Contributing to sway

Contributing just involves sending a pull request. You will probably be more successful with your contribution if you visit the IRC channel upfront and discuss your plans.

Pull Requests

If you already have your own pull request habits, feel free to use them. If you don't, however, allow me to make a suggestion: feature branches pulled from upstream. Try this:

1. Fork sway
2. Clone your fork
3. git remote add upstream git://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway.git

You only need to do this once. You're never going to use your fork's master branch. Instead, when you start working on a feature, do this:

1. git fetch upstream
2. git checkout -b add-so-and-so-feature upstream/master
3. work
4. git push -u origin add-so-and-so-feature
5. Make pull request from your feature branch

Writing Tests

Tests are driven by CMocka. When testing a given function, we can "mock" out the functions it relies on to program their behavior explicitly and test the function in isolation. The directory layout of test/ is identical to the global directory layout, but each C file in the parent tree has its own directory in the test tree, with its own CMakeLists.txt that wires things up. To add a test, make the appropriate directory in test/ and add a CMakeLists.txt that looks something like this made-up example:

configure_test(
    SUBPROJECT swaymsg
    NAME main
    SOURCES
        ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/swaymsg/main.c
        swaymsg.c
    WRAPPERS
        ipc_open_socket
    LIBRARIES
        ${WLC_LIBRARIES}
    INCLUDES
        ${WLC_INCLUDES}
)

This defines a test suite in the swaymsg subproject that tests main. This file would live at test/swaymsg/main/CMakeLists.txt. It specifies that it requires swaymsg/main.c and test/swaymsg/main/swaymsg.c, the former being the actual swaymsg source and the latter being the test suite. It mocks ipc_open_socket and links against openssl. See the cmocka documentation or read existing tests to learn more about how mocks work.

Coding Style

Sway is written in C. The style guidelines is kernel style, but all braces go on the same line ("but K&R says so!" is a silly way of justifying something). Some points to note:

• Do not use typedefs unless you have a good reason
• Do not use macros unless you have a really good reason
• Align case with switch
• Tabs, not spaces
• char *pointer - note position of *
• Use logging with reckless abandon
• Always include braces for if/for/while/etc, even for one-liners

An example of well formatted code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "log.h"
#include "example.h"

struct foobar {
	char *foo;
	int bar;
	long baz;
}; // Do not typedef without a good reason

int main(int argc, const char **argv) {
	if (argc != 4) {

	}

	}
