Developing

Running Tests

Note: All the following tests are included in the CI and you can submit a Pull Request directly to hand over the work.

To run unit tests, use following command

go test ./...

To run code linter, make sure golangci-lint is installed. Then use following command

golangci-lint run

integration_tests can run against a real TiKV cluster. Here is an example:

./pd-server &
sleep 5
./tikv-server &
sleep 10
cd integration_tests
go test --with-tikv

Test with TiDB

It is a common task to update client-go and then test it with TiDB.

If you only need to test locally, you can directly use the modified client-go on the same host by replacing:

go mod edit -replace=github.com/tikv/client-go/v2=/path/to/client-go

If you want to push your TiDB code to GitHub for running CI or for code review, you need to change the client-go used by TiDB to your developing branch using the following steps:

go get -d github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2@DEV_BRANCH
# Output:
# go get: github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2@none updating to
#         github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2@v2.0.0-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX: parsing go.mod:
#         module declares its path as: github.com/tikv/client-go/v2
#                 but was required as: github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2
go mod edit -replace=github.com/tikv/client-go/v2=github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/client-go/v2@v2.0.0-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
go mod download github.com/tikv/client-go/v2
