## Setting up a development environment
Please see our documentation on

- [Testing JupyterHub and linting code](https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing/tests.html)
JupyterHub requires Python >= 3.5 and nodejs.
As a Python project, a development install of JupyterHub follows standard practices for the basics (steps 1-2).
1. clone the repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub
```
2. do a development install with pip
```bash
cd jupyterhub
python3 -m pip install --editable .
```
3. install the development requirements,
which include things like testing tools
```bash
python3 -m pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
```
4. install configurable-http-proxy with npm:
```bash
npm install -g configurable-http-proxy
```
5. set up pre-commit hooks for automatic code formatting, etc.
```bash
pre-commit install
```
You can also invoke the pre-commit hook manually at any time with
```bash
pre-commit run
```
## Contributing
JupyterHub has adopted automatic code formatting so you shouldn't
need to worry too much about your code style.
As long as your code is valid,
the pre-commit hook should take care of how it should look.
You can invoke the pre-commit hook by hand at any time with:
```bash
pre-commit run
```
which should run any autoformatting on your code
and tell you about any errors it couldn't fix automatically.
You may also install [black integration](https://github.com/psf/black#editor-integration)
into your text editor to format code automatically.
If you have already committed files before setting up the pre-commit
hook with `pre-commit install`, you can fix everything up using
`pre-commit run --all-files`. You need to make the fixing commit
yourself after that.
## Testing
It's a good idea to write tests to exercise any new features,
or that trigger any bugs that you have fixed to catch regressions.
You can run the tests with:
```bash
pytest -v
```
in the repo directory. If you want to just run certain tests,
check out the [pytest docs](https://pytest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html)
for how pytest can be called.
For instance, to test only spawner-related things in the REST API:
```bash
pytest -v -k spawn jupyterhub/tests/test_api.py
```
The tests live in `jupyterhub/tests` and are organized roughly into:
1. `test_api.py` tests the REST API
2. `test_pages.py` tests loading the HTML pages
and other collections of tests for different components.
When writing a new test, there should usually be a test of
similar functionality already written and related tests should
be added nearby.
The fixtures live in `jupyterhub/tests/conftest.py`. There are
fixtures that can be used for JupyterHub components, such as:
- `app`: an instance of JupyterHub with mocked parts
- `auth_state_enabled`: enables persisting auth_state (like authentication tokens)
- `db`: a sqlite in-memory DB session
- `io_loop`: a Tornado event loop
- `event_loop`: a new asyncio event loop
- `user`: creates a new temporary user
- `admin_user`: creates a new temporary admin user
- single user servers
- `cleanup_after`: allows cleanup of single user servers between tests
- mocked service
- `MockServiceSpawner`: a spawner that mocks services for testing with a short poll interval
- `mockservice`: mocked service with no external service url
- `mockservice_url`: mocked service with a url to test external services
And fixtures to add functionality or spawning behavior:
- `admin_access`: grants admin access
- `no_patience`: sets slow-spawning timeouts to zero
- `slow_spawn`: enables the SlowSpawner (a spawner that takes a few seconds to start)
- `never_spawn`: enables the NeverSpawner (a spawner that will never start)
- `bad_spawn`: enables the BadSpawner (a spawner that fails immediately)
- `slow_bad_spawn`: enables the SlowBadSpawner (a spawner that fails after a short delay)
To read more about fixtures check out the
[pytest docs](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/fixture.html)
for how to use the existing fixtures, and how to create new ones.
