### Working on the source code
|
||||
|
||||
`rustlings` is basically a glorified `rustc` wrapper. Therefore the source code
|
||||
isn't really that complicated since the bulk of the work is done by `rustc`.
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="addex"></a>
|
||||
### Adding an exercise
|
||||
|
||||
The first step is to add the exercise! Name the file `exercises/yourTopic/yourTopicN.rs`, make sure to
|
||||
put in some helpful links, and link to sections of the book in `exercises/yourTopic/README.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
Next make sure it runs with `rustlings`. The exercise metadata is stored in `info.toml`, under the `exercises` array. The order of the `exercises` array determines the order the exercises are run by `rustlings verify` and `rustlings watch`.
|
||||
|
||||
Add the metadata for your exercise in the correct order in the `exercises` array. If you are unsure of the correct ordering, add it at the bottom and ask in your pull request. The exercise metadata should contain the following:
|
||||
```diff
|
||||
...
|
||||
+ [[exercises]]
|
||||
+ name = "yourTopicN"
|
||||
+ path = "exercises/yourTopic/yourTopicN.rs"
|
||||
+ mode = "compile"
|
||||
+ hint = """
|
||||
+ Some kind of useful hint for your exercise."""
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `mode` attribute decides whether Rustlings will only compile your exercise, or compile and test it. If you have tests to verify in your exercise, choose `test`, otherwise `compile`. If you're working on a Clippy exercise, use `mode = "clippy"`.
|
||||
|
||||
That's all! Feel free to put up a pull request.

### Pull Requests
|
||||
## Pull Requests
|
||||
|
||||
Opening a pull request is as easy as forking the repository and committing your
|
||||
changes. There's a couple of things to watch out for:
|
||||
You are welcome to open a pull request, but unless it is small and trivial, **please open an issue to discuss your idea first** 🙏🏼
|
||||
|
||||
#### Write correct commit messages
|
||||
Opening a pull request is as easy as forking the repository and committing your changes.
|
||||
If you need any help with it or face any Git related problems, don't hesitate to ask for help 🤗
|
||||
|
||||
We follow the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/)
|
||||
specification.
|
||||
This means that you have to format your commit messages in a specific way. Say
|
||||
you're working on adding a new exercise called `foobar1.rs`. You could write
|
||||
the following commit message:
|
||||
It may take time to review your pull request.
|
||||
Please be patient 😇
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
feat: add foobar1.rs exercise
|
||||
## Adding An Exercise
|
||||
|
||||
- Name the file `exercises/yourTopic/yourTopicN.rs`.
|
||||
- Make sure to put in some helpful links, and link to sections of the book in `exercises/yourTopic/README.md`.
|
||||
- Add a (possible) solution at `solutions/yourTopic/yourTopicN.rs` with comments and links explaining it.
|
||||
- Add the [metadata for your exercise](#exercise-metadata) in the `info.toml` file.
|
||||
- Make sure your exercise runs with `rustlings run yourTopicN`.
|
||||
- [Open a pull request](#pull-requests).
|
||||
|
||||
### Exercise Metadata
|
||||
|
||||
The exercise metadata should contain the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[[exercises]]
|
||||
name = "yourTopicN"
|
||||
dir = "yourTopic"
|
||||
hint = """A useful (multi-line) hint for your exercise."""
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you're just fixing a bug, please use the `fix` type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
fix(verify): make sure verify doesn't self-destruct
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The scope within the brackets is optional, but should be any of these:
|
||||
|
||||
- `installation` (for the installation script)
|
||||
- `cli` (for general CLI changes)
|
||||
- `verify` (for the verification source file)
|
||||
- `watch` (for the watch functionality source)
|
||||
- `run` (for the run functionality source)
|
||||
- `EXERCISENAME` (if you're changing a specific exercise, or set of exercises,
|
||||
substitute them here)
|
||||
|
||||
When the commit also happens to close an existing issue, link it in the message
|
||||
body:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
fix: update foobar
|
||||
|
||||
closes #101029908
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you're doing simple changes, like updating a book link, use `chore`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
chore: update exercise1.rs book link
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you're updating documentation, use `docs`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
docs: add more information to Readme
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If, and only if, you're absolutely sure you want to make a breaking change
|
||||
(please discuss this beforehand!), add an exclamation mark to the type and
|
||||
explain the breaking change in the message body:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
fix!: completely change verification
|
||||
|
||||
BREAKING CHANGE: This has to be done because lorem ipsum dolor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pull Request Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Once you open a Pull Request, it may be reviewed or labeled (or both) until
|
||||
the maintainers accept your change. Please be patient, it may take some time
|
||||
for this to happen!
|
||||
If your exercise doesn't contain any test, add `test = false` to the exercise metadata.
|
||||
But adding tests is recommended.
