This plugin can be built with Bazel, and two build modes are supported:
Standalone build mode is recommended, as this mode doesn't require local Gerrit tree to exist. Moreover, there are some limitations and additional manual steps required when building in Gerrit tree mode (see corresponding sections).
To build the plugin, issue the following command:
bazel build @PLUGIN@
The output is created in
bazel-genfiles/@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
Clone or link this plugin to the plugins directory of Gerrit's source tree. Put the external dependency Bazel build file into the Gerrit /plugins directory, replacing the existing empty one.
cd gerrit/plugins rm external_plugin_deps.bzl ln -s @PLUGIN@/external_plugin_deps.bzl .
From Gerrit source tree issue the command:
bazel build plugins/@PLUGIN@
The output is created in
bazel-genfiles/plugins/@PLUGIN@/@PLUGIN@.jar
This project can be imported into the Eclipse IDE: Add the plugin name to the CUSTOM_PLUGINS and to the CUSTOM_PLUGINS_TEST_DEPS set in Gerrit core in tools/bzl/plugins.bzl, and execute:
./tools/eclipse/project.py
To execute the tests run:
bazel test --test_tag_filters=@PLUGIN@
How to build the Gerrit Plugin API is described in the Gerrit documentation.
