# Contributing to toml++
|
||
|
||
Contributions are very welcome! Either by [reporting issues] or submitting pull requests.
|
||
If you wish to submit a PR, please be aware that:
|
||
|
||
- The single-header file `toml.hpp` is generated by a script; make your changes in the files in
|
||
`include`, **not** in `toml.hpp`.
|
||
- Your changes should compile warning-free on at least one of:
|
||
- GCC 8 or higher
|
||
- Clang 8 or higher
|
||
- MSVC 19.2X (Visual Studio 2019) or higher
|
||
- You should regenerate the single-header file as part of your PR (a CI check will fail if you don't).
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
## Regenerating toml.hpp
|
||
|
||
1. Make your changes as necessary
|
||
- If you've added a new header file that isn't going to be transitively included by one of the
|
||
others, add an include directive to `include/toml++/toml.h`
|
||
2. Install the prerequisite python packages: `pip3 install -r tools/requirements.txt`
|
||
3. Run `tools/generate_single_header.py`
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Building and running the tests
|
||
|
||
Testing is done using [Catch2].
|
||
|
||
### Testing on Windows with Visual Studio
|
||
|
||
Install [Visual Studio] and [Test Adapter for Catch2], then open `toml++.sln` and build the
|
||
projects in the `tests` solution folder. Visual Studio's Test Explorer should pick these up and
|
||
allow you to run the tests directly.
|
||
|
||
If test discovery fails you can usually fix it by enabling
|
||
`Auto Detect runsettings Files` (settings gear icon > `Configure Run Settings`).
|
||
|
||
### Testing on Linux (and WSL)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# install ninja, meson, locales (first time only)
|
||
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y locales python3 python3-pip ninja-build
|
||
sudo pip3 install meson
|
||
sudo locale-gen 'en_US.utf8' \
|
||
'ja_JP.utf8' \
|
||
'de_DE.utf8' \
|
||
'it_IT.utf8' \
|
||
'tr_TR.utf8' \
|
||
'fi_FI.utf8' \
|
||
'fr_FR.utf8' \
|
||
'zh_CN.utf8'
|
||
|
||
# create the build configs (first time only)
|
||
meson setup build-debug --buildtype=debug -Ddevel=true
|
||
meson setup build-release --buildtype=release -Ddevel=true
|
||
|
||
# run the tests
|
||
cd build-debug && ninja && ninja test \
|
||
&& cd ../build-release && ninja && ninja test \
|
||
&& cd ..
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ Pass `-Duse_vendored_libs=false` to Meson if you wish to use the system-installed version
|
||
> of Catch2 rather than the vendored one.
|
||

||
|
||
## Testing with the [toml-test] suite
|
||
|
||
As an optional extra you may wish to test against the 'official' test TOML test suite, [BurntSushi/toml-test]. See the
|
||
instructions at [toml-test/README](./toml-test/README.md). Note that the toml++ tests already consume tests from the
|
||
offical suite via a C++ code-generation script so you are not expected to take this extra step as part of contributing
|
||
to the library.
