Contributing to HTTPie
######################
Bug reports and code and documentation patches are welcome. You can
help this project also by using the development version of HTTPie
and by reporting any bugs you might encounter.
1. Reporting bugs
=================
**It's important that you provide the full command argument list
as well as the output of the failing command.**
Use the ``--debug`` flag and copy&paste both the command and its output
to your bug report, e.g.:
.. code-block:: bash
$ http --debug [COMPLETE ARGUMENT LIST THAT TRIGGERS THE ERROR]
[COMPLETE OUTPUT]
2. Contributing Code and Docs
=============================
Before working on a new feature or a bug, please browse `existing issues`_
to see whether it has been previously discussed. If the change in question
is a bigger one, it's always good to discuss before your starting working on
it.

for any new features and bug fixes.
HTTPie uses `pytest`_ and `Tox`_ for testing.

******************
.. code-block:: bash
# Run all tests on the current Python interpreter
make test
# Run all tests on the current Python with coverage
make test-cover
# Run all tests in all of the supported and available Pythons via Tox
make test-tox
# Run all tests for code as well as packaging, etc.
make test-all
Running specific tests:
***********************
.. code-block:: bash
# Run specific tests on the current Python
py.test tests/test_uploads.py
py.test tests/test_uploads.py::TestMultipartFormDataFileUpload
py.test tests/test_uploads.py::TestMultipartFormDataFileUpload::test_upload_ok
# Run specific tests on the on all Pythons via Tox
tox -- tests/test_uploads.py --verbose
