This document describes the standards for modifying and maintaining the *squeekboard* project.
|
|
|
|
Development environment
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
*Squeekboard* is regularly built and tested on [the develpment environment](https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Development_Environment.html).
|
|
|
|
Recent Fedora releases are likely to be tested as well.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
On a Debian based system run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential
|
|
sudo apt-get -y build-dep .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For an explicit list of dependencies check the `Build-Depends` entry in the
|
|
[debian/control][] file.
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Most common testing is done in CI. Occasionally, and for each release, do perform manual tests to make sure that
|
|
|
|
- the application draws correctly
|
|
- it shows when relevant
|
|
- it changes layouts
|
|
- it changes views
|
|
|
|
Testing with an application:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python3 tests/entry.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Testing visibility:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b true
|
|
$ busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Testing layouts:
|
|
|
|
Layouts can be selected using the GNOME Settings application.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# define all available layouts. First one is currently selected.
|
|
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'de')]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Coding
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Code submitted should roughly match the style of surrounding code. Things that will *not* be accepted are ones that often lead to errors:
|
|
|
|
- skipping brackets `{}` after every `if()`, `else`, and similar
|
|
|
|
Bad example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
if (foo)
|
|
bar();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Good example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
if (foo) {
|
|
bar();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- mixing tabs and spaces in the same block of code (or config)
|
|
|
|
Strongly encouraged:
|
|
|
|
- don't make lines too long. If it's longer than ~80 characters, it's probably unreadable already, and the code needs to be clarified;
|
|
- put operators in the beginning of a continuation line
|
|
|
|
Bad example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
foobar = verylongexpression +
|
|
anotherverylongexpression +
|
|
yetanotherexpression;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Good example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
foobar = verylongexpression
|
|
+ anotherverylongexpression
|
|
+ yetanotherexpression;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- use `///` for documentation comments in front of definitions and `/*! ... */` for documentation comments in the beginning of modules (see [Rust doc-comments](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/comments.html#doc-comments))
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, check [PEP8](https://github.com/rust-dev-tools/fmt-rfcs/blob/master/guide/guide.md), the [kernel coding style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html), or the [Rust style guide](https://github.com/rust-dev-tools/fmt-rfcs/blob/master/guide/guide.md).

|
Maintenance
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Squeekboard uses Rust & Cargo for some of its dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Use the `cargo.sh` script for maintaining the Cargo part of the build. The script takes the usual Cargo commands, after the first 2 positionsl arguments: source directory, and output artifact. So, `cargo test` becomes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd build_dir
|
|
sh /source_path/cargo.sh '' test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cargo dependencies
|
|
|
|
Dependencies must be specified in `Cargo.toml` with 2 numbers: "major.minor". Since bugfix version number is meant to not affect the interface, this allows for safe updates.
|
|
|
|
`Cargo.lock` is used for remembering the revisions of all Rust dependencies. It should be updated often, preferably with each bugfix revision, and in a commit on its own:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd build_dir
|
|
sh /source_path/cargo.sh '' update
|
|
ninja test
|
|
```
