Development

This doc explains how to setup a development environment so you can get started contributing to Knative-GCP. Also take a look at:

• The pull request workflow
• How to add and run e2e tests
• Iterating
• Format check
• Additional development documentation

Getting started

1. Create and checkout a repo fork

2. Installing Knative-GCP

Checkout your fork

The Go tools require that you clone the repository to the src/github.com/google/knative-gcp directory in your GOPATH.

To check out this repository:

1. Create your own fork of this repo
2. Clone it to your machine:

mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/google
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/google
git clone git@github.com:${YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME}/knative-gcp.git
cd knative-gcp
git remote add upstream https://github.com/google/knative-gcp.git
git remote set-url --push upstream no_push

Adding the upstream remote sets you up nicely for regularly syncing your fork.

Once you reach this point you are ready to do a full build and deploy as follows.

Iterating

As you make changes to the code-base, there are two special cases to be aware of(If you run under macOS, you may need to upgrade your bash version on macOS since macOS comes with bash version 3 which is quite limiting and lack features need to run the following two scripts):

• If you change a type definition (pkg/apis/), then you must run ./hack/update-codegen.sh.
• If you change a package's deps (including adding external dep), then you must run ./hack/update-deps.sh.

These are both idempotent, and we expect that running these at HEAD to have no diffs.

Once the codegen and dependency information is correct, redeploying the controller is simply:

ko apply -f config/500-controller.yaml

Or you can clean it up completely and start again.

Format Check

The CI/CD runs format check, please run these commands before you submit a code change to make sure the format follows the standard: For macOS:

find . -name '*.go' \! -name wire_gen.go \! -name '*.pb.go' -exec go run golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports -w {} \+ -o \( -path ./vendor -o -path ./third_party \) -prune
find . -name '*.go' -type f \! -name '*.pb.go' -exec gofmt -s -w {} \+ -o \( -path './vendor' -o -path './third_party' \) -prune

For Linux:

find -name '*.go' \! -name wire_gen.go \! -name '*.pb.go' -exec go run golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports -w {} \+ -o \( -path ./vendor -o -path ./third_party \) -prune
find -name '*.go' -type f \! -name '*.pb.go' -exec gofmt -s -w {} \+ -o \( -path './vendor' -o -path './third_party' \) -prune

E2E Tests

Running E2E tests as you make changes to the code-base is pretty simple. See E2E test docs.

Clean up

You can delete Knative-GCP with:

ko delete -f config/
