Setting up Your Development Environment

This page explains you how to set up your development environment.

Requirements

Before you start, install the following tools and packages:

• go (>= 1.11)
• golangci-lint
• kubectl (>= 1.14)
• kubebuilder
• minikube
• docker
• gcloud (Install beta components)
• sha1sum (for Mac brew install md5sha1sum)

Get sources

git clone https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s.git
cd cloud-on-k8s

Check prerequisites

Run make check-requisites to check that all dependencies are installed.

Development

1. Run make dependencies to download the Go libraries needed to compile the project.

2. Get a working development Kubernetes cluster. You can either use:

   Minikube

     make bootstrap-minikube
     # Sets up a Minikube cluster with required resources

   or GKE

   Make sure that container registry authentication is correctly configured as described here.

   export GCLOUD_PROJECT=my-project-id
   make bootstrap-gke
   # Sets up GKE cluster with required resources

3. Deploy the operator.

   • make run to run the operator locally, or make deploy to deploy the operators into the configured k8s cluster.
   • make samples to apply a sample stack resource.

Running E2E tests

E2E tests will run in the e2e-mercury and e2e-venus namespaces. Run make run to start the operator and then run make e2e-local in a separate shell to run the tests.
