I just took a walk through the contributor guide and noticed it appears to be out-of-sync with the current structure of the repo.

I went ahead and made some minor tweaks to get things working again, but someone with knowledge of any recent restructuring should give the whole document a once-over!

There don't appear to be requirements files anymore, so I assume that the optional-dependencies is the intended replacement - not sure how these intersect requirements_dev_minimal and requirements_dev_numpy but these appear to be the minimal ones to run the tests and build the docs!


To verify that your development environment is working, you can run the unit tests::

$ python -m pytest -v zarr
$ python -m pytest -v tests

It looks like there's been a src/tests split since this was written, so the original recommendation no longer applies. This should work and be portable, but feel free to replace with whichever incantation is preferred!

I didn't see pytest-doctestplus listed anywhere in the optional dependencies, and I don't know what else may have been in requirements_dev_optional.

I'd be pro putting this in the test dependencies section, and then not having any optional dependencies for testing? That way it's a bit simpler.

Thanks - this looks great. Just one suggestion to improve things by dropping having optional test dependencies.
