Overview

Internal workflow

Development environment

Create symbolic link from you directory to GOPATH

cd to-your-project
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/feedlabs
ln -s $(pwd) $GOPATH/src/github.com/feedlabs/elasticfeed

Developing Elasticfeed

If you wish to work on Elasticfeed itself or any of its built-in providers, you'll first need Go installed (version 1.2+ is required). Make sure Go is properly installed, including setting up a GOPATH.

Next, install the following software packages, which are needed for some dependencies:

• Bazaar
• Git
• Mercurial

Then, install Gox, which is used as a compilation tool on top of Go:

$ go get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox

Next, clone this repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/elasticfeed/elasticfeed. Install the necessary dependencies by running make updatedeps and then just type make. This will compile some more dependencies and then run the tests. If this exits with exit status 0, then everything is working!

$ make updatedeps
...
$ make
...

To compile a development version of Elasticfeed and the built-in plugins, run make dev. This will put Elasticfeed binaries in the bin folder:

$ make dev
...
$ bin/elasticfeed
...

If you're developing a specific package, you can run tests for just that package by specifying the TEST variable. For example below, only elasticfeed package tests will be run.

$ make test TEST=./elasticfeed
...

Run
