# Pull Request Checklist

## Follow the project code guidelines.

Please read carefully the [Contributing to Core](https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/Contributing_to_Trunk) guidelines before starting the development. 

This is a list of the common issues, standards and guidelines when contributing to iDempiere's core. Following all the recommendations will make the merging process smoother for everyone involved.

## Description

Please ensure that information in JIRA is sufficient, it must contain a natural language description of the changes proposed, when relevant is important to add information about how to test and the possible collateral effects that the ticket can impact.

Please include here the link to the corresponding JIRA ticket in the description, this helps with navigating back and forth between JIRA and GitHub.

## Run the unit tests.

* Make sure the changes you want to commit pass all the core unit tests. 
* If the new code does not pass a unit test because the unit test was wrong, fix the unit test in the same pull request.
* If you're adding something new, please add the corresponding unit test.

You can learn more about unit tests in iDempiere with this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO71gw3is5I).

## Checklist:

- [ ] My code follows the code guidelines of this project
- [ ] My code follows the best practices of this project
- [ ] I have performed a self-review of my own code
- [ ] My code is easy to understand and review. 
- [ ] In hard-to-understand areas, I have commented my code.
- [ ] My changes generate no new warnings
- [ ] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes
- [ ] I have added unit tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
- [ ] Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules
- [ ] I have checked my code and corrected any misspellings
- [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation as follows:
- - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality): I have created the New Feature page in the project wiki explaining the functionality and how to use it. If relevant, I have committed sample data to the core seed to have usable examples in GardenWorld.
- - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected): I have documented the change in a clear way that everyone in the community can understand the impact of the change.
- - [ ] Improvement (improves and existing functionality): This documentation is needed if the improvement changes the way the user interacts with the system or the outcome of a process/task changes. If it is just, for instance, a performance improvement, documentation might not be needed.
