Building mapfish-print requires make and Docker.

Execute the following command():

> make build

This will build three artifacts: print-servlet-xxx.war, print-lib.jar, print-standalone.jar

The build also builds the documentation in the docs/build/site folder. To deploy the documentation it should simply be copied to the gh-pages branch and then committed GitHub will automatically build the updated site at: https://mapfish.github.io/mapfish-print/

If you only want to build the docs simply run:

> ./gradlew docs:build

or run build in the docs directory.

To be able to quickly test modifications in the print you should:

• Copy the file docker-compose.override.sample.yaml to docker-compose.override.yaml.
• Run docker compose up -d, The print will be available on port 8080 and on code modification will be built and trigger a restart.

• Update CHANGELOG.md
• Create a new branch name x.y from master.
• Create a new label names backport x.y in the right color (GitHub: Issues->Labels->New Label).
• Create a tag x.y.0.
• On the master branch: Update the SECURITY.md file, add a policy for the new and old version.
• On the master branch update the .github/workflows/rebuild.yaml file by adding the new branch name.
• On the master branch update the .github/workflows/audit.yaml file by adding the new branch name.

The following command will run the MapFish printer. The arguments must be supplied to the -PprintArgs="..." parameter.

To list all the command line options then execute (the current directory is ./core):

> ./gradlew print -PprintArgs="-help"

> ./gradlew print -PprintArgs="-config ../examples/src/test/resources/examples/simple/config.yaml -spec ../examples/src/test/resources/examples/simple/requestData.json -output ./output.pdf"

If you want to run in debug mode you can do the following:

> ./gradlew print --debug-jvm -PprintArgs="-config ../examples/src/test/resources/examples/simple/config.yaml -spec ../examples/src/test/resources/examples/simple/requestData.json -output ./output.pdf"

For the examples that use GeoServer you should run it in the composition, then build and start the composition:

make build
cp docker-compose.override.sample.yaml docker-compose.override.yaml
make acceptance-tests-up

Run the example:

docker-compose exec builder gradle print -PprintArgs="-config /src/examples/src/test/resources/examples/simple/config.yaml -spec /src/examples/src/test/resources/examples/simple/requestData.json -output /src/examples/output.pdf"

Create Eclipse project metadata:

> ./gradlew eclipse

Import project into Eclipse

• Create new Java Run Configuration
• Main class is org.mapfish.print.cli.Main
• Program arguments: -config samples/config.yaml -spec samples/spec.json -output $HOME/print.pdf
