Development Guide

Building Kompose

Build with go

• you need go v1.5 or later
• You need to set export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 environment variable
• If your working copy is not in your GOPATH, you need to set it accordingly.

$ go build -tags experimental -o kompose ./cli/main

You need -tags experimental because the current bundlefile package of docker/libcompose is still experimental.

Building multi-platform binaries with make

• You need make

$ make binary

Workflow

Fork the main repository

1. Go to https://github.com/skippbox/kompose
2. Click the "Fork" button (at the top right)

Clone your fork

The commands below require that you have $GOPATH. We highly recommended you put Kompose' code into your $GOPATH.

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/skippbox
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/skippbox
git clone https://github.com/$YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/kompose.git
cd kompose
git remote add upstream 'https://github.com/skippbox/kompose'

Create a branch and make changes

git checkout -b myfeature
# Make your code changes

Keeping your development fork in sync

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

Note: If you have write access to the main repository at github.com/skippbox/kompose, you should modify your git configuration so that you can't accidentally push to upstream:

git remote set-url --push upstream no_push

Committing changes to your fork

git commit
git push -f origin myfeature

Creating a pull request

1. Visit https://github.com/$YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/kompose.git
2. Click the "Compare and pull request" button next to your "myfeature" branch.
3. Check out the pull request process for more details

Godep and dependency management

Kompose uses godep to manage dependencies. It is not strictly required for building Kompose but it is required when managing dependencies under the vendor/ tree, and is required by a number of the build and test scripts. Please make sure that godep is installed and in your $PATH, and that godep version says it is at least v63.

Installing godep

There are many ways to build and host Go binaries. Here is an easy way to get utilities like godep installed:

1. Ensure that mercurial is installed on your system. (some of godep's dependencies use the mercurial source control system). Use apt-get install mercurial or yum install mercurial on Linux, or brew.sh on OS X, or download directly from mercurial.

2. Create a new GOPATH for your tools and install godep:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go-tools
mkdir -p $GOPATH
go get -u github.com/tools/godep

3. Add this $GOPATH/bin to your path. Typically you'd add this to your ~/.profile:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

To check your version of godep:

godep version
godep v74 (linux/amd64/go1.6.2)

Note: At this time, godep version >= v64 is known to work in the Kompose project.

If it is not a valid version try, make sure you have updated the godep repo with go get -u github.com/tools/godep.

Using godep

1. Populate dependencies for your Kompose.

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/skippbox
godep restore

2. Add a new dependency.

To add a new package, do this:

go get foo/bar
# edit your code to import foo/bar
godep save ./...
