Building, Testing, and Contributing

Building

In the past, ddev would be checked out in the $GOPATH, but as of go 1.11, this is no longer appropriate. You should check out your fork outside the $GOPATH.

Build/test/check static analysis with:

make
make linux
make darwin
make windows
make test
make clean
make staticrequired

The binaries are built into .gotmp/bin; although normal command-line go build or go install will work (and everything works fine with IDEs like Goland or vscode) the official build technique is via make which uses a completely consistent golang-build-container so that the build is identical no matter what machine or OS it might be built on.

Testing

Normal test invocation is just make test. Run a single test with an invocation like go test -v -run TestDevAddSites ./pkg/... or make testpkg TESTARGS="-run TestDevAddSites".

To see which ddev commands the tests are executing, set the environment variable DRUD_DEBUG=true.

Use GOTEST_SHORT=true to run just one CMS in each test.

Docker container development

The docker containers that ddev uses are included in the containers/ directory:

  • containers/ddev-webserver: Provides the web servers (the "web" container).
  • containers/ddev-dbserver: Provides the "db" container.
  • containers/ddev-bgsync: Fast web directory syncing
  • containers/phpmyadmin: Provides the phpmyadmin (dba) container
  • containers/ddev-router: The router image

When changes are made to a container, they have to be temporarily pushed to a tag that is preferably the same as the branch name of the PR, and the tag updated in pkg/version/version.go. Just ask if you need a container pushed to support a PR.
