Submariner strives to be an open, welcoming community. Substantial tooling is provided to ease the contribution experience.
Submariner provides a standard, shared environment for both development and CI that is maintained in the Shipyard project.
Learn more about working with Shipyard here.
Submariner provides a set of Make targets for building and testing in the standard development environment.
To run all linting:
make lint There are also Make targets for each type of linting:
make gitlint golangci-lint markdownlint yamllint See the linter configuration files at the root of each repository for details about which checks are enabled.
Note that a few linters only run in CI via GitHub Actions and are not available in the standard development environment.
To run Go unit tests:
make unit To build the Go binaries provided by a repository:
make build To package those Go binaries into container images:
make images Note that Submariner will automatically rebuild binaries and images when they have been modified and are required by tests.
To prune all Submariner-provided images, ensuring they will be rebuilt or pulled the next time they’re required:
make prune-images If you’re using kind to test your changes, you can rebuild the images and reload them using a single command:
make reload-images The command can restart the pods in order for the new images to take effect. To restart all pods:
make reload-images restart=all To restart a specific pod, use the image name without the submariner- prefix, e.g.
make reload-images restart=gateway To run functional end-to-end tests with a full multi-cluster deployment:
make e2e Different types of deployments can be configured with using flags:
make e2e using=helm,globalnet The cable driver used to connect clusters can also be selected with using flags:
make e2e using=vxlan In order to deploy clusters with OVN Kubernetes, the following command can be used:
make e2e using=ovn See Shipyard’s Makefile.inc for the currently-supported using flags.
Additional Ginkgo flags can be passed using the TEST_ARGS flag.
For example, a subset of tests can be selected with Ginkgo’s focus flags:
make e2e TEST_ARGS='--ginkgo.focus=dataplane' Alternatively, it’s possible to skip test(s) using Ginkgo’s skip flag:
make e2e TEST_ARGS='--ginkgo.skip=dataplane' To create a multi-cluster deployment and install Submariner but not run tests:
make deploy To create a multi-cluster deployment without Submariner:
make clusters To clean up a multi-cluster deployment from one of the previous commands:
make clean-clusters To jump into a shell in Submariner’s standard development environment:
make shell
