Overview

For the moment, the client only covers the Grafana API in the version 5. There is no guarantee that the client is compatible with previous or latest Grafana version.

Versioning

This project uses the following version rules:

X.Y.Z

Where :

• X is the major version of Grafana supported by this project
• Y is the major version of this client. Be careful with this rule, you can have some breaking changes between two Y number. (even if usually it won't happen)
• Z is the minor version of this client. It will be increased when there are some bug fixes.

Supported Version

Grafana Version	Support Branch
>= 5.0, < 6.0	master

Development

All following tools are running by circleci, so in order to help you to improve your code and make easier your life, here it is how you can launch the tools with the correct parameter.

Run unit test

You can run the unit test using make :

make test

This command only run the unit test which basically only the test in the http package. All test written in the package /api/v1 needs grafana. See Run integration test section.

Run integration test

If you want to launch the unit test, you need to have a local grafana instance which must be accessible through the url http://localhost:3000. A simply way to launch it, is to start the corresponding container :

docker run -d --name=grafana -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana:5.4.3

Once Grafana is up, you can run the following command :

make integration-test
