Tips for committing

Prefer & run short tests

Ideally, each test should be parallel i.e. not use any any shared state and run as fast as possible.

Consider using synctest to make the tests not timing dependent. If it is still not possible then please add this clause to your tests to skip them if -short is passed:

if testing.Short() {
	t.Skip()
}

We have a suite of tests that can run very quickly. It's recommended to run them on every commit. Do that with:

make test-local-short

If you want to run it automatically before each commit then we provide pre-commit hooks for that.

After cloning the repository, run git config core.hooksPath hooks to use hooks as the directory where hooks are stored.
