Getting started
First, you will need to clone the NATS go repository:
git clone https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go
There we have setup two different branches to the nats.go repository (kc-contrib-vnext
and kc-contrib-main
)
-
kc-contrib-vnext
Send PRs to the ideas with backwards incompatible changes here.
-
kc-contrib-main
In this branch, we will try to upstream the changes to the main branch
Then, look for one of the issues here and send a PR to the branch that matches the label from the issue.
Running the tests
To run the tests from the client can be done as follows:
go test ./... -race --count=1 -p=1 -modfile=go_test.mod
Notice the -modfile=go_test.mod
, we do this to be able to split test dependencies notably the NATS Server.
This way we avoid the client depending on the server (which itself depends on the nats.go client
