Summary

This document covers how to contribute to an Okta Open Source project. These instructions assume you have a GitHub.com account, so if you don't have one you will have to create one. Your proposed code changes will be published to your own fork of the Okta PHP Samples project and you will submit a Pull Request for your changes to be added.

Lets get started!!!

Fork the code

In your browser, navigate to: https://github.com/okta/samples-php

Fork the repository by clicking on the 'Fork' button on the top right hand side. The fork will happen and you will be taken to your own fork of the repository. Copy the Git repository URL by clicking on the clipboard next to the URL on the right hand side of the page under 'HTTPS clone URL'. You will paste this URL when doing the following git clone command.

On your computer, follow these steps to setup a local repository for working on the Okta PHP Samples:

$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_ACCOUNT/samples-php.git
$ cd samples-php
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/okta/samples-php.git
$ git checkout master
$ git fetch upstream
$ git rebase upstream/master

Making changes

It is important that you create a new branch to make changes on and that you do not change the master branch (other than to rebase in changes from upstream/master). In this example I will assume you will be making your changes to a branch called feature/my-new-feature. This feature/my-new-feature branch will be created on your local repository and will be pushed to your forked repository on GitHub. Once this branch is on your fork you will create a Pull Request for the changes to be added to the Okta PHP Samples project.

It is best practice to create a new branch each time you want to contribute to the project and only track the changes for that pull request in this branch.

$ git checkout -b feature/my-new-feature
   (make your changes)
$ git status
$ git add .
$ git commit -a -m "descriptive commit message for your changes"

The -b specifies that you want to create a new branch called feature/my-new-feature. You only specify -b the first time you checkout because you are creating a new branch. Once the feature/my-new-feature branch exists, you can later switch to it with only git checkout feature/my-new-feature.

Rebase feature/my-new-feature to include updates from upstream/master

It is important that you maintain an up-to-date master branch in your local repository. This is done by rebasing in the code changes from upstream/master (the official Okta PHP Samples project repository) into your local repository. You will want to do this before you start working on a feature as well as right before you submit your changes as a pull request. I recommend you do this process periodically while you work to make sure you are working off the most recent project code.

This process will do the following:

1. Checkout your local master branch
2. Synchronize your local master branch with the upstream/master so you have all the latest changes from the project
3. Rebase the latest project code into your feature/my-new-feature branch so it is up-to-date with the upstream code

$ git checkout master
$ git fetch upstream
$ git rebase upstream/master
$ git checkout feature/my-new-feature
$ git rebase master

Now your feature/my-new-feature branch is up-to-date with all the code in upstream/master.

Running E2E Tests locally before commits

E2E Tests can be run against the Custom Login, Okta-Hosted Login and Resource servers

Follow the steps below to run the tests locally:

# At project root
composer install

To test the samples you will need the following configured in your developer org:

• A Web application
• A SPA application
• A test user account with a known username and password. Note that the USERNAME should be of the form "[email protected]"

Once you have those resources setup, export their details as the following environment variables:

export ISSUER=https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default
export CLIENT_ID={clientId}
export CLIENT_SECRET={clientSecret}
export SPA_CLIENT_ID={spaAppClientId}
export USERNAME={userName}
export PASSWORD={password}

For Windows, please set the following environment variables:

• ISSUER
• CLIENT_ID
• CLIENT_SECRET
• SPA_CLIENT_ID
• USER_NAME
• PASSWORD

As an alternative you can provide the environment variables in a file named testenv in the root folder.

For example:

ISSUER=https://dev-12345.oktapreview.com/oauth2/default
CLIENT_ID=webclient123
CLIENT_SECRET=websecret123
SPA_CLIENT_ID=spaclient123
[email protected]
PASSWORD=mypassword

NOTE: Windows has USERNAME as a built-in system variable, hence set the USER_NAME environment variable for testing.

Then run the E2E tests:

composer test

NOTE: If you want to execute tests for okta-hosted-login, custom-login or resource-server in isolation, you can run the following scripts

composer test:okta-hosted-login
composer test:custom-login
composer test:resource-server

Make a GitHub Pull Request to contribute your changes

When you are happy with your changes and you are ready to contribute them, you will create a Pull Request on GitHub to do so. This is done by pushing your local changes to your forked repository (default remote name is origin) and then initiating a pull request on GitHub.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have rebased your feature/my-new-feature branch to include the latest code from upstream/master before you do this.

$ git push origin master
$ git push origin feature/my-new-feature

Now that the feature/my-new-feature branch has been pushed to your GitHub repository, you can initiate the pull request.

To initiate the pull request, do the following:

1. In your browser, navigate to your forked repository: https://github.com/YOUR_ACCOUNT/samples-php
2. Click the new button called 'Compare & pull request' that showed up just above the main area in your forked repository
3. Validate the pull request will be into the upstream master and will be from your feature/my-new-feature branch
4. Enter a detailed description of the work you have done and then click 'Send pull request'

If you are requested to make modifications to your proposed changes, make the changes locally on your feature/my-new-feature branch, re-push the feature/my-new-feature branch to your fork. The existing pull request should automatically pick up the change and update accordingly.

Cleaning up after a successful pull request

Once the feature/my-new-feature branch has been committed into the upstream/master branch, your local feature/my-new-feature branch and the origin/feature/my-new-feature branch are no longer needed. If you want to make additional changes, restart the process with a new branch.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that your changes are in upstream/master before you delete your feature/my-new-feature and origin/feature/my-new-feature branches!

You can delete these deprecated branches with the following:

$ git checkout master
$ git branch -D feature/my-new-feature
$ git push origin :feature/my-new-feature
