CI

Most of D2's CI is open sourced in its own repository. You can find commands in the Github workflows. E.g. run ./make.sh fmt to run the formatter. Please make sure all CI is passing for any PRs.

Flow

The simplified D2 flow at a package level looks like:

D2 flow

Logistics

  • D2 uses Issues as TODOs. No auto-closing on staleness.
  • Branch off master.
  • Prefix pull request titles with a short descriptor of the domain, e.g. d2renderer: Add x.
  • If there's an Issue related, include it by adding "[one-word] #[issue]", e.g. "Fixes #123" somewhere in the description.
  • Whenever possible and relevant, include a screenshot or screen-recording.

Dev

Content

Please choose an Issue with a "TODO" label. If you'd like to propose new functionality or change to current functionality, please create an Issue first with a proposal. When you start work on an Issue, please leave a comment so others know that it's being worked on.

Tests

All code changes must include tests. D2 mostly has functional tests, and uses diff as a framework that gives Git-style comparisons of expected vs actual output for each stage. There are ample examples in each package of this -- try changing some test and run it to see.

With the exception of changes to the renderer, all code should include a package-specific test. If it's a visual change, an e2e test should accompany.

If you're testing labels and strings, it's encouraged to use 1-letter strings (x) in small functional tests to minimally pinpoint issues. If you are testing something that exercises variations in strings, or want to mimic more realistic diagram text, it's encouraged you generate random strings and words from fortune. It gives a good range of the English language. Sometimes it gives controversial sentences -- don't use those.

Script to generate one line of random text:

ipsum1() {
  fortune | head -n1 | sed 's/^ *//;s/ *$//' | tr -d '\n' | tee /dev/stderr | pbcopy
}

Running tests

Run: ./ci/test.sh

CI runs tests with -race to catch potential race conditions. It's much slower, but if your machine can run it locally, you can do so with ./make.sh race.

Chaos tests

D2 has chaos tests which produce random configurations of diagrams. It can be helpful to run a few iterations (N~=100) to spot cover your manual tests.

D2_CHAOS_MAXI=100 D2_CHAOS_N=100 ./ci/test.sh ./d2chaos

Documentation

The code itself should be documented as appropriate with Go-style comments. No rules here, GetX() doesn't need a // GetX gets X.

If it's some new functionality, please submit a pull request to document it in the language docs: https://github.com/terrastruct/d2-docs.
