Developer Information
The recommended solution for deploying a complete dev environment is to use tilt. Follow the installation instructions here. Make sure you can use a local kubernetes cluster by following these steps. If everything is installed correctly, you can go to the root of the repo and run tilt up
. Tilt will prompt you to open a web UI and see all the running services.
Below is information for running services directly.
Setting up Redis for local testing
This is done using examples/development-redis-cluster.sh
.
Tested with Redis 6.0.10
, other versions probably work fine as well.
First of all you need Redis installed:
- macOS:
brew install redis
- Debian / Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install redis-server redis-tools
Then you need eight terminal panes for this. Six for a minimal Redis cluster, one for the Buildfarm server and one for a Buildfarm worker.
./examples/development-redis-cluster.sh 0
./examples/development-redis-cluster.sh 1
./examples/development-redis-cluster.sh 2
./examples/development-redis-cluster.sh 3
./examples/development-redis-cluster.sh 4
./examples/development-redis-cluster.sh 5
redis-cli --cluster create 127.0.0.1:6379 127.0.0.1:6380 127.0.0.1:6381 127.0.0.1:6382 127.0.0.1:6383 127.0.0.1:6384 --cluster-replicas 1
Your Redis cluster is now up, and you can now start your Buildfarm server talking to it:
bazel run //src/main/java/build/buildfarm:buildfarm-server $PWD/examples/config.yml
And your Buildfarm worker:
mkdir /tmp/worker
bazel run //src/main/java/build/buildfarm:buildfarm-shard-worker $PWD/examples/config.yml
Setting up intelliJ
- Check which IntelliJ versions are supported by the Bazel plugin
- Make sure you have a supported IntelliJ version, otherwise download one here
- Follow the Bazel plugin instructions and import
ij.bazelproject
- Once IntelliJ is done loading your project, open
BuildFarmServer.java
and find themain()
method at the bottom Press the green play button symbol in the gutter next to
main()
to create a Bazel build configuration for starting a server. Launching this configuration should get you a help text from Buildfarm Server indicating missing a config file.This indicates a successful launch!
- To add a config file, edit your new run configuration and enter the absolute path to
examples/config.minimal.yml
in the “Executable flags” text box.
Now, you should have something like this, and you can now run / debug Buildfarm Server from inside of IntelliJ, just like any other program:
