Thank you for your interest in contributing to fsnotify! We try to review and
merge PRs in a reasonable timeframe, but please be aware that:
- To avoid "wasted" work, please discus changes on the issue tracker first. You
can just send PRs, but they may end up being rejected for one reason or the
other.
- fsnotify is a cross-platform library, and changes must work reasonably well on
all supported platforms.
- Changes will need to be compatible; old code should still compile, and the
runtime behaviour can't change in ways that are likely to lead to problems for
users.
Testing
-------
Just `go test ./...` runs all the tests; the CI runs this on all supported
platforms. Testing different platforms locally can be done with something like
[goon] or [Vagrant], but this isn't super-easy to set up at the moment.
Use the `-short` flag to make the "stress test" run faster.
