Hijacking this thread, sorry.
Just wanted to say thank you Jan for such an excellent email. I have been
lurking on dev@ for years and have always been pretty intimidated. This has
finally got me to peek through the source again.
Thanks for such a wonderful attitude!

Re: New contributor need help
Posted by Jan Lehnardt <ja...@apache.org>.
Heya Huyssen,
sorry for being a little obtuse here, but you’ve stumbled on one of the shortcomings of the CouchDB project: it is not easy to get new contributors started.
We are aware of this and we plan to work on this soon-ish, but that won’t help you now ;)
That said:
CouchDB generally can be separated in three components:
- The Erlang Core (https://github.com/apache/couchdb)
- The JavaScript Test Suite (https://github.com/apache/couchdb/tree/master/test/javascript)
- The Fauxton Web UI (HTML/CSS/JS: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton)
And there are a few sub-projects:
- couchdb-nano (a Node.js client): https://github.com/apache/couchdb-nano
- couchdb-docker (Docker images): https://github.com/klaemo/docker-couchdb
The Erlang Core requires knowledge in Erlang. If you are up for learning Erlang, I’d recommend to get started with http://learnyousomeerlang.com/content — it’s a great read and a fun language to learn.
The JavaScript Test Suite requires knowledge in (drumroll): JavaScript, and a bit of how it is set up:
In CouchDB master you can run it like this:
(See INTSALL.Unix.md and README-DEV.rst to get started)
./configure -c --disable-fauxton --disable-docs
make
make javascript
And you can run individual tests like this:
./configure -c --disable-fauxton --disable-docs
make
./dev/run -n 1 --with-admin-party-please
# new terminal window
./test/javascript/run testname
The tests live in test/javascript/tests/*.js
When you run `make javascript`, you might see some errors (ignore the attachment one), and tests marked with TODO, these would be worth diving into.
For Fauxton, please see the README at: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton
* * *
In addition, there are a number of issues on our bug tracker that we’ve marked as beginner friendly: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1098?jql=project%20%3D%20COUCHDB%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open%20AND%20cf%5B12310270%5D%20%3D%20%22New%20Contributors%20Level%20(Easy)%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC (I hope this link works)
In addition addition, there are many tickets with issue reports that have no comments on them yet. One useful thing to do would be to check if you can reproduce the issue, and work on a way to show how this can be reproduced.
Hope this helps!
Best
Jan

Hello Joan,
as Jan recognized, it was the wrong tarball.
I will have a closer look on the more recent ones.
Thank you for your advice, thought that they have been disabled to pass the
test.
Best,
Harald

Hi Harald,
While your point is taken - we need better documentation on how to get
new developers on board - I'd like to take issue with you saying that
some tests are failing.
As far as I know, the JavaScript tests right now 100% pass on both
Linux and Windows for me and for the rest of the core development team.
You run these by typing
$ make all javascript (Linux)
or
C:\relax\couchdb> make -f Makefile.win all javascript
and look for all the <pass> statements (hopefully!)
If you have a failing test or tests, could you please post which ones
are failing here, and include a link to the log of your test output?
(Preferably use a site like https://paste.apache.org/ or
http://gist.github.com instead of pasting your entire logfile to the
mailing list.)
We can then help direct you at the JS file(s) you need to review to
understand what may be wrong.
And as Jan said, please be sure you have the latest tarball to look at,
or if you know how to use git, cloned from our apache/couchdb repository
(master branch). We've recently fixed a couple of failing tests and you
may be seeing issues we've already resolved.
Best,
Joan Touzet

I get that part, but that’s not how first-contributor issues work, they need clear 1. 2. 3. instructions, not some handwaving at a problem area ;)
We’ve got a lot to do in this area, but I’ve personally been putting it off in favour of getting 2.0 out, which is still a bit of work.
We’ve been doing some good work on the Hoodie project that I’d like to bring over after we’ve shipped 2.0 to increase contributions. We’ve written up some of our findings and procedures here: http://hood.ie/blog/starter-issues.html (it works exceptionally well, that’s why I want to bring these over).
If anyone wants to get started on this, feel free :)
Best
Jan

Because I know there are some issues, and if there would be some help, I
would also go hands-on, too.
This is your chance to have two developers staffed on, fixing the
javascript issues.

then I’m confused as to why you thought this was a good first-contributor issue?

Re: New contributor need help
Posted by Harald Kisch <ha...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jan,
as far as I know, the JavaScript tests have been available to verify if the
http-api is working correctly after the installation of CouchDB. Since
version 1.6.1 there is only a verify install CTA in
http://localhost:5984/_utils available which does'nt execute the tests
explicitly. If I look into the JavaScript Test Folders I can find any of
the tests which are testing similar http-api stuff which i did also expect
on localhost:5984/_utils.
There is no README in the JavaScript folder.
I would expect a Node.js API with Mocha, Sinon, Chai, Karma,.. Setup in
place for the JavaScript tests, but no Node.js is used for javascript
tests, instead there is a makefile, ruby, python setup which seems that I
need to execute the make procedures first. The configure script gives me
only one line, no response if it is finished or not. Make install is
missing completely instead I get the response to copy recursively
rel/couchdb to my /usr/local/lib folder? So nothing to make? All
executables are already in place? I thought that I have the source codes.
Very confusing and a little frustrating. I questioning me if I really have
the source code to build CouchDB from source. If I want to start coding on
the CouchDB REST-API or want to test a new http-handler based on erlang
plugin I would like to build the sources first so that I can execute the
tests for my current build at the couchdb.uri on http://127.0.0.1:15984/
but it seems to be no advice how to do so.
I see that the makefile has a javascript section which can be executed with
'make javascript', but it confuses me to see, that the tests are copied in
the fauxton directory at 'src/fauxton/dist/release/test' and then I am lost
because I do not want to use fauxton.
I also see that the tests are executed by the python script run with:
run -n 1 -q --with-admin-party-please test/javascript/run $(suites)
I am only a JavaScript Frontend Developer (Angular, React, Node, etc.) with
some experience in C and C++ many years ago. I would also appreciate to
have some guidelines how to work with this kind of javascript test
environment based on python, ruby and erlang.
Kind Regards
Harald

Heya Harald,
could you do a quick write up on how to run the tests? Not sure this would be useful without, for a new contributor.
Also, please use the latest build from http://couchdb.apache.org/release-candidate/2.0/ or git master, thanks! :)

Hi Huyssen,
there are some Issues with the JavaScript Tests in the Source Code at
https://home.apache.org/~jan/couchdb/2.0/RC/apache-couchdb-2.0.0-92c95de.tar.gz
You can try to fix them.
Kind Regards
