Reporting possible bugs and issues¶
It is natural that you might find something that Databasez should support or even experience some sorte of unexpected behaviour that needs addressing.
The way we love doing things is very simple, contributions should start out with a discussion. The potential bugs shall be raised as "Potential Issue" in the discussions, the feature requests may be raised as "Ideas".
We can then decide if the discussion needs to be escalated into an "Issue" or not.
When reporting something you should always try to:
- Be as more descriptive as possible
- Provide as much evidence as you can, something like:
- OS platform
- Python version
- Installed dependencies
- Code snippets
- Tracebacks
Avoid putting examples extremely complex to understand and read. Simplify the examples as much as possible to make it clear to understand and get the required help.

Releasing¶
This section is for the maintainers of Databasez
.
Building the Databasez for release¶
Before releasing a new package into production some considerations need to be taken into account.
-
Changelog
- Like many projects, we follow the format from keepchangelog.
- Compare
main
with the release tag and list of the entries that are of interest to the users of the framework.- What must go in the changelog? added, changed, removed or deprecated features and the bug fixes.
- What is should not go in the changelog? Documentation changes, tests or anything not specified in the point above.
- Make sure the order of the entries are sorted by importance.
- Keep it simple.
-
Version bump
- The version should be in
__init__.py
of the main package.
- The version should be in
Releasing¶
Once the release
PR is merged, create a new release
that includes:
Example:
There will be a release of the version 0.2.3
, this is what it should include.
- Release title:
Version 0.2.3
. - Tag:
0.2.3
. - The description should be copied from the changelog.
Once the release is created, it should automatically upload the new version to PyPI. If something
does not work with PyPI the release can be done by running scripts/release
.
