Guide to upgrading dependencies

Upgrading Go or Node.js requires making changes in many different files. See below for a list and explanation for each.

Go

  • CircleCi
  • grafana/build-container
  • Appveyor
  • Dockerfile

Node.js

  • CircleCI
  • grafana/build-container
  • Appveyor
  • Dockerfile

Go dependencies

The Grafana project uses Go modules to manage dependencies on external packages. This requires a working Go environment with version 1.11 or greater installed.

Note: Since most developers of Grafana still use the GOPATH we need to specify GO111MODULE=on to make go mod and got get work as intended. If you have setup Grafana outside of the GOPATH on your machine you can skip GO111MODULE=on when running the commands below.

To add or update a new dependency, use the go get command:

# The GO111MODULE variable can be omitted when the code isn't located in GOPATH.
# Pick the latest tagged release.
GO111MODULE=on go get example.com/some/module/pkg

# Pick a specific version.
GO111MODULE=on go get example.com/some/module/pkg@vX.Y.Z

Tidy up the go.mod and go.sum files:

# The GO111MODULE variable can be omitted when the code isn't located in GOPATH.
GO111MODULE=on go mod tidy

You have to commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum before submitting the pull request.

Node.js dependencies

Updated using yarn.

  • package.json

Where to make changes

CircleCI

Our builds run on CircleCI through our build script.

Files

  • .circleci/config.yml.

Dependencies

  • nodejs
  • golang
  • grafana/build-container (our custom docker build container)

grafana/build-container

The main build step (in CircleCI) is built using a custom build container that comes pre-baked with some of the necessary dependencies.

Link: grafana/build-container

Dependencies

  • fpm
  • nodejs
  • golang
  • crosscompiling (several compilers)

Appveyor

Master and release builds trigger test runs on Appveyors build environment so that tests will run on Windows.

Files:

  • appveyor.yml

Dependencies

  • nodejs
  • golang

Dockerfile

There is a Docker build for Grafana in the root of the project that allows anyone to build Grafana just using Docker.

Files

  • Dockerfile

Dependencies

  • nodejs
  • golang

Local developer environments

Please send out a notice in the grafana-dev slack channel when updating Go or Node.js to make it easier for everyone to update their local developer environments.
