Building

Install Rust according to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

git clone [email protected]:rage/tmc-langs-rust.git
cd tmc-langs-rust
cargo build

If you have any troubles building the project, please do make an issue!

Testing

Install zstd (sudo apt install libzstd1). For Windows, download the appropriate archive from the releases, extract it and add the extracted directory to your PATH.

Install Node.js and npm. You may wish to use nvm.

Install Python 3. You may wish to use pyenv to manage different Python versions conveniently.

Install OpenJDK 17 (other versions may work as well) and ant.

Install .NET 8.

Install check (works with at least 0.14 and 0.15), valgrind and libsubunit0 (or equivalent for your distribution).

Install R (sudo apt install r-base), devtools by running either sudo apt install r-cran-devtools or R -e 'install.packages("devtools", repos="http://cran.r-project.org")' and tmc-r-tester by running R -e 'devtools::install_github("testmycode/tmc-r-tester/tmcRtestrunner", build = FALSE)'. You can set the R_LIBS_USER environment variable to control where R packages get installed, for example by setting export R_LIBS_USER="$HOME/.R"and export R_LIBS_SITE="$HOME/.R/site" in your .bashrc. If you install devtools with the R -e command, it has several dependencies that need to be installed. For Ubuntu, they can be installed with

sudo apt install libcurl-dev libxml2-dev libopenssl-dev gcc-c++ libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng-dev libtiff5-dev libjpeg-dev

With the dependencies installed, the tests can be run with

cargo test

Building and testing with Docker

The docker.sh script can be conveniently used to build and test the project. To build the binary and copy it out of the container to the project root, simply run docker.sh. To run tests, you can run docker.sh "cargo test", or docker.sh "cargo test -p tmc-langs-r" and so on. The script also supports the special argument interactive to launch into an interactive bash shell inside the Docker container.

Generating the TypeScript bindings

cargo test --features ts-rs generate_cli_bindings -- --ignored

The bindings are written to crates/tmc-langs-cli/bindings.d.ts.

Formatting and linting

Use cargo +nightly fmt and cargo clippy for formatting and linting. All crates should have the clippy lints print_stdout and print_stderr set to deny to allow the CLI to have total control over stdout and stderr. The CLI has one function where writing to stdout is allowed.

Logging

tmc-langs-rust uses the log library for logging. The log levels should roughly follow the guidelines below:

  • ERROR: When something unexpectedly went wrong. For example, if a file that should be of a known JSON format fails to parse.
  • WARN: When something unusual happens that may or may not be a problem. For example, if removing some file during cleanup fails.
  • INFO: Informational logs that can be used to follow the general control flow of the application.
  • DEBUG: Informational logs that can include things not necessarily relevant to the current operation.
  • TRACE: Fine-grained logs that follow everything happening very closely.

Updating dependencies

For convenience, a tool called cargo-outdated can be installed to automatically check all the crates in the workspace for outdated dependencies. You may want to call cargo update first to update dependencies to the latest semver-compatible version.

In addition to the dependencies listed in each crate's Cargo.toml, the project bundles a few external dependencies such as tmc-checkstyle-runner, tmc-junit-runner and so on. When updating dependencies, you may want to check whether these projects have been updated.

Versioning

tmc-langs-rust follows Rust-style semantic versioning, but only for the tmc-langs-cli and tmc-langs crates. Other crates are considered internal and may go through breaking changes in any release as long as the public API is unaffected. Try to keep the version in tmc-langs-cli's Cargo.toml up to date so that CLI's help message contains the right version.

Licensing

Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
