Installation

From the virtual environment that you use for Synapse, install this module with:

pip install path/to/synapse-super-invites

(If you run into issues, you may need to upgrade pip first, e.g. by running pip install --upgrade pip)

Then alter your homeserver configuration, adding to your modules configuration:

modules:
  - module: synapse_super_invites.SynapseSuperInvites
    config:
      generate_registration_tokens: true # default: false - whether or not the invite tokens are also usable as registration tokens
      enable_web: true # default: false - not yet ready web/html management app

Development

In a virtual environment with pip ≥ 21.1, run

pip install -e .[dev]

To run the unit tests, you can either use:

tox -e py

or

trial tests

To run the linters and mypy type checker, use ./scripts-dev/lint.sh.

Releasing

The exact steps for releasing will vary; but this is an approach taken by the Synapse developers (assuming a Unix-like shell):

1. Set a shell variable to the version you are releasing (this just makes subsequent steps easier):

   version=X.Y.Z
   

2. Update setup.cfg so that the version is correct.

3. Stage the changed files and commit.

   git add -u
   git commit -m v$version -n
   

4. Push your changes.

   git push
   

5. When ready, create a signed tag for the release:

   git tag -s v$version
   

   Base the tag message on the changelog.

6. Push the tag.

   git push origin tag v$version
   

7. If applicable: Create a release, based on the tag you just pushed, on GitHub or GitLab.

8. If applicable: Create a source distribution and upload it to PyPI:

   python -m build
   twine upload dist/synapse_super_invites-$version*
