Build

This plugin is built with Bazel. To install Bazel, follow the instruction on: https://www.bazel.io/versions/master/docs/install.html.

Two build modes are supported:

  • Standalone
  • In Gerrit tree

Standalone build mode is recommended, as this mode doesn't require local Gerrit tree to exist.

Build standalone

To build the plugin, issue the following command:

  bazel build @PLUGIN@.jar

The output is created in

  bazel-bin/@PLUGIN@.jar

To package the plugin sources run:

  bazel build lib@PLUGIN@__plugin-src.jar

The output is created in:

  bazel-bin/lib@PLUGIN@__plugin-src.jar

To execute the tests run:

  bazel test //...

This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE:

  ./tools/eclipse/project.sh

Put the external dependency Bazel build file into the Gerrit /plugins directory, replacing the existing empty one.
