Contribution guide

We love contributions. This guide is for all folks who want to make taskiq better together. We have several rules for contributors:

• Please do not add malware.
• Please make sure that your request solves the problem.

If you struggle with something or feel frustrated, you either create an issue, create a discussions. page or publish a draft PR and ask your question in the description.

We have lots of tests in CI. But since CI runs from first-time contributors should be approved, you better test locally. It just takes less time to prepare PR for merging.

Setting up environment

We use uv for managing dependencies. To install it, please follow the official guide in documentation.

After you have cloned the taskiq repo, install dependencies using this command:

uv sync --all-extras

Linting

We have pre-commit configured with all our settings. We highly recommend you to install it as a git hook using pre-commit install command.

But even without installation, you can run all lints manually:

pre-commit run -a

Testing

You can run pytest without any parameters and it will do the thing.

pytest

If you want to speedup testings, you can run it with -n option from pytest-xdist to run tests in parallel.

pytest -n 2

Also we use tox to test against different environments. You can publish a PR to run pytest with different python versions, but if you want to do it locally, just run tox command.

tox

Working with documentation

For documentation we use VuePress 2. To run documentation locally, use steps below.

First of all, install dependencies for documentation. We recommend to use pnpm for managing dependencies, but package.json is compatible with npm and bun for example as well:

pnpm i

After that, you can run documentation server with hot-reloading using:

pnpm docs:dev

If you want to check how documentation looks like in production mode, you can build it and then serve using:

pnpm docs:build
pnpm docs:serve
