Add a hint to run make clean all
If developers only run make when there is a test failure the clean may not run, so 'make clean all' should be the safe mode to run the tests.

Submit a Pull-Request

You want to add a feature? Feel free to start creating an issue explaining what you want to do and how you're thinking doing it. Other users may have the same need and collaboration may lead to better results.

The development workflow is the following:

  • Fork project and clone your fork
  • Create a branch using git checkout -b branch_name (you can use issue-xxx if fixing an existing issue)
  • Run git submodule init and git submodule update to get the BATS submodules
  • Code :-)
  • Add integration tests in test/tests.bats
  • Use make clean all to build image locally and run tests Note that tests work on Linux only; they hang on Mac and Windows.
  • Document your improvements in README.md or Wiki depending on content
  • Commit, push and make a pull-request
  • Pull-request is automatically tested on Travis
  • When tests are green, a review may be done
  • When changed are validated, your branch is merged into master
  • master is automatically tested on Travis
  • Docker builds a new latest image
