Build Local
Building with local dependencies
The YuniKorn project has four repositories three of those repositories have a dependency at the go level. These dependencies are part of the go modules and point to the github repositories. During development it can be required to break the dependency on the committed version from github. This requires making changes in the module file to allow loading a local copy or a forked copy from a different repository.
Affected repositories
The following dependencies exist between the repositories:
| repository | depends on |
|---|---|
| yunikorn-core | yunikorn-scheduler-interface |
| yunikorn-k8shim | yunikorn-scheduler-interface, yunikorn-core |
| yunikorn-scheduler-interface | none |
| yunikorn-web | yunikorn-core |
The yunikorn-web repository has no direct go dependency on the other repositories. However any change to the yunikorn-core webservices can affect the web interface.
Making local changes
To make sure that the local changes will not break other parts of the build you should run:
- A full build
make(build target depends on the repository) - A full unit test run
make test
Any test failures should be fixed before proceeding.
Updating dependencies
The simplest way is to use the replace directive in the module file. The replace directive allows you to override the import path with a new (local) path.
There is no need to change any of the imports in the source code. The change must be made in the go.mod file of the repository that has the dependency.
Using replace to use of a forked dependency, such as:
replace github.com/apache/incubator-yunikorn-core => example.com/some/forked-yunikorn
There is no requirement to fork and create a new repository. If you do not have a repository you can use a local checked out copy too.
Using replace to use of a local directory as a dependency:
replace github.com/apache/incubator-yunikorn-core => /User/example/local/checked-out-yunikorn
and for the same dependency using a relative path:
replace github.com/apache/incubator-yunikorn-core => ../checked-out-yunikorn
Note: if the replace directive is using a local filesystem path, then the target must have the go.mod file at that location.
