gwt-maven plugin natively supports -Dgwt.style, so we don't need to handle this ourselves. Change-Id: I9c9e262bf04dc23026649e8b2e103a209d4b4922 Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <sop@google.com>

Gerrit Code Review - Developer Setup
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Apache Maven is needed to compile the code, and a SQL database
|
|
to house the review metadata. H2 is recommended for development
|
|
databases, as it requires no external server process.
|
|
|
|
Get the Source
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Create a new client workspace:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/tools/gerrit.git
|
|
cd gerrit
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring Eclipse
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
To use the Eclipse IDE for development, please see
|
|
link:dev-eclipse.html[Eclipse Setup] for more details on how to
|
|
configure the workspace with the Maven build scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[build]]
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
From the command line:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
mvn package
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Output executable WAR will be placed in:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
gerrit-war/target/gerrit-*.war
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
On Mac OS X ensure "Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Upate 4" (or later) has
|
|
been installed, and that `JAVA_HOME` is set to
|
|
"/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home".
|
|
Check the installed version by running `java -version` and looking
|
|
for 'build 1.6.0_13-b03-211'. Versions of Java 6 prior to this
|
|
version crash during the build due to a bug in the JIT compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[init]]
|
|
Site Initialization
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
After compiling (above), run Gerrit's 'init' command to create a
|
|
testing site for development use:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
java -jar gerrit-war/target/gerrit-*.war init -d ../test_site
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Accept defaults by pressing Enter until 'init' completes, or add
|
|
the '\--batch' command line option to avoid them entirely. It is
|
|
recommended to change the listen addresses from '*' to 'localhost' to
|
|
prevent outside connections from contacting the development instance.
|
|
|
|
The daemon will automatically start in the background and a web
|
|
browser will launch to the start page, enabling login via OpenID.
|
|
|
|
Shutdown the daemon after registering the administrator account
|
|
through the web interface:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
../test_site/bin/gerrit.sh stop
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Running the Daemon
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The daemon can be directly launched from the build area, without
|
|
copying to the test site:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
java -jar gerrit-war/target/gerrit-*.war daemon -d ../test_site
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Querying the Database
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The embedded H2 database can be queried and updated from the
|
|
command line. If the daemon is not currently running:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
java -jar gerrit-war/target/gerrit-*.war gsql -d ../test_site
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Or, if it is running and the database is in use, connect over SSH
|
|
using an administrator user account:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
ssh -p 29418 user@localhost gerrit gsql
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debugging JavaScript
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When debugging browser specific issues use `-Dgwt.style=DETAILED`
|
|
so the resulting JavaScript more closely matches the Java sources.
|
|
This can be used to help narrow down what code line 30,400 in the
|
|
JavaScript happens to be.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
mvn package -Dgwt.style=DETAILED
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release Builds
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
To create a release build for a production server, or deployment
|
|
through the download site:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
./tools/release.sh
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
Client-Server RPC
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The client-server RPC implementation is gwtjsonrpc, not the stock RPC
|
|
system that comes with GWT. This buys us automatic XSRF protection.
|
|
It also makes all of the messages readable and writable by any JSON
|
|
implementation, facilitating "mashups" and 3rd party clients.
|
|
|
|
The programming API is virtually identical, except service interfaces
|
|
extend RemoteJsonService instead of RemoteService.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why GWT?
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
We like it. Plus we can write Java code once and run it both in
|
|
the browser and on the server side.
