The cdo tool can then be used to perform the tasks described in the following sections.

Help about tasks:

cdo

tools - Install the required tools

Contributing will require the use of some tools, which can be installed most easily with a well-configured eget tool.

eget mikefarah/yq
eget atombender/go-jsonschema
eget szkiba/mdcode
eget golangci/golangci-lint
eget goreleaser/goreleaser

schema - Update schema and generate code

After modifying registry schema (registry.schema.json), the registry_gen.go file must be regenerated.

curl -s -o internal/registry/registry.schema.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/k6-extension-registry/main/registry.schema.json
go-jsonschema --capitalization URL --capitalization OSS -p registry --only-models -o internal/registry/registry_gen.go internal/registry/registry.schema.json

readme - Update README.md

After changing the CLI tool or example registry, the documentation must be updated in README.md.

go run ./tools/gendoc README.md

lint - Run the linter

The golangci-lint tool is used for static analysis of the source code. It is advisable to run it before committing the changes.

golangci-lint run

test - Run the tests

go test -count 1 -race -coverprofile=coverage.txt ./...

coverage - View the test coverage report

Requires : test

go tool cover -html=coverage.txt

build - Build the executable binary

This is the easiest way to create an executable binary (although the release process uses the goreleaser tool to create release versions).

go build -ldflags="-w -s" -o k6dist ./cmd/k6dist

snapshot - Creating an executable binary with a snapshot version

The goreleaser command-line tool is used during the release process. During development, it is advisable to create binaries with the same tool from time to time.

rm -f k6registry
goreleaser build --snapshot --clean --single-target -o k6dist

docker - Build docker image

Building a Docker image. Before building the image, it is advisable to perform a snapshot build using goreleaser. To build the image, it is advisable to use the same Docker.goreleaser file that goreleaser uses during release.

Requires : snapshot

docker build -t k6dist -f Dockerfile.goreleaser .

clean - Delete the build directory

rm -rf build

update - Update everything

The most robust thing is to update everything (both the schema and the example) after modifying the source.

Requires : schema, readme
