Developers Guide

This guide contains information for developers.

Running Scala Linter

mvn compile test-compile scalastyle:check scalafix:scalafix spotless:check

Working With the Managed Extension

This describes how to develop the extension for the Extension Manager.

Running Unit Tests

cd extension
npm install
npm run build && npm test

To run tests continuously each time a file is changed on disk (useful during development), start the following command:

npm run test-watch

Running Integration Tests With a Local Extension Manager

To use a local, non-published version of the extension manager during integration tests, first checkout the extension-manager. Then create file extension-test.properties in this project directory with the following content:

localExtensionManager = /path/to/extension-manager

This will build the extension manager from source and use the built executable for the integration tests.

Running Linter

To run static code analysis for the extension code, run

cd extension
npm run lint

Using a Local Extension Manager Interface

To use a local, non-published version of the extension manager interface during development, edit extension/package.json and replace the version of "@exasol/extension-manager-interface" with the path to your local clone of extension-manager-interface.

Then run npm install and restart your IDE.
