Contributing

1. Fork the project, then clone it

   git clone https://github.com/reubenmiller/go-c8y-cli.git
   

2. Optional: If you have existing .cumulocity sessions folder, then you can copy the files into the local directory so that they are available for use during development

   cd go-c8y-cli
   
   # bash/zsh
   mkdir -p .cumulocity
   cp -R ~/.cumulocity/ .cumulocity/
   

3. Open the project in Microsoft VS Code (using Dev Containers - this requires Docker!)

   code go-c8y-cli
   
   # When prompted, build and open the dev container
   

4. Run initial setup tasks so that you can run c8y inside the dev container

   task init-setup
   

5. Add or edit a command specification (.yaml file) in api/spec/yaml/. The specifications are used to auto generate the go code

6. Run the code generation and build the go binary

   task generate build-snapshot-single
   
   # reload your shell
   zsh
   

7. Try out the newly built binary (it should already be added to your)

   Shell

   c8y currentuser get
   

   PowerShell

   task generate build-powershell
   
   pwsh
   Import-Module ./tools/PSc8y/dist/PSc8y -Force
   Get-CurrentUser
   

Building the documentation

1. Update the auto generated cli docs (if you have changed something)

   task docs
   

2. Launch the documentation preview

   task gh-pages
   

3. View the documentation in the browser

2. Set the c8y session that you want to use for the tests

   set-session
   

Run test on example code

The examples included in the API specification can be validated by running the follow make task.
