This guide is for people interested in working on the Geode code itself. It assumes you have basic familiarity with using Geode and standard Java tools.
Building and Running Tests
Geode is built with gradle 2.3. See Building and Running Geode from Source for basic instructions on how to build. We recommend you use jdk1.7.0_75.
Geode uses the standard gradle lifecycle. Execute this to build and run all tests:
./gradlew clean build
Geode has quite a few tests, so this will take several hours. The tests are broken into the following categories
- unit tests - run with
./gradlew test
- integration tests - run with
./gradlew integrationTest
- distributed integration tests - run with
./gradlew distributedTest
Note - The engineering team is still in the process of migrating the test suite to the open source code. You may not see any distributedTests yet.
To run an individual test, run the test in your IDE or specify the sub-project and test type like so:
./gradlew -DtestType.single=testName [project:]testType
For example: ./gradlew -DintegrationTest.single=ArrayUtilsJUnitTest integrationTest
Setting up your IDE
Geode uses gradle plugins to generate your IDE configuration files.
Eclipse
Invoking ./gradlew eclipse
will generate the project and classpath files for all subprojects. Import all projects into eclipse. Note: run gradle build
prior to importing the projects into Eclipse.
IntelliJ
Invoking /gradlew idea
will generate project files for IntelliJ. Import the resulting project files.
