Development commands

This plugin uses just as a task runner and uv for dependency management. Run just with no arguments to list every available command. The most useful ones are:

just fmt

Auto-format and lint the code.

just test

Run the full test suite with pytest.

Updating the fonts

To update fonts or add new ones, edit the FONTS variable in scripts/update_fonts.py, then run:

uv run scripts/update_fonts.py

Installing pretalx

The tests need pretalx installed in the environment. just test handles this for you: if pretalx cannot be imported, it installs the latest version from git before running the test suite.

If you already have a development version of pretalx around (for example if you want to test your changes against a specific commit or branch of pretalx), you can also install pretalx up front yourself:

just install-pretalx-local /path/to/pretalx

Install pretalx from a local checkout as an editable install.

just install-pretalx

Install the latest pretalx from git (runs before tests if no pretalx is installed).
