General guidelines for contributing to node-sqlite3

Install Help

If you've landed here due to a failed install of node-sqlite3 then feel free to create a new issue to ask for help. The most likely problem is that we do not yet provide pre-built binaries for your particular platform and so the node-sqlite3 install attempted a source compile but failed because you are missing the dependencies for node-gyp. But please provide as much detail on your problem as possible and we'll try to help. Please include:

• terminal logs of failed install (preferably from running npm install sqlite3 --loglevel=info)
• node-sqlite3 version you tried to install
• node version you are running
• operating system and architecture you are running, e.g. Windows 7 64 bit.

Developing / Pre-release

Create a milestone for the next release on github. If all anticipated changes are back compatible then a patch release is in order. If minor API changes are needed then a minor release is in order. And a major bump is warranted if major API changes are needed.

Assign tickets and pull requests you are working to the milestone you created.

Releasing

To release a new version:

1) Ensure tests are passing

Before considering a release all the tests need to be passing on appveyor and travis.

2) Bump commit

Bump the version in package.json like 77d51d5785

What if you already committed the package.json bump and you have no changes to commit but want to publish binaries? In this case you can do:

git commit --allow-empty -m "[publish binary]"

3) Ensure binaries built

Check the travis and appveyor pages to ensure they are all green as an indication that the [publish binary] command worked.

If you need to republish binaries you can do this with the command below, however this should not be a common thing for you to do!

git commit --allow-empty -m "[republish binary]"

Note: NEVER republish binaries for an existing released version.

7) Officially release

An official release requires:

• Updating the CHANGELOG.md
• Create and push github tag like git tag v3.1.1 -m "v3.1.1" && git push --tags
• Ensure you have a clean checkout (no extra files in your check that are not known by git). You need to be careful, for instance, to avoid a large accidental file being packaged by npm. You can get a view of what npm will publish by running make testpack
• Fully rebuild and ensure install from binary works: make clean && npm install --fallback-to-build=false
• Then publish the module to npm repositories by running npm publish
