Missing documentation on how to set the project up locally #985

Closed bfontaine closed 1 year ago

bfontaine commented 1 year ago

Hello, After seeing @akx’s comment on https://github.com/python-babel/babel/issues/725#issuecomment-1435059954 I thought I would clone the project and see what I can do to fix the issue, but I haven’t found any documentation regarding the local setup.

I figured out you have to run make test-env and then activate the virtualenv or use ./test-env/bin/pybabel but I’m not sure if I need to do something else. make test doesn’t work on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS because there’s no python executable: it’s either python2 or python3 (#984), and even then it fails if you didn’t activate the virtualenv before running make test because it can’t find pytest. I activated the virtualenv and ran make test; it found pytest but failed on a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'freezegun'. I’m not sure if that’s normal and/or what step did I miss.

You'll have an easier time if you pip install tox, then run make tox-test. The tox configuration includes the dependencies required for testing.
