The development tracker for cartodb-postgresql is on github:
|
|
http://github.com/cartodb/cartodb-postgresql/
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes are best reported as pull requests over there.
|
|
Features are best discussed on the mailing list:

|
Adding features to the extension
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Extension features are coded in scripts found under the
|
|
"scripts-available" directory. A feature can be a single function
|
|
or a group of function with a specific scope.
|
|
|
|
The "scripts-enabled" directory contains symlinks to the scripts
|
|
in "scripts-available". Any symlink in that directory is automatically
|
|
included in the extension. Numbering can be used to enforce the order
|
|
in which those scripts are loaded.
|
|
|
|
Scripts would be best coded in a way to be usable both for creation
|
|
and upgrade of the objects. This means using CREATE OR REPLACE for
|
|
the functions, and whatever it takes to check existence of any previous
|
|
version of objects in other cases.
|
|
|
|
When used as an extension (probably always from version 0.2.0 onwards)
|
|
all the objects will be installed in a "cartodb" schema. Take this into
|
|
account to fully-qualify internal calls to avoid (possibly dangerous)
|
|
name clashes.
|
|
|
|
Every new feature (as well as bugfixes) should come with a test case,
|
|
see next section.
|
|
|
|
Writing testcases
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Tests reside in the test/ directory.
|
|
You can find information about how to write tests in test/README
|
|
|
|
Testing changes live
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Testing changes made during development requires upgrading
|
|
the extension into your test database.
|
|
|
|
During development the cartodb extension version doesn't change with
|
|
every commit, so testing latest change requires cheating with PostgreSQL
|
|
so to enforce re-load of the scripts. To help with cheating, "make install"
|
|
also installs migration scripts to go from "V" to "V"next and from "V"next
|
|
to "V". Example to upgrade a 0.2.0dev version:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
ALTER EXTENSION cartodb UPDATE TO '0.2.0next';
|
|
ALTER EXTENSION cartodb UPDATE TO '0.2.0dev';
|
|
```
|
|
Starting with 0.2.0, the in-place reload can be done with an ad-hoc function:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT cartodb.cdb_extension_reload();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A useful query:
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT * FROM pg_extension_update_paths('cartodb') WHERE path IS NOT NULL AND source = cdb_version();
|
|
```
