To set up an initial development environment:
git clone https://github.com/canonical/charmcraft.git
cd charmcraft
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt -e .
You will need a copy of ruff installed. On many Linux distributions, you
can install ruff with:
sudo snap install ruff
Otherwise, you can install ruff in your virtual environment with:
pip install ruff
Make changes as appropriate. Some existing ideas are in the Github Issues
To test locally:
CHARMCRAFT_DEVELOPER=1 python -m charmcraft
When you're done, make sure you run the tests.
You can do so with
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
./run_tests
