When using enkit in a downstream workspace, there are two options for loading Go dependencies:

• Call only //bazel:go_repositories%go_repositories from this repo, and use only those dependencies in the downstream repo. This works if Golang binaries only need to be built from this repo and not the downstream repo.

• Call //bazel:go_repositories%go_repositories after loading Golang dependencies in the downstream repo. This would ensure that:

  1. Go dependencies in the downstream repo obey that repo's go.mod version selection, rather than enkit's, for minimal surprises.

  2. enkit dependencies are loaded, for processes that require a complete dependency graph

  Note that building binaries from enkit loaded in a downstream repo in this manner will not necessarily match those built from this repo directly, as the downstream repo may be loading different versions of enkit's dependencies. This may cause build divergence and/or failures.

1. google-cloud-sdk

   • Install here https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install

     PLEASE NOTE: do not install using snap/brew/apt-get etc., as emulators do not work.

   • Run the following command to get access to the emulators:

     gcloud components install beta
     

   • Add the gcloud binary to the local binaries directory with the following symlink:

     ln -s $(which gcloud) /usr/local/bin
     

2. Get a service account from <x, Y, Z person>

   • Put it in //astore/testdata/credentials.json

• Running a specific go test target

  bazel test //astore:go_default_test
  

• Running specific test of a test file

  bazel test //astore:go_default_test --test_filter=^TestServer$
  

• Running Everything

  bazel test //...
  

• Remove all emulator spawned processes

  Sometimes emulator processes can be left behind after a test run. These can be cleaned up with:

  ps aux | grep gcloud/emulators/datastore | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
  

1. Create the test in * \_test.go

2. Run Gazelle:

   bazel run //:gazelle
   

3. If your test needs server dependencies, such as astore or minio, add the attribute local = True to the test rule.
