Hacking

Setting Up a Development Environment
------------------------------------
To get started hacking on mitmproxy, make sure you have Python_ 3.5.x or above with
virtualenv_ installed (you can find installation instructions for virtualenv
`here <http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`__). Then do the following:
To get started hacking on mitmproxy, please follow the `advanced installation`_ steps to install mitmproxy from source, but stop right before running ``pip3 install mitmproxy``. Instead, do the following:
.. code-block:: text
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libwebp-dev
git clone https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy.git

The *dev* script will create a `virtualenv`_ environment in a directory called
"venv3.5", and install all mandatory and optional dependencies into it. The
primary mitmproxy components - mitmproxy and pathod - are installed as
"editable", so any changes to the source in the repository will be reflected
live in the virtualenv.
To confirm that you're up and running, activate the virtualenv, and run the
mitmproxy test suite:
.. code-block:: text
. venv3.5/bin/activate # venv\Scripts\activate on Windows
py.test

The main executables for the project - ``mitmdump``, ``mitmproxy``,
``mitmweb``, ``pathod``, and ``pathoc`` - are all created within the
virtualenv. After activating the virtualenv, they will be on your $PATH, and
you can run them like any other command:
.. code-block:: text
. venv3.5/bin/activate # "venv\Scripts\activate" on Windows
mitmdump --version

For speedier testing, we recommend you run `py.test`_ directly on individual test files or folders:
.. code-block:: text
cd test/mitmproxy/addons
py.test --cov mitmproxy.addons.anticache --looponfail test_anticache.py
As py.test does not check the code style, you probably want to run ``tox -e lint`` before committing your changes.
Please ensure that all patches are accompanied by matching changes in the test
suite. The project tries to maintain 100% test coverage.
You can also use `tox` to run the full suite of tests, including a quick test
to check documentation and code linting.
The following tox environments are relevant for local testing:

tox -e py35 # runs all tests with Python 3.5
tox -e docs # runs a does-it-compile check on the documentation
tox -e lint # runs the linter for coding style checks
