Filing an Issue

If you are trying to use Kompact and run into an issue; please file an issue. When filing an issue, do your best to be as specific as possible. Include the version of Rust you are using (rustc --version) and your operating system and version. The faster we can reproduce your issue, the faster we can fix it for you!

Submitting a PR

Before you submit your pull request, check that you have completed all of the steps mentioned in the pull request template. Link the issue that your pull request is responding to, if any, and format your code using rustfmt.

Configuring rustfmt

Before submitting code in a PR, make sure that you have formatted the codebase using rustfmt. rustfmt is a tool for formatting Rust code, which helps keep style consistent across the project. If you have not used rustfmt before, it is not too difficult.

If you have not already configured rustfmt for the nightly toolchain, it can be done using the following steps:

1. Use Nightly Toolchain

Use the rustup override command to make sure that you are using the nightly toolchain. Run this command in the Kompact root directory you cloned.

rustup override set nightly

2. Add the rustfmt component

Install the most recent version of rustfmt using this command:

rustup component add rustfmt-preview --toolchain nightly

3. Running rustfmt

To run rustfmt, use this command:

cargo +nightly fmt

Kompact's configuration for rustfmt is always linked to a specific nightly. This may cause your formatting to fail for one of two reasons:

  1. Your nightly is too old. In that case, please use the most recent nightly with rustfmt support.
  2. Your nightly is newer than the last master commit of the rustfmt.toml. In that case feel free to update the version number in that file and include the change in your PR.

IDE Configuration files

Machine specific configuration files may be generaged by your IDE while working on the project. Please make sure to add these files to either a global or Kompact's local .gitignore file, so that they are kept from accidentally being commited to the project.

Some examples of these files are the .idea folder created by JetBrains products (WebStorm, IntelliJ, etc) as well as .vscode created by Visual Studio Code for workspace specific settings.
