Please note that the official docs at https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/shipping-method-api/ contain partially outdated information. For more information, see wiki at https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Shipping-Method-API or dive directly into the source using GitHub search to find up-to-date examples on how to extend the shipping method class.
This project has a .travis-ci.yml definition which can be used by anybody. Just follow these steps:
- Create an account at Travis-CI.org by logging in with your Github.com account.
- Make sure you have a fork of this repository in your own Github.com account.
- Open the Travis-CI.org settings page and click "Sync repositories"
- Search for
woo-pakettikauppain your repository list and enable automatic testing for the repository it.
- Initially the page
https://travis-ci.org/<username>/woo-pakettikauppawill be empty, but as soon as you push your first commit Travis-CI will run the first built. You can also manually trigger a build to get it started.
You can run the tests locally with by using the install-tests.sh & run-tests.sh. Note that these scripts are destructive, so you should probably run them in a virtual environment such as Vagrant or Docker. Assuming you're using Seravo/wordpress:
docker-compose exec wordpress bash
cd /data/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/woo-pakettikauppa/bin
# do not run ./install-wp-tests.sh yourself
./install-local-tests.sh
./run-local-tests.sh
If you add new translatable strings or edit existing once, you have to regenerate woo-pakettikauppa.pot under core/languages. Easiest way to do it is use wp-cli:
wp i18n make-pot . core/languages/woo-pakettikauppa.pot
If wp-cli version is less than 2.3, the order of the strings will change and existing translations will be "lost", but you can use msgcat to merge two .po files together.
First, rename the old .po file. After that, using Poedit, generate a new .po using file from the new .pot, it can be blank. Then do the merge:
cd core/languages
msgcat oldrenamed.po woo-pakettikauppa-fi.po -o woo-pakettikauppa-fi.po
Then generate the .mo file from the .po file, using Poedit.
Rinse & repeat for all languages.
All bugfixes and new features are developed on separate git branches. Work-in-progress can be marked by appending "WIP:" to the commit message or the pull request title. Once a feature is ready, a pull request is opened for comments and review. Pull requests should not include any updates to the changelog or version number, as those are done separately at release time to match the actual release. Making a pull request implies that comments and review are requested, so wait at least 24h after making a new PR so others have time to respond.
Very small bugfixes that don't need any reviews (e.g. fixing spelling errors) can be applied directly on master. Note that all commits must pass CI, so Travis-CI needs to see a commit on some branch first and Github needs to register that commit as passing CI. Then those commits can be merged directly on master by a developer who has write access to master, without making a separate pull request on Github.
As this is a WordPress plugin, there can only be one version released. Thus there are no separate maintenance release branches (once 2.1.x has been released, the next release must be 2.1.y or higher, there cannot be any maintenance releases for 2.0.x).
All improvements on land on master, and when the current master is tested and deemed fit for a release, the release itself include:
- Make a temporary branch where you bump the version number and update the changelog, ensure CI passes
- Send an email to asiakaspalvelu@pakettikauppa.fi as a heads-up about the upcoming release
- Wait for 1-2 work days
- Merge the temporary branch on master and tag it using git (don't use Github's release features, it can mess up the git tag references)
- This repository hooks into https://deployer.seravo.com/, Packagist and all release actions happen automatically based on the git tag
The plugin is written so that it can be easily forked to a whitelabel version, containing only a subset of shipping providers and a custom branding. This is achieved by using an abstract class as a factory for the plugin component. Each component can be replaced by simply overloading a method.
The Woo_Pakettikauppa_Core\Core class is responsible for loading all components, and it serves as a bridge between the components. The instance is passed to most subclasses of the plugin, such as Woo_Pakettikauppa_Core\Admin, which keep a reference to it under $this->core.
The subclasses are responsible for doing the actual heavy lifting. Admin handles operations in wp-admin, Frontend handles frontend, Shipment is used for creating shipment labels, etc.
Text is bit of a special case, it's only real purpose is to serve as a key-value store for strings that require translation. Currently the plugin has __ and _e calls scattered all over it – in the future, all of them should live in Text. The advantage of doing so is being able to replace any text in the whitelabel forks.
