## Continuous Integration
|
||||
|
||||
When a Pull Request is submitted, continuous integration jobs are run
|
||||
automatically to ensure the code builds and is relatively well-written. Checks
|
||||
are run on [Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/dendrite/) and
|
||||
[CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/matrix-org/dendrite/).
|
||||
|
||||
If a job fails, click the "details" button and you should be taken to the job's
|
||||
logs.
|
||||
|
||||
![Click the details button on the failing build step](docs/images/details-button-location.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Scroll down to the failing step and you should see some log output. Scan
|
||||
the logs until you find what it's complaining about, fix it, submit a new
|
||||
commit, then rinse and repeat until CI passes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Running CI Tests Locally
|
||||
|
||||
To save waiting for CI to finish after every commit, it is ideal to run the
|
||||
checks locally before pushing, fixing errors first. This also saves other
|
||||
people time as only so many PRs can be tested at a given time.
|
||||
|
||||
To execute what Buildkite tests, simply run `./scripts/build-test-lint.sh`.
|
||||
This script will build the code, lint it, and run `go test ./...` with race
|
||||
condition checking enabled. If something needs to be changed, fix it and then
|
||||
run the script again until it no longer complains. Be warned that the linting
|
||||
can take a significant amount of CPU and RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
CircleCI simply runs [Sytest](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest) with a test
|
||||
whitelist. See
|
||||
[docs/sytest.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/master/docs/sytest.md#using-a-sytest-docker-image)
|
||||
for instructions on setting it up to run locally.
