesy and respect to others is a vital part of the Google
culture, and we strongly encourage everyone participating in Google
Test development to join us in accepting nothing less. Of course,
being courteous is not the same as failing to constructively disagree
with each other, but it does mean that we should be respectful of each
other when enumerating the 42 technical reasons that a particular
proposal may not be the best choice. There's never a reason to be
antagonistic or dismissive toward anyone who is sincerely trying to
contribute to a discussion.

Sure, C++ testing is serious business and all that, but it's also
a lot of fun. Let's keep it that way. Let's strive to be one of the
friendliest communities in all of open source.

As always, discuss Google Test in the official GoogleTest discussion group.
You don't have to actually submit code in order to sign up. Your participation
itself is a valuable contribution.

## Style

To keep the source consistent, readable, diffable and easy to merge,
we use a fairly rigid coding style, as defined by the [google-styleguide](https://github.com/google/styleguide) project.  All patches will be expected
to conform to the style outlined [here](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html).

## Requirements for Contributors ###

If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to build Google Test,
Google Mock, and their own tests from a git checkout, which has
further requirements:

  * [Python](https://www.python.org/) v2.3 or newer (for running some of
    the tests and re-generating certain source files from templates)
  * [CMake](https://cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or newer
  * [GNU Build System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Build_System)
    including automake (>= 1.9), autoconf (>= 2.59), and
    libtool / libtoolize.

## Developing Google Test ##

This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Test.

### Testing Google Test Itself ###

To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing
functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests.
For that you can use CMake:

    mkdir mybuild
    cd mybuild
    cmake -Dgtest_build_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}

Make sure you have Python installed, as some of Google Test's tests
are written in Python.  If the cmake command complains about not being
able to find Python (`Could NOT find PythonInterp (missing:
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)`), try telling it explicitly where your Python
executable can be found:

    cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=path/to/python -Dgtest_build_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}

Next, you can build Google Test and all of its own tests.  On \*nix,
this is usually done by 'make'.  To run the tests, do

    make test

All tests should pass.

### Regenerating Source Files ##

Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
in the C++ sense) using a script.
For example, the
file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.

You don't need to worry about regenerating the source files
unless you need to modify them.  You would then modify the
corresponding `.pump` files and run the '[pump.py](googletest/scripts/pump.py)'
generator script.  See the [Pump Manual](googletest/docs/PumpManual.md).

## Developing Google Mock ###

This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Mock.

#### Testing Google Mock Itself ####

To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing
functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests.
For that you'll need Autotools.  First, make sure you have followed
the instructions above to configure Google Mock.
Then, create a build output directory and enter it.  Next,

    ${GMOCK_DIR}/configure  # try --help for more info

Once you have successfully configured Google Mock, the build steps are
standard for GNU-style OSS packages.

    make        # Standard makefile following GNU conventions
    make check  # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass.

Note that when building your project against Google Mock, you are building
against Google Test as well.  There is no need to configure Google Test
separately.
