Developer information

Development environment

You can get the latest development master branch with:

git clone https://github.com/dib-lab/sourmash.git

To install all of the necessary dependencies, do:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Briefly, we use py.test for testing, and coverage for code coverage analysis.

We suggest working on sourmash in a virtualenv; e.g. from within the sourmash clone directory, you can do:

python -m virtualenv dev
. dev/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Automated tests and code coverage calculation

We use Travis for continuous integration.

Code coverage calculation is enabled (on Linux only) by running make coverage. This recompiles the C++ extension without optimization and with coverage configured. See setup.py for more information on this; the environment variable SOURMASH_COVERAGE controls whether the C++ extension is compiled with code coverage analysis enabled.

Code coverage can be viewed interactively at codecov.io.
