This document contains notes about development and testing of Protocol Buffers Language Server.
- Go 1.13 (for development)
This project uses Bazel and also Bazelisk for build and test.
Bazelisk installs Bazel versioned by .bazelversion.
And Bazel controls the versions of Go, Protocol Buffers and something like that. Thus, you don't need to care about their versions and install them to build or test. To develop you need to use Go 1.13.
To build this project, run the following command. This builds it with Bazel.
$ make build
To test this project, run the following command. This tests it with Bazel.
$ make test
To update Go Modules, run the following command.
This updates go.mod and go.sum and then updates the related Bazel files.
$ make dep
The generated files, like .mock.go, are not controlled by Git.
And Bazel generates the files but the stuff is put into Bazel's sandbox.
As a result, the files don't appear in your editor or IDE.
To link generated files to your workspace and then make them appear in your editor or IDE, run the following command.
$ make expose-generated-go
