VS Code Remote - Dev Containers

Follow these steps to open the development container using the VS Code Remote - Containers extension:

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please ensure your system meets the pre-reqs (i.e. have Docker installed) in the getting started steps.

2. Make sure you have the VS Code Remote - Containers extension installed.

3. To use this repository you can open a locally cloned copy of the code with VS Code:

   • Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
   • Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!

Things to try

Once the dev container is running, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.

Note: This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out "remoteUser": "vscode" in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json if you'd prefer to run as root.

Before you start please make sure you are able to push and pull changes from GitHub e.g. with the following command:

gh auth login

Also make sure the enviroment variables like in the env.sample file are adapted and set.

Some things to try:

1. Run Hello World

   # inside root folder
   go run ./hello
   # or inside hello folder
   go run .

2. Run Hello World Test

   # inside root folder
   go test ./hello/...
   # or inside hello folder
   go test ./...

3. Debug your code
   • Set a break point in your code
   • Hit F5 to start the debugger (make sure you are using the right laucher)
   • See the debugger stop the execution at your breakpoint
4. Use (mob)[https://mob.sh/]
   • Make sure you don't have any uncommited changes
   • Make sure your enviroment variables are set correctly
   • Make sure you are able to push and pull changes from GitHub
   • Run mob start 5 to start the git handover tool for remote pair/mob programming.
   • See a timer got started at https://timer.mob.sh/itk-cloud-coding-dojo. Make sure your name appears in the History. Else check your enviroment variables again.
   • Run mob stop to stop the git handover tool (the timer will continue)
