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.
