KubeVela project is initialized and maintained by the cloud native community since day 0 with bootstrapping contributors from 8+ different organizations. We intend for KubeVela to have an open governance since the very beginning and donate the project to neutral foundation as soon as it's released.
This doc explains how to set up a development environment, so you can get started
contributing to kubevela
or build a PoC (Proof of Concept).
- Golang version 1.13+
- Kubernetes version v1.16+ with
~/.kube/config
configured. - ginkgo 1.14.0+ (just for E2E test)
- golangci-lint 1.31.0+, it will install automatically if you run
make
, you can install it manually if the installation is too slow.
We also recommend you to learn about KubeVela's design before dive into its code.
- Clone this project
git clone [email protected]:oam-dev/kubevela.git
KubeVela includes two parts, vela core
and vela cli
.
- The
vela core
is actually a K8s controller, it will watch OAM Spec CRD and deploy resources. - The
vela cli
is a command line tool that can build, run apps(with the help ofvela core
).
For local development, we probably need to build both of them.
- Build Vela CLI
make
After the vela cli built successfully, make
command will create vela
binary to bin/
under the project.
- Configure
vela
binary to System PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/your/path/to/project/kubevela/bin
Then you can use vela
command directly.
- Build Vela Core
make manager
- Run Vela Core
Firstly make sure your cluster has CRDs, below is the command that can help install all CRDs.
make core-install
Run locally:
make core-run
This command will run controller locally, it will use your local KubeConfig which means you need to have a k8s cluster locally. If you don't have a one, we suggest that you could setup up a cluster with kind.
When you're developing vela-core
, make sure the controller installed by helm chart is not running.
Otherwise, it will conflict with your local running controller.
You can check and uninstall it by using helm.
helm list -A
helm uninstall -n vela-system kubevela
You can try use your local built binaries follow the documentation.
make test
Before e2e test start, make sure you have vela-core running.
make core-run
Start to test.
make e2e-test
Please read the documentation before contributing to the docs.
- Build docs
make docs-build
- Local development and preview
make docs-start
Remember to write unit-test and e2e-test after you have finished your code.
Run following checks before making a pull request.
make reviewable
The command will do some lint checks and clean code.
After that, check in all changes and send a pull request.
Before merging, the pull request should obey the following rules:
- The commit title and message should be clear about what this PR does.
- All test CI should pass green.
- The
codecov/project
should pass. This means the coverage should not drop. See Codecov commit status.
