Using Buildkite

Buildkite simply runs docker containers. So it is easy to perform the same build locally that BuildKite will do.

Testing the build locally

To run tests locally use docker-compose run command in develop/buildkite directory:

cd develop/buildkite
docker-compose run <container_name> <command>

Get <container_name> and <command> form pipeline.yml:

  - label: ":golang: integration test with cassandra"
    agents:
      queue: "default"
      docker: "*"
    command: "make integration-test-coverage"    # command to run in container
    artifact_paths:
      - "build/coverage/*.out"
    retry:
      automatic:
        limit: 1
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#v3.1.0:
          run: integration-test-cassandra        # container name
          config: docker-compose.yml

For example to run unit tests:

docker-compose run unit-test make unit-test-coverage

or run integration tests with Cassandra:

docker-compose run integration-test-cassandra make integration-test-coverage

or run integration tests with MySQL:

docker-compose run integration-test-mysql make integration-test-coverage

Testing the build in Buildkite

Creating a PR against the master branch will trigger the Buildkite build. Members of the Temporal team can view the build pipeline here: https://buildkite.com/temporal/temporal-server.

Eventually this pipeline should be made public. It will need to ignore third party PRs for safety reasons.
