Development

If you want to help develop brew tools you should install it into a virtual environment. The current version of brew-tools uses [Poetry](https://poetry.eustace.io/) to manage virtual environments and such.

In order to start, [install Poetry](https://poetry.eustace.io/docs/#installation) and change into the brew-tools directory. From there you can run

poetry install

which will create a virtual environment and install the dependencies. To run brew_tools in the developmeent environment it’s probably easiest to run

poetry shell

which will spawn a configured shell for the environment.

Tests can be run in this environment, or you can use

poetry run pytest tests

to run the tests without spawning a shell.

In addition to the tests it’s advisable to run a linter of the source as Travis will also check for linting errors. The linter command ignores some errors, so you can use this command to match the command run by Travis

poetry run flake8 src --ignore=E501,W504,W503
