[Theme] Carry Default theme directory customizations over to System (#7385)
* [Theme] Carry Default theme directory customizations over to System

The Default -> System rename rewrote the stored theme name but left the
user profile's themes/Default directory behind, so anyone who had
customized zone graphics, stylesheets or palettes there silently lost them.

Migrate the directory alongside the name. Rename it when System does not
exist yet, otherwise merge file by file without overwriting what System
already has, then drop the legacy directory. Users who already ran the
rename get their customizations back on the next start, and a hand-made
Default folder of a user on another theme is left untouched.

* [Tests] Give theme_migration_test an explicit main and gate it on WITH_CLIENT

The build machines that cannot find GTest fall back to the downloaded
googletest, which links the bare gtest library without gtest_main. Every
other test defines its own main() for that reason; this one did not, so
Debian 13, Fedora 44 and Ubuntu 26.04 failed to link it.

The test compiles client sources, so -DTEST=1 -DWITH_CLIENT=0 has no way
to build it. Gate the subdirectory on WITH_CLIENT like the other
client-source test.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Code

To contribute code to the project, please review our guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation. We encourage you to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
