Developer guide

This guide helps you get started developing KubeVela.

Prerequisites

  1. Golang version 1.17+
  2. Kubernetes version v1.18+ with ~/.kube/config configured.
  3. ginkgo 1.14.0+ (just for E2E test)
  4. golangci-lint 1.38.0+, it will install automatically if you run make, you can install it manually if the installation is too slow.
  5. kubebuilder v3.1.0+ and you need to manually install the dependency tools for unit test.
  6. CUE binary v0.3.0+
Install Kubebuilder manually

linux:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubebuilder-tools/kubebuilder-tools-1.21.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf  kubebuilder-tools-1.21.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
mkdir -p /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin
sudo mv kubebuilder/bin/* /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin

macOS:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubebuilder-tools/kubebuilder-tools-1.21.2-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf  kubebuilder-tools-1.21.2-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
mkdir -p /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin
sudo mv kubebuilder/bin/* /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin

Build

  • 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 of vela 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

To ensure you have created vela-system namespace and install definitions of necessary module. you can run the command:

make def-install

And then 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

Use

You can try use your local built binaries follow the documentation.

Testing

Unit test

make test

To execute the unit test of the API module, the mongodb service needs to exist locally.

make unit-test-apiserver

E2E test

Before e2e test start, make sure you have vela-core running.

make core-run

Start to test.

make e2e-test

Contribute apiserver and velaux

Before start, please make sure you have already started the vela controller environment.

make run-apiserver

By default, the apiserver will serving at "0.0.0.0:8000".

Get the velaux code by:

git clone [email protected]:oam-dev/velaux.git

Configure the apiserver address:

cd velaux
echo "BASE_DOMAIN='http://127.0.0.1:8000'" > .env

Make sure you have installed yarn.

yarn install
yarn start

To execute the e2e test of the API module, the mongodb service needs to exist locally.

# save your config
mv ~/.kube/config  ~/.kube/config.save

kind create cluster --image kindest/node:v1.18.15@sha256:5c1b980c4d0e0e8e7eb9f36f7df525d079a96169c8a8f20d8bd108c0d0889cc4 --name worker
kind get kubeconfig --name worker --internal > /tmp/worker.kubeconfig
kind get kubeconfig --name worker > /tmp/worker.client.kubeconfig

# restore your config
mv ~/.kube/config.save  ~/.kube/config

make e2e-apiserver-test
