Building

Setup

To configure build dependencies, run the following command:

git submodule update --init -- build-logic

To always get the latest version of the build logic during git operations, set the following configuration:

git config submodule.recurse true

For more information see README.md of cloud-native-gradle-modules.

Additionally, if you are on Windows, read the sonar-go-to-slang/README.md instructions.

Build

Build and run Unit Tests:

./gradlew build

`

Integration Tests

By default, Integration Tests (ITs) are skipped during builds. If you want to run them, you need first to retrieve the related projects which are used as input:

git submodule update --init

Then build and run the Integration Tests using the integrationTest task:

    ./gradlew integrationTest --info --no-daemon

You can also build and run only Ruling Tests:

./gradlew :its:ruling:integrationTest --info --no-daemon
