# Contributing to the Python Elasticsearch Client
If you have a bugfix or new feature that you would like to contribute to
elasticsearch-py, please find or open an issue about it first. Talk about what
you would like to do. It may be that somebody is already working on it, or that
there are particular issues that you should know about before implementing the
change.
We enjoy working with contributors to get their code accepted. There are many
approaches to fixing a problem and it is important to find the best approach
before writing too much code.
## Running Elasticsearch locally
We've provided a script to start an Elasticsearch cluster of a certain version
found at `.buildkite/run-elasticsearch.sh`.
There are several environment variables that control integration tests:
- `PYTHON_VERSION`: Version of Python to use, defaults to `3.9`
- `PYTHON_CONNECTION_CLASS`: Connection class to use, defaults to `Urllib3HttpConnection`
- `STACK_VERSION`: Version of Elasticsearch to use. These should be
the same as tags of `docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch`
such as `8.0.0-SNAPSHOT`, `7.x-SNAPSHOT`, etc. Defaults to the
same `*-SNAPSHOT` version as the branch.
**NOTE: You don't need to run the live integration tests for all changes. If
you don't have Elasticsearch running locally the integration tests will be skipped.**
## API Code Generation
All API methods for the `Elasticsearch` and `AsyncElasticsearch` client instances
(like `search()`) are automatically generated from the
[Elasticsearch specification](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-specification)
and [rest-api-spec](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/tree/master/rest-api-spec/src/main/resources/rest-api-spec/api).
Any changes to these methods should instead be submitted to the Elasticsearch specification project and will be imported the next time
the clients API is generated. The generator itself is currently a private project.
## Contributing Code Changes
The process for contributing to any of the Elasticsearch repositories is similar.
1. Please make sure you have signed the [Contributor License
Agreement](http://www.elastic.co/contributor-agreement/). We are not
asking you to assign copyright to us, but to give us the right to distribute
your code without restriction. We ask this of all contributors in order to
assure our users of the origin and continuing existence of the code. You only
need to sign the CLA once.
2. Run the linter and test suite to ensure your changes do not break existing code:
```
# Install Nox for task management
$ python -m pip install nox
# Auto-format and lint your changes
$ nox -rs format
# Run the test suite
$ nox -rs test
```
3. Rebase your changes.
Update your local repository with the most recent code from the main
elasticsearch-py repository, and rebase your branch on top of the latest `main`
branch. We prefer your changes to be squashed into a single commit for easier
backporting.
4. Submit a pull request. Push your local changes to your forked copy of the
repository and submit a pull request. In the pull request, describe what your
changes do and mention the number of the issue where discussion has taken
place, eg “Closes #123″. Please consider adding or modifying tests related to
your changes.
Then sit back and wait. There will probably be a discussion about the pull
request and, if any changes are needed, we would love to work with you to get
your pull request merged into elasticsearch-py.
