A build tool is a set of tools that automate the process of testing, compiling, assembling, and packaging source code into executable software. Build tools are an essential part of the software development lifecycle, helping developers manage the complexity of building, testing, and deploying software.
For Uitsmijter we build a toolchain that help developers to set up the environment to work easily with the code. As easy it is to use Uitsmijter, it should also be easy for developers to work with the source code. We automate many repetitive and error-prone tasks and describe those in maintainable bash scripts.
Tooling collects a set of functions that build, lint, test, e2e test and run the project in a docker compose
environment and in a local test cluster provided by 🔗 kind. The setup uses fast
incremental builds and supports the developers to create a consistent workflow where questions can be clarified quickly
among each other.
Please use builds with the tooling setup only to request support. This tool ensures that errors can be traced and makes it easier for everyone to understand the request.
Tooling help to maintain consistency in the development and build process. Regardless of the developer’s machine or
the development environment, the build tool ensures that the software can be built and tested in a predictable manner.
If you are new to Uitsmijter development, code provides you with a ready-to-use IDE in your browser to get you started.

Whohoo that are a lot of options! Don’t panic! We’ll discuss each command in a second. But first let’s see how to use these options on command line.
Every option can be chained. Instead of build first and test then, like:
$ ./tooling.sh build
[...]
$ ./tooling.sh test
[...]
You may want to chain them together:
$ ./tooling.sh build test
You can add double hyphens or omit them ./tooling.sh --build is the same as ./tooling.sh build. Commands have a
long-hyphens and a short-hyphens form: ./tooling.sh --build is the same as ./tooling.sh -b. Depending on your taste
you can choose between: build, --build or -b which is all the same. In general, we recommend to use the command-
style (like: build) to call the build, but for scripting the automation tool it can be handy to have the other options
as well. In this documentation only command-style (without hyphens) will be used.
Removes the local Docker containers, images and volumes, as well as the local .build-cache.
./tooling.sh remove
Removing all images gives recovering your environment from all Uitsmijter related containers and enforce build to build
the sources from scratch.
After removing all corresponding images, build, test, e2e and code needs to pull the base images from the registry again.
Setup and build the project in a linux container for the current platform.
./tooling.sh build
After completion of the build, a Uitsmijter binary can be found in ./Deployment/Release/Linux/Uitsmijter. On macOS
this file is not very usable on the local machine, because it is made to run inside a docker-runtime.
The run command uses the build command to build a binaray that can be run in your local docker environment. The
tests compile the code with debug flags and the release command ensure that everything is build from scripts. To work
with tests or to run code changes on your local machine, build as a standalone command is not needed. Nevertheless,
build is a useful command that is often used while developing, because build builds the source code incremental and
it is the fastest way to check if the code can compile.
Before you try anything else, run build to see if the code is ready and can compile.
The first build will take a long time. After the first build is will take seconds, only.
Run 🔗 swiftlint on the project.
./tooling.sh lint
The Uitsmijter community strictly enforces code styles. All rules are defined in ./.swiftlint.yml. Code that violates
the rules can not be committed! To check if the code is clean to commit, run tooling.sh lint. In the case of errors
and warnings, there is a list of violations against the ruleset along the file and the line.
Before you commit a feature, run
lintto see that the commit would be accepted technically.
Uitsmijter source code have a lot of 🔗 UnitTests that covers a lot of
internal functions and ensure the functionality of them. New features that introduces new functions to the codebase
should also deliver new UnitTests. To run the test, swift test compiles the code incrementally and test all
test suites. After the test a coverage reports is generated.
./tooling.sh test
Besides the bespoken UnitTests, e2e runs end-to-end tests which can be found as shell scripts in /Tests/e2e/.
A local 🔗 kind k8s test cluster is started to run a production release of Uitsmijter along
a set of tenant and client test-configurations.
The test cluster runs the latest release build which can be reached via https://uitsmijter.localhost if no
other option is set. ./tooling.sh e2e is the same as ./tooling.sh release e2e.
