Couchbase C++ Transactions Client

Getting the Source Code

This repo uses several git submodules. If you are fetching the repo for the first time by command line, the --recurse-submodules option will init the submodules recursively as well:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@//github.com:couchbase/couchbase-transactions-cxx.git

However, if you fetched using a simple clone command (or another IDE or tool) you must also perform the following command to recursively update and initialize the submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Dev Dependencies

The following dependencies must be installed before the project can be built. We recommend using OS specific utilities such as brew, apt-get, and similar package management utilities (depending on your environment).

• cmake >= 3.17.0+ (e.g., brew install cmake)
• c++ compiler >= std_17 (e.g., xcode-select --install)
• openssl >= 1.1+ (e.g., brew install openssl)

IMPORTANT: On macOS, the OpenSSL brew install command mentioned above is not sufficient to be able to build. The easiest way to fix this is to add the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR env variable to your exports (e.g., .zshenv). If this is not sufficient, see the other tips mentioned when you run brew info openssl.

export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/

or, if you prefer:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig

Building

From the root of the repo:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j8

Running Tests

Currently, all the tests are packaged into one executable, which will be placed in the build directory:

./client_tests
