# Contributing
Contributions are always welcome, no matter how large or small. Before
contributing, please read the
[code of conduct](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
## Setup local env
> Install yarn beforehand: https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install
To start developing on Babylon you only need to install its dependencies:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/babel/babylon
cd babylon
yarn
```
## Tests
### Running tests locally
To run a build, tests and perform lint/flow checks:
```bash
yarn test
```
If you only want to run the tests:
```bash
yarn run test-only
```
Note, this does not actually run a build, so you may have to call `yarn run build` after
performing any changes.
### Running one test
To run only a single test, add `"only": true` to the `options.json` inside any test fixture folder (you may have to create the file if it doesn't exist).
For example, let's say we want to only run the test for the [`test/fixtures/comments/basic/shebang-import`](https://github.com/babel/babylon/tree/7.0/test/fixtures/comments/basic/shebang-import) fixture.
Add `"only": true` to its `options.json`:
```json
{
"sourceType": "module",
"only": true
}
```
Then, run the tests using the same command as before:
```bash
yarn run test-only
```
### Checking code coverage locally
To generate code coverage, be sure to set `BABEL_ENV=test` so that code is instrumented during
the rollup build.
```bash
BABEL_ENV=test yarn run build && yarn run test-coverage
```
### Writing tests
Writing tests for Babylon is very
[similar to Babel](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#writing-tests).
Inside the `tests/fixtures` folder are categories/groupings of test fixtures (es2015, flow,
etc.). To add a test, create a folder under one of these groupings (or create a new one) with a
descriptive name, and add the following:
* Create an `actual.js` file that contains the code you want Babylon to parse.
* Add an `expected.json` file with the expected parser output. For added convenience, if
there is no `expected.json` present, the test runner will generate one for you.
## Cross repository changes
If you are making changes to Babylon which make it necessary to also change things in Babel
you will want to link both repositories together. This can be done by doing the following
(assuming you have both Babel and Babylon already checked out):
```bash
cd babylon/
yarn link
yarn run build
cd ../babel/
make bootstrap
yarn link babylon
cd packages/babel-core/
yarn link babylon
cd ../babel-template/
yarn link babylon
cd ../babel-traverse/
yarn link babylon
cd ../babel-generator/
yarn link babylon
cd ../babel-types/
yarn link babylon
cd ../..
make build
make test
```
From now on Babel will use your local checkout of Babylon for its tests.
