Continuous integration

icclim continuous integration (CI) aims to assist development by:

• Avoiding introducing bugs in the code base.

• Ensuring all new code follow the same code style.

• Measuring how much icclim code base is tested by automated unit tests. This is known as code coverage.

• Making sure the documentation generation is functioning well.

These goals are reached using multiple tools:

• pre-commit CI enforce the code style (Black + flake8 + isort) is followed by committing changes directly on new pull request and blocking merge if necessary. The relevant file is .pre-commit-config.yaml.

• readthedocs, which serve our documentation is also configured to run the documentation generation on each new pull request.

• github actions are used to run unit tests and report the results in each pull request.