./tooling.sh e2e
Building a full release from scratch, starting a cluster and run all e2e-tests takes a long time but is essential to
ensure that the release really works. Every developer should run at least one final e2e test on a fresh release. For
developing this can be annoying when a release-build takes up to 10 - 20 minutes (depending on the power of the
machine). The fact that e2e-tests should run on a fresh production release only (at least in the ci) is the reason that
this is the default for the e2e command. This can be lead in a very unproductive and frustrating day, obviously.
When working on the e2e-tests that is not a problem, becuase run-cluster starts Uitsmijter in a local cluster and
the e2e-tests can be executed locally while development. But if a developer need to check multiple times if a code
change fixes a test-assertion-error then building a full release every time is not going to work. Therefore, it is
possible to test on a dirty incremental build as well. Internally, instead of using a release for running the e2e
tests a build is used. This only takes seconds instead of multiple minutes. To use the incremental builds attach the
option --dirty to the command.
./tooling.sh e2e --dirty
Do never ever use a –dirty flag in a CI! The safety of a fresh (non cached) release is always more important than saving CI-hours. Use
--dirtyin your own workflow only.
Start the Uitsmijter server localy for testing in a docker environment. It can be reached at http://localhost:8080. The
run command executes a incremental build first, so runis the same as build run.
./tooling.sh run
The run command is usefully to check implementations that do not need further environments fast. It will run a
single docker container at the local machine and bind port 8080 to it. Run loads the default tenant and the default
client only. You may want to add more testing tenants at runtime to ./Resources/Configuration. The run command
binds this directory and auto-refreshes the configuration without a restart (hot reload).
To run a more sophisticated environment and to check the kubernetes features, a local cluster with a lot of preinstalled applications (tenants and clients) can run on the local machine as well. The tool chain uses 🔗 kind to set up a local k8s test cluster.
With the generated KUBECONFIG (located in ./.build/kubeconfig) kubectl can be used to operate the cluster.
The test cluster runs the latest release build which can be reached via https://uitsmijter.localhost. Again,
a release ensures that the production release is build from scratch first. This takes a lot of time. Because this is
not productive when developing features a --dirty option can be passed.
When run-cluster is executed, a list of test domains is output. To use these, they must be entered in the /etc/hosts
file. A list of domains and user/password combinations can be found on the dedicates test cluster page.
./tooling.sh run-cluster
is the equivalent for release run-cluster.
or
./tooling.sh run-cluster --dirty
is the equivalent for build run-cluster.
Build the release image which contains the Uitsmijter server without development tooling. Release build an official image and generates helm chats for that.
./tooling.sh release
It is not possible to run a
releasecommand with the--dirtyoption! A release is always a production artifact and ensures that is made from a non cached version.
The Uitsmijter Project contains 🔗 Helm templates. Use this command to package these charts into a
.tgz file that can be found at /Deployment/Release/uitsmijter-<version>-<build>-<hash>.tgz.
If you are contributing to the public open source project, you do not need to build the packages, but if you are using Uitsmijter in a private repository, you may want to maintain your own chats. This command will help you to maintain these chats.
./tooling.sh helm
In your CI you may want to use this in conjunction:
./tooling.sh test release helm
As an experienced developer who works a lot in and with Uitsmijter, you certainly have your preferred local development environment in which you like to work. The developers of the code all prefer other environments, whether Xcode, CLion, AppCode, Visual Studio Code, or vi. Uitsmijter does not tell you what to develop in.
We welcome you to participate in the development, and we know how challenging it can be to set up and adjust everything from the checkout of the project to the first commit. We want to make your experience as pleasant as possible and allow you to get a taste of the project without any effort. That’s why Uitsmijter provides you with a ready-to-run IDE with the code. This runs in your browser and has all the settings for coding, testing and debugging already preset. Of course, you can customize the look & feel and adapt it to your needs.
Just give it a try. Rumor has it that even project maintainers prefer to use this function for more and more tasks in the code.
