Gerrit Code Review - Eclipse Setup
==================================
This document is about configuring Gerrit Code Review into an
Eclipse workspace for development and debugging with GWT.
Java 6 or later SDK is also required to run GWT's compiler and
runtime debugging environment.
Maven Plugin
------------
Install the Maven Integration plugins:
http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/download/[m2eclipse]
[[Formatting]]
Code Formatter Settings
-----------------------
Import `tools/GoogleFormat.xml` using Window -> Preferences ->
Java -> Code Style -> Formatter -> Import...
This will define the 'Google Format' profile, which the project
settings prefer when formatting source code.
Import Projects
---------------
Import the projects into Eclipse by going to File -> Import... -> Maven ->
Existing Maven Projects and selecting the directory containing pom.xml.
Some of the source code is generated with ANTLR sources. To build
these files, right click on the imported projects, Maven -> Update
Project Configuration. This will resolve compile errors identified
after import.
Site Initialization
-------------------
link:dev-readme.html#build[Build] once on the command line and
then follow link:dev-readme.html#init[Site Initialization] in the
Developer Setup guide to configure a local site for testing.
Testing
-------
Running the Daemon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duplicate the existing `pgm_daemon` launch configuration:
* Run -> Debug Configurations ...
* Java Application -> `pgm_daemon`
* Right click, Duplicate
* Modify the name to be unique.
* Switch to Arguments tab.
* Edit the `-d` program argument flag to match the path used during
'init'. The template launch configuration resolves to ../test_site
since that is what the documentation recommends.
* Switch to Common tab.
* Change Save as to be Local file.
[[hosted-mode]]
Running Hosted Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To debug the GWT code executing in the web browser, three additional Git
repositories need to be cloned.
* https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gwtexpui
* https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gwtjsonrpc
* https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gwtorm
In Eclipse, import the pom.xml file in the root directory of each of
these cloned gits via General -> Maven Projects.
Duplicate the existing `gwtui_dbg` launch configuration:
* Run -> Debug Configurations ...
* Java Application -> `gwtui_dbg`
* Right click, Duplicate
* Modify the name to be unique.
* Switch to Arguments tab.
* Edit the `-Dgerrit.site_path=` VM argument to match the path
used during 'init'. The template launch configuration resolves
to ../test_site since that is what the documentation recommends.
* Switch to Common tab.
* Change Save as to be Local file.
[[known-problems]]
Known problems
--------------
* When running Gerrit under the Eclipse debugger, code that attempts
to load Prolog code may erroneously raise ClassNotFoundException,
claiming that classes in the `Gerrit` package can't be found. The
error can often be resolved by rebuilding Gerrit with `mvn package`
and restarting the debug session.
* OpenID authentication won't work in hosted mode, so you need to change
the link:config-gerrit.html#auth.type[auth.type] configuration parameter
to `DEVELOPMENT_BECOME_ANY_ACCOUNT` to disable OpenID and allow you to
impersonate whatever account you otherwise would've used.
