Contributing to the CLI

Thanks for your interest in contributing to the AWS Copilot CLI! 💖

This document describes how to set up a development environment and submit your contributions. Please read it over and let us know if it's not up-to-date (or, even better, submit a PR with your corrections 😉).

Development setup

Environment

  • Make sure you are using Go 1.16 (go version).
  • Fork the repository.
  • Clone your forked repository locally.
  • We use Go Modules to manage dependencies, so you can develop outside of your $GOPATH.

Set upstream

From the repository root run:

git remote add upstream [email protected]:aws/copilot-cli

git fetch upstream

Building and testing

There are three different types of testing done on the AWS Copilot CLI.

Unit tests makes up the majority of the testing and new code should include unit tests. Ideally, these unit tests will be in the same package as the file they're testing and have full coverage (or as much is practical within a unit test). Unit tests shouldn't make any network calls.

Integration tests are rarer and test the CLI's integration with remote services, such as the file system, CloudFormation, or SSM. Our integration tests ensure that we can call these remote services and get the results we expect.

End to End tests run the CLI in a container and test the actual commands - including spinning and tearing down remote resources (like ECS clusters and VPCs). These tests are the most comprehensive and run on both Windows and Linux build fleets. Feel free to run these tests - but they require two AWS accounts to run in, so be mindful that resources will be created and destroyed. You'll need three named profiles: default, e2etestenv and e2eprodenv. Each e2e profile needs to be configured for a different AWS account and a different region than the other e2e profiles.

Below are the different commands which can be run in the root of the project directory.

  • Run make (This creates a standalone executable in the bin/local directory).
  • Run make test to run the unit tests.
  • Run make integ-test to run integration tests against your Default AWS profile. Warning - this will create AWS resources in your default profile.
  • Run make e2e to run end to end tests (tests that run commands locally). Warning - this will create AWS resources in your account. You'll need Docker running for these tests to run.

Generating mocks

Often times, it's helpful to generate mocks to make unit-testing easier and more focused. We strongly encourage this and encourage you to generate mocks when appropriate! In order to generate mocks:

  • Add the package your interface is in under the gen-mocks command in the Makefile.
  • run make gen-mocks

Adding new dependencies

In general, we discourage adding new dependencies to the AWS Copilot CLI. If there's a module you think the CLI could benefit from, first open a PR with your proposal. We'll evaluate the dependency and the use case and decide on the next steps. To evaluate if we need to add the dependency please take a look at https://research.swtch.com/deps.

Where should I start?

We're so excited you want to contribute to the CLI! We welcome all PRs and will try to get to them as soon as possible. The best place to start, though, is with filing an issue first. Filing an issue gives us some time to chat about the code you're keen on writing, and make sure that it's not already being worked on, or has already been discussed.

You can also check out our issues queue to see all the known issues - this is a really great place to start.

If you want to get your feet wet, check out issues tagged with good first issue. These issues are great for folks who are looking to get started, but not sure where to start 😁.

Contributing code

  • Please check the existing issues to see if your feedback has already been reported.

  • Let us know if you are interested in working on an issue by leaving a comment on the issue in GitHub. This helps avoid multiple people unknowingly working on the same issue.

  • If you would like to propose a new feature, please open an issue on GitHub with a detailed description. This enables us to collaborate on the feature design more easily and increases the chances that your feature request will be accepted.

  • New features should include full test coverage.

  • New files should include the standard license header.

  • All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.

Amazon Open Source Code of Conduct

This code of conduct provides guidance on participation in Amazon-managed open source communities, and outlines the process for reporting unacceptable behavior. As an organization and community, we are committed to providing an inclusive environment for everyone. Anyone violating this code of conduct may be removed and banned from the community.
