This is a set of scripts and a container image to conveniently run tests for ArangoDB on linux. It only needs the fish shell, git and Docker installed on the system. For MacOSX it is possible to use the build and test commands without Docker.

Initial setup (Linux and MacOSX)

Once you have cloned this repo and have set up ssh-agent with a private key that is registered with github, the initial setup is as follows (in fish, so start a fish shell first if it is not your login shell):

cd oskar
source helper.fish
checkoutEnterprise             (or checkoutArangoDB if you do not have access)

This will pull the Docker image, start up a build and test container and clone the ArangoDB source (optionally including the enterprise code) into a subdirectory work in the current directory. It will also show its current configuration.

Initial setup (Windows)

Once you have cloned this repo and have set up C:\Users\#USERNAME#\.ssh with a private key that has access to https://github.com/arangodb/enterprise, the initial setup is as follows (in powershell, so start a powershell):

Set-Location oskar
Import-Module -Name .\helper.psm1
checkoutEnterprise

Choosing branches

Use

switchBranches devel devel

where the first devel is the branch of the main repository and the second one is the branch of the enterprise repository to checkout. This will check out the branches and do a git pull afterwards. You should not have local modifications in the repos because they could be deleted.

Building ArangoDB

You can then do

buildStaticArangoDB

and add cmake options if you need like for example:

buildStaticArangoDB -DTARGET_ARCHITECTURE=nehalem

The first time this will take some time, but then the configured ccache will make things a lot quicker. Once you have built for the first time you can do

makeStaticArangoDB

which does not throw away the build directory and should be even faster.

Building ArangoDB (Windows)

You can then do

buildStaticArangoDB

for a static build or

buildArangoDB

for a non-static build.

Choices for the tests

For the compilation, you can choose between maintainer mode switched on or off. Use maintainerOff or maintainerOn to switch.

Furthermore, you can switch the build mode between Debug and RelWithDebInfo, use the commands debugMode and releaseMode.

Finally, if you have checked out the enterprise code, you can switch between the community and enterprise editions using community and enterprise.

Use parallelism <number> to specify which argument to -j should be used in the make stage, the default is 64 on Linux and 8 on MacOSX. Under Windows this setting is ignored.

At runtime, you can choose the storage engine (use the mmfiles or rocksdb command), and you can select a test suite. Use the cluster, single or resilience command.

Finally, you can choose which branch or commit to use for the build with the command

switchBranches <REV_IN_MAIN_REPO> <REV_IN_ENTERPRISE_REPO>

Building and testing

Build ArangoDB with the current build options by issueing

buildStaticArangoDB

and run the tests with the current runtime options using

oskar

A report of the run will be shown on screen and a file with the current timestamp will be put into the work directory. Alternatively, you can combine these two steps in one by doing

oskar1

To run both single as well as cluster tests on the current configuration do

oskar2

To run both with both storage engines do

oskar4

and, finally, to run everything for both the community as well as the enterprise edition do

oskar8

The test results as well as logs will be left in the work directory.

Cleaning up

To erase the build directories and checked out sources, use

clearWorkDir

After that, essentially all resources used by oskar are freed again.

Reference Manual

switchBranches <REV_IN_MAIN_REPO> <REV_IN_ENTERPRISE_REPO>

Building

buildStaticArangoDB

build static versions of executables. MacOSX does not support this and will build dynamic executables instead.

buildArangoDB

build dynamic versions of the executables

maintainerOn
maintainerOff

switch on/off maintainer mode when building

debugMode
releaseMode

build Debug (debugMode) or RelWithDepInfo (releaseMode)

community
enterprise

build enterprise edition (enterprise) or community version (community)

parallelism <PARALLELSIM>

if supported, set numer of concurrent builds to PARALLELISM

Testing

Documentation

Packaging

makeRelease

creates all release packages.

Requirements

You need to set the following environment variables:

set -xg COMMUNITY_DOWNLOAD_LINK "https://download.arangodb.com"
set -xg ENTERPRISE_DOWNLOAD_LINK "https://download.arangodb.com"

The prefix for the link of the community and enterprise edition that is used to construct the download link in the sniplets.

set -xg DOWNLOAD_SYNC_USER username:password

A github user that can download the syncer executable from github.

Results

Under linux:

• RPM, Debian and tar.gz
• server and client
• community and enterprise
• html sniplets for debian, rpm, generic linux

Under MacOSX:

• DMG and tar.gz
• community and enterprise
• html sniplets for macosx
