# VisualEditor Code Guidelines
# Contributing to VisualEditor
Thank you for helping us develop VisualEditor!
This document describes how to report bugs, set up your development
environment, run tests, and build documentation. It also provides the coding
conventions we use in the project.
## Bug reports
Please report bugs to [bugzilla.wikimedia.org](https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=VisualEditor&component=General)
using the `VisualEditor` product. Feel free to use the `General`
component if you don't know where else your bug might belong. Don't
worry about specifying version, severity, hardware, or OS.
## Running tests
VisualEditor's build scripts use the [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) task runner.
To install it make sure you have [node and npm](http://nodejs.org/download/)
installed, then run:
```sh
# Install Grunt command-line utility
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
# Install VisualEditor's dev dependencies
$ npm install
```
To run the tests, use:
```sh
$ grunt test
```
For other grunt tasks, see:
```sh
$ grunt --help
```
To run the tests in a web browser, make sure your MediaWiki install is
[configured](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:JavaScript_unit_testing) to
allow running of tests. Set in `LocalSettings.php`:
```php
// https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:JavaScript_unit_testing
$wgEnableJavaScriptTest = true;
```
Then open `http://URL_OF_MEDIAWIKI/index.php/Special:JavaScriptTest/qunit`
(for example, <http://localhost/w/index.php/Special:JavaScriptTest/qunit>).
## Building documentation
VisualEditor uses [JSDuck](https://github.com/senchalabs/jsduck) to process
documentation comments embedded in the code. To build the documentation, you
will need `ruby`, `gem`, and `jsduck` installed.
### Installing ruby and gem
You're mostly on your own here, but we can give some hints for Mac OS X.
##### Installing Gem in Mac OS X
Ruby ships with OSX but may be outdated. Use [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/):
```sh
$ brew install ruby
```
If you've never used `gem` before, don't forget to add the gem's bin to your
`PATH` ([howto](http://stackoverflow.com/a/14138490/319266)).
### Installing jsduck
Once you have gem, installing [JSDuck](https://github.com/senchalabs/jsduck) is easy:
```sh
$ gem install --user-install jsduck --version '< 5'
```
You need to make sure that you are using jsduck 4.x, as jsduck 5.x introduced
incompatible changes to custom tags.
### Running jsduck
Creating the documentation is easy:
```sh
$ cd VisualEditor
$ .docs/generate.sh
```
You may need to set `MW_INSTALL_PATH` in your environment to the location of
your mediawiki installation if VisualEditor is not checked out directly in the
mediawiki extensions folder (for example, if you're using a symlink).
The generated documentation is in the `docs/` subdirectory. View the
documentation at
`http://URL_OF_MEDIAWIKI/extensions/VisualEditor/docs/`
(for example, <http://localhost/w/extensions/VisualEditor/docs>).
Note that `jsduck` doesn't support browsing vis the `file:` protocol.
## VisualEditor Code Guidelines
We inherit the code structure (about whitespace, naming and comments) conventions
from MediaWiki. See [Manual:Coding conventions/JavaScript#Code structure](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions/JavaScript#Code_structure) on mediawiki.org.

### Generate documentation
#### Gem (Mac OS X)
Ruby ships with OSX but may be outdated. Use [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/):
```
$ brew install ruby
```

$ gem install jsduck

#### Run

$ cd VisualEditor
$ .docs/generate.sh
# open http://localhost/VisualEditor/docs/
