Development

  • Requires Python 3.10+.
  • Install the dev toolchain: 
    pip install -r dev_requirements.txt
pip install -e .
  • Run the unit smoke tests: 
    python ./tests/unit_test/start/start_front_engine.py
python ./tests/unit_test/start/extend_front_engine.py
  • Contributions and pull requests are welcome!

Continuous Integration & Release

This repository ships two GitHub Actions workflows:

Workflow Trigger Purpose
CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) Push / PR to main or dev, daily cron Matrix smoke test across Python 3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12 on Windows
Release (.github/workflows/release.yml) A pull request is merged into main (or manual dispatch) Auto-bumps the version in stable.toml/pyproject.toml, commits the bump back to main, swaps stable.toml → pyproject.toml, builds sdist + wheel, uploads to PyPI as frontengine via twine, creates a GitHub release tagged v<version>

Publishing only happens on merge to main — pushing to dev runs CI but never publishes. On merge, the workflow automatically bumps the patch segment of the version (configurable via manual dispatch: patch / minor / major), commits the bump back to main with [skip ci], then builds, uploads, and releases under the new version. Both the PyPI upload and the GitHub release see the bumped version, not the previous one.

Cutting a new release

  1. Merge a pull request into main — the patch version bumps automatically.
  2. That's it. PyPI publish and GitHub release happen in one workflow run.

For a minor or major bump, trigger the workflow manually via Actions → Release → Run workflow and pick the bump segment. That path also works when you need to re-run a failed publish without a new merge.

Required repository secrets

Secret Used by Contents
PYPI_API_TOKEN release.yml A PyPI API token scoped to the frontengine project

The workflow uses __token__ as the twine username, so only the token itself needs to be stored.
