Consider asking someone from the core team or author of the code before removing it. This should almost always happen through a pull request instead of the docrails project. A `:nodoc:` should never be added simply because a method or class is missing documentation. There may be an instance where an internal public method wasn't given a `:nodoc:` by mistake, for example when switching a method from private to public visibility. When this happens it should be discussed over a PR on a case-by-case basis and never committed directly to docrails. -To summarize, the Rails team uses `:nodoc:` to mark publicly visible methods and classes for internal use; changes to the visibility of API should be considered carefully and discussed over a Pull Request first. - -For whatever reason, you have a question on how the Rails team handles certain API don't hesitate to open a ticket or send a patch to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues). +To summarize, the Rails team uses `:nodoc:` to mark publicly visible methods and classes for internal use; changes to the visibility of API should be considered carefully and discussed over a pull request first. +If you have a question on how the Rails team handles certain API, don't hesitate to open a ticket or send a patch to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues). diff --git a/guides/source/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.md b/guides/source/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.md index 57010b85c3..ef4633ac1a 100644 --- a/guides/source/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.md +++ b/guides/source/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.md @@ -265,15 +265,15 @@ This is how you run the Active Record test suite only for SQLite3: ```bash $ cd activerecord -$ bundle exec rake test_sqlite3 +$ bundle exec rake test:sqlite3 ``` You can now run the tests as you did for `sqlite3`.
