# Build
./gradlew build
# Test
./gradlew clean test -Dserver="https://myserver:9200" -Dusername=john -Dpassword=mypass -Dcommit=87a6f33- All code contributions must be compatible with the GPL-3.0 license
- Do not introduce new copyleft-licensed dependencies (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, MPL) without explicit discussion in an issue first. This is especially important for repos migrating to Apache 2.0.
- Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first
- Tests require a running Appium server and an Android device/emulator
- Tests require two APK files (older and newer versions) and a running ownCloud server
- Only use actions owned by
owncloud, created by GitHub (actions/*), verified on the GitHub Marketplace, or verified by the ownCloud Maintainers. - Pin all actions to their full commit SHA (not tags):
uses: actions/checkout@<SHA> # vX.Y.Z - Never introduce actions from unverified third parties.
- Dependabot is configured for automated dependency updates.
- Review and merge Dependabot PRs as part of regular maintenance.
- Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first.
- Rebase policy: Always rebase; never create merge commits. Use
git pull --rebaseandgit rebasebefore pushing. - Signed commits: All commits must be PGP/GPG signed (
git commit -S -s). - DCO sign-off: Every commit needs a
Signed-off-byline (git commit -s). - Conventional Commits & Squash Merge: Use the Conventional Commits format where the repository enforces it. Many repos use squash merge, where the PR title becomes the commit message on the default branch — apply Conventional Commits format to PR titles as well. A reusable GitHub Actions workflow enforces this.
- Match existing code style
- Do not refactor unrelated code in the same PR
- Write tests for new functionality
- Keep PRs focused and atomic
- This is a focused test repo - changes should relate to update/upgrade testing only
