Getting started

Fork the repo on github. Clone the fork to your home directory.

Install cask. Run make dist to ensure correct cask functionality.

Run make test to ensure a correct baseline.

Until we institute a virtualenv for the required testing software (jupyter, R, matplotlib, etc.), out-of-the-box make test remains problematic.

Remove the MELPA-installed EIN by deleting the package directory (on my system, it's ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ein-20190122.1341) or running M-x package-delete.

In your init.el or .emacs, add the following:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs-ipython-notebook/lisp")
(load "ein-autoloads")

Now whatever changes you make to the repo will be reflected in new emacs instances.

Dev tools

M-x ein:dev-start-debug activates full logging and backtrace on error.

Quick sanity checking

make quick runs a syntax check and the unit tests. It is far quicker than the laborious make test.

Unit tests

Located in ~/emacs-ipython-notebook/test.

Integration tests

If you add a feature, we encourage writing an integration test.

cask exec ecukes is the bulk of make test. Ecukes is our friend and guardian. We follow its opinionated file structure in ~/emacs-ipython-notebook/features.

To run say just the login tests, cask exec ecukes --tags "@login".
