Application

Post by bosmer »

I would like to help on the project. I have a decent bit of C++ experience, but no experience in computer science industry yet. I also use Arch Linux.

I've read the developer reference, forked the repository on GitLab, and currently building the latest version.

I understand that there aren't really any beginner-friendly bugs that haven't already been fixed. I also understand that a majority of the development work that is still in progress is relevant to the OpenMW-CS, which is mainly GUI development with Qt. I also understand that making PRs of works in progress is encouraged for feedback, so I will try to do that.

I'm still happy to be here and ready to get started.

Hi. There isn't some kind of initiation ritual, but here are some sloppy notes before you get started with your potential first MR:
1. If you have fixed a bug or implemented a feature which have a tracker page, add an entry to CHANGELOG.md for the respective issue.
2. If the thing you have resolved doesn't have a page and it's especially notable (has an apparent effect in the game of some degree), you'll most likely want to file an issue on the tracker and do point 1 then.
3. Feel free to leave your trace in the history add your nickname to AUTHORS.md file in your first contribution.
4. You can use C++11, try to stick to stuff that GCC 5.1 supports.
5. There are most likely still some low-hanging fruits on the tracker on both the editor's and the engine's side. I don't like any of the editor's fruits though.

Is there any good documentation on how to start running the tests using Gtest and Gmock?

Edit:
Oops, nevermind. I've realized that you use Arch Linux.

I've just added "-t" switch to before_script.msvc.sh, which should allow you to run openmw_unit_tests on Windows. openmw_unit_tests should appear as just another project in Visual Studio solution.

We don't have anything explicity over testing, but we do have our travis-ci and appveyor builds running tests on the result.

For linux, here are the following related files:
https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/m ... gletest.sh
^-- to build google's testharness

https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/m ... t.linux.sh
^-- how to configure openmw's cmake to run the tests

The resulting binary created after you run make is then run:
https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/m ... is.yml#L94
./openmw_test_suite
So the openmw_test_suite 'project' is our test suite.

I hope this helps!
