- Windows OS including Windows 8,10,Server 2012 and Server 2016.
- Same prerequisites as REEF Java (Building REEF Java), which includes:
- Apache Maven 3.3 or newer
- Java development kit version 7 or 8
- Protoc version 2.5
- Set the following environment variables:
- Set
M2_HOME
environment variable to location of maven installation - Set
JAVA_HOME
environment variable to java installation directory
- Set
- Add the following items to the environment variable
PATH
:- Add the location of the
protoc.exe
executable in the windows path - Add
%JAVA_HOME%/bin
and%M2_HOME%/bin
to the windows path as well
- Add the location of the
- Visual Studio 2017 V. 15.4.3 or newer. Most REEF developers use the free Community Edition.
- NuGet 4.0.0 or later. (Included in VS 2017)
- xunit.runner.console.2.1.0 package (installing it might require manual restore of NuGet packages).
For Building projects:
To build and run tests in Visual Studio on local machine:
- Open solution
.\lang\cs\Org.Apache.REEF.sln
- Build solution
- Open Test Explorer and add search filter
-Trait:Environment
to filter out tests which are supposed to run on Yarn. If not filtered out, these tests will fail. - Use "Run All" to run all tests
To build REEF.NET from command line, execute
msbuild .\lang\cs\Org.Apache.REEF.sln
To run .NET tests on local machine from command line, execute
msbuild .\lang\cs\TestRunner.proj
TestRunner.proj
already has a filter set up to exclude Yarn tests.
For Building DotNet projects:
We are in the process of converting the C# support to use dotnet core as well as support for Visual Studio 2017. As a result there are .DotNet.csproj files that sit beside the existing csproj files. To build the dotnet projects, you will need the .NET Core SDK installed on your machine as well as Visual Studio 2017.
Note: Building in Visual Studio 2017 is not yet supported. You will need to build at the command line using the .NET Core SDK tools (dotnet). However Visual Studio 2017 does support opening the DotNet solution. .NET Core applications are supported on both Windows and Linux, the projects will only build fully on Windows since they do target the .net45 framework.
The .NET Core SDK tools are located here:
https://github.com/dotnet/cli
Scroll down the page to access the latest builds of .NET Core SDK, download the Windows X64 installer.
At the time of writing the current version used is 2.0.0-preview1-005825. Any version that is equal or newer should also work.
To build from Visual Studio 2017:
This is not currently supported and you will need to build from the command line however VS2017 can be used to view the solution.
To open the project in VS2017, open the solution .\lang\cs\Org.Apache.REEF.DotNet.sln
.
To build from the command line, in the reef\lang\cs
path, type the following:
dotnet clean Org.Apache.REEF.DotNet.sln
dotnet restore Org.Apache.REEF.DotNet.sln
dotnet build Org.Apache.REEF.DotNet.sln
clean
will clean any previously built binaryrestore
restores nuget dependenciesbuild
builds the solution
To build nuget packages, type the following:
dotnet pack Org.Apache.REEF.DotNet.sln
This will build nuget packages for each project.
Projects will build out to reef\bin\<AssemblyName>
and will contain all the platforms that the project supports. Each project
is in various stages as they are transitioning to dotnet core 2.0 - therefore they may only build .net45 and .net46 assemblies.
We use AppVeyor to run continuous integration for REEF .NET code (i.e. build code and run tests for all pull requests and commits to master branch).
It can be convenient to set up AppVeyor for your fork of REEF repository, for example, to reproduce a test failure which can't be reproduced locally or to get AppVeyor test run results earlier than the official ones.
- Log in to AppVeyor using your GitHub credentials.
- Go to project creation and select
reef
repository. - Fine-tune configuration as required at Settings tab of repository; you can enable building pushes to your repository when you're investigating something and disable them when you don't need them.
- Edit AppVeyor configuration file as required (by default you'll use the same configuration as REEF build).
To isolate a specific test or group of tests, you can modify test_script
section of appveyor.yml
.
For example, to run only one test Org.Apache.REEF.Tests.Functional.IMRU.IMRUCloseTaskTest.TestTaskCloseOnLocalRuntime
modify test_script
section as follows:
test_script:
- cmd: cd .\lang\cs
- cmd: .\.nuget\nuget.exe restore .\.nuget\packages.config -o .\packages
- cmd: .\packages\xunit.runner.console.2.1.0\tools\xunit.console.exe .\bin\x64\Debug\Org.Apache.REEF.Tests\Org.Apache.REEF.Tests.dll -method Org.Apache.REEF.Tests.Functional.IMRU.IMRUCloseTaskTest.TestTaskCloseOnLocalRuntime
nuget restore
is necessary to install xunit.runner.console
package, which by default is installed in TestRunner.proj
.
