Plugin Development for pretalx

This repository is used a reference of current issues and open questions for the plugin development procedure of pretalx. The idea is to use Devcontainers to create a consistent environment to reproduce issues.

How to setup the environemnt?

The Visual Studio Code documentation contains a good starting guide. The most important ones are:

1. Install a container runtime and the extensions: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers#_getting-started
2. Reopen the cloned repository in a devcontainer: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers#_reopen-folder-in-container

How to start the development server?

This section documents the steps that I did after starting the devcontainer to run the development server. It acts as a common summary, so that I do not have to repeat it for every issue.

Initial steps I did once:

nvm install --lts
pip install -e .
python3 -m pretalx rebuild --npm-install
python3 -m pretalx collectstatic --noinput
python3 -m pretalx migrate
python3 -m pretalx init
python3 -m pretalx create_test_event

Commands I execute every time to start the server:

1. python3 -m pretalx runserver
