Building

You need either Docker and make (Method 1), or go (Method 2) in order to build traefik. For changes to its dependencies, the glide dependency management tool and glide-vc plugin are required.

Method 1: Using Docker and Makefile

You need to run the binary target. This will create binaries for Linux platform in the dist folder.

$ make binary
docker build -t "traefik-dev:no-more-godep-ever" -f build.Dockerfile .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 295.3 MB
Step 0 : FROM golang:1.7
 ---> 8c6473912976
Step 1 : RUN go get github.com/Masterminds/glide

docker run --rm  -v "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" -it -e OS_ARCH_ARG -e OS_PLATFORM_ARG -e TESTFLAGS -v "/home/emile/dev/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik/"dist":/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik/"dist"" "traefik-dev:no-more-godep-ever" ./script/make.sh generate binary

$ ls dist/
traefik*

Method 2: Using go

Setting up your go environment
  • You need go v1.7+
  • It is recommended you clone Træfik into a directory like ~/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik (This is the official golang workspace hierarchy, and will allow dependencies to resolve properly)
  • This will allow your GOPATH and PATH variable to be set to ~/go via:
$ export GOPATH=~/go
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

This can be verified via $ go env

  • You will want to add those 2 export lines to your .bashrc or .bash_profile
  • You need go-bindata to be able to use go generate command (needed to build) : $ go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/... (Please note, the ellipses are required)

Setting up glide and glide-vc for dependency management

  • Glide is not required for building; however, it is necessary to modify dependencies (i.e., add, update, or remove third-party packages)
  • Glide can be installed either via homebrew: $ brew install glide or via the official glide script: $ curl https://glide.sh/get | sh
  • The glide plugin glide-vc must be installed from source: go get github.com/sgotti/glide-vc

If you want to add a dependency, use $ glide get to have glide put it into the vendor folder and update the glide manifest/lock files (glide.yaml and glide.lock, respectively). A following glide-vc run should be triggered to trim down the size of the vendor folder. The final result must be committed into VCS.

Dependencies for the integration tests in the integration folder are managed in a separate integration/glide.yaml file using the same toolset.

Care must be taken to choose the right arguments to glide when dealing with either main or integration test dependencies, or otherwise risk ending up with a broken build. For that reason, the helper script script/glide.sh encapsulates the gory details and conveniently calls glide-vc as well. Call it without parameters for basic usage instructions.

Here's a full example:

# install the new main dependency github.com/foo/bar and minimize vendor size
$ ./script/glide.sh get github.com/foo/bar
# install another dependency, this time for the integration tests
$ ( cd integration && ../script/glide.sh get github.com/baz/quuz )
# generate
# (required to merge non-code components into the final binary, such as the web dashboard and provider's Go templates)
$ go generate
# Standard go build
$ go build
# Using gox to build multiple platform
$ gox "linux darwin" "386 amd64 arm" \
    -output="dist/traefik_{{.OS}}-{{.Arch}}" \
    ./cmd/traefik
# run other commands like tests

Updating the templates

If you happen to update the provider templates (in /templates), you need to run go generate to update the autogen package.

Tests

Method 1: Docker and make

You can run unit tests using the test-unit target and the integration test using the test-integration target.

$ make test-unit
docker build -t "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" -f build.Dockerfile .
# […]
docker run --rm -it -e OS_ARCH_ARG -e OS_PLATFORM_ARG -e TESTFLAGS -v "/home/vincent/src/github/vdemeester/traefik/dist:/go/src/github.com/containous/traefik/dist" "traefik-dev:your-feature-branch" ./script/make.sh generate test-unit
---> Making bundle: generate (in .)
removed 'gen.go'

---> Making bundle: test-unit (in .)
+ go test -cover -coverprofile=cover.out .
ok      github.com/containous/traefik   0.005s  coverage: 4.1% of statements

Test success

For development purposes, you can specify which tests to run by using:

# Run every tests in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite" make test-integration

# Run the test "MyTest" in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite.MyTest" make test-integration

# Run every tests starting with "My", in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite.My" make test-integration

# Run every tests ending with "Test", in the MyTest suite
TESTFLAGS="-check.f MyTestSuite.*Test" make test-integration

Method 2: go
  • Tests can be run from the cloned directory, by $ go test ./... which should return ok similar to:
ok      _/home/vincent/src/github/vdemeester/traefik    0.004s

Documentation

The documentation site is built with mkdocs

First make sure you have python and pip installed

$ python --version
Python 2.7.2
$ pip --version
pip 1.5.2

Then install mkdocs with pip

$ pip install mkdocs

To test documentation locally run mkdocs serve in the root directory, this should start a server locally to preview your changes.

$ mkdocs serve