./tooling.sh code
Note: Tests are slower in the IDE than via
./tooling.sh test, as they can only run on one worker. However, it is possible to execute individual tests and set breakpoints in the code.
The help command show a list of available commands and options.
./tooling.sh help
Docker compose scripts rely on images, especially for incremental builds and e2e testing. If the images already exist,
they are not rebuilt unless --rebuild is provided.
Rebuilding the images is highly recommended on continuous integration build servers, otherwise changes in the scripts
of the supported containers such as the e2e.Dockerfile will be ignored if an older
image is still present on the system where the build runner exists.
./tooling.sh e2e --rebuild
To see what the build tool is doing, pass --debug to the command. Debug outputs shows every command that the
automation scripts are doing onto the terminal output.
./tooling.sh build --debug
To speed up the local development it is not nessasarry to build a compleate release every time. In this case
a --diry option can be passed to e2e and run-cluster to use the incremental development build as a runtime images
for the cluster.
./tooling.sh e2e --dirty
The end-to-end tests are carried out in various browsers with desktop and mobile screen resolutions. This is of course good to be sure that Uitsmijter works flawlessly in different environments and that a high-quality version can be built. Nevertheless, during development it is sometimes necessary to run all e2e tests quickly. The parameter ‘fast’ restricts the execution to a browser with only one resolution.
./tooling.sh e2e --fast
The tooling.sh script uses dockerfiles located in Deployment/ and
the 🔗 docker-compose file at: Deployment/docker-compose.yml
We discussed every option of ./tooling.sh in this section but the best way to understand it and get familiar with the
functions is to use it. Follow this steps to see what it is doing by your own.
After checking out the code lets see the options first:

It first starts a local 🔗 redis in docker and then builds the runtime, if not present on your
machine. The runtime will link the Uitsmijter binary from the build step as a volume into the container.
Note that
runuses the Uitsmijter from the project/Deployment/Release/Linux directory as a Link. The Runtime did not have a baked in copy of the binary. Therefore run implicit uses abuildfirst.
Open your browser at https://localhost:8080/:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/versions
dirty
You see that you are not at a release and the version is dirty.
If you run Uitsmijter in a local cluster, the tooling scripts will build a release first. Let’s take the time and do
it for demonstration purpose:
$ ./tooling.sh run-cluster
Run release in local KubernetesInDocker
================================================================================
Build a fresh production release
================================================================================
[+] Building ...
Ok, honestly… time for a coffee.
Because run-cluster needs a release version and a helm package that can be deployd onto the cluster, the
full release will be run first. That takes a lot of time, because it will generate a docker image from scratch without
any caches. That includes:
- updating the docker image os
- downloading packages
- compile everything for testing
- running UnitTests
- recompile for production
- build a standalone runtime
- copy artifacts from one image to the other
Regardless how often release or run-cluster or e2e is called, it will always take the time to rebuild everything
from scratch to ensure a full atomically build deliverable that can’t be faked. If this works and an image is made
successfully, then it is ready to run on production servers.
The scripts are made with the ideas in mind, that it is possible to create a production release only with a valid version of the source code. There should be no way to accidentally release a broken version.
Back to output of run-cluster:
[...]
Checking requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
To run Kubernetes on your machine you need a few tools installed. The script checks for existence.
- kubectl
- helm
- gdate (on macOS only)
[...]

[...]
Setting up environment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
Setup Uitsmijter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
Uitsmijter will be installed from your production image build locally via helm.
run-cluster will also install some demo application that are used in the e2e tests, too:
⬇ Install application BNBC
--------------------------
[...]
⬇ Install application Ham
-------------------------
[...]
⬇ Install application Cheese
----------------------------
You can find information about the test applications at ./Tests/e2e/readme.md.
Cluster is running.
Add the following to your local /etc/hosts file.
127.0.0.1 api.example.com
127.0.0.1 [...] # and others
Press enter to stop the cluster
To use the test applications you have to add a lot of hosts to your local /etc/hosts file (or to your local DNS).
Ok, lets add them to /etc/hosts and fetch the version of Uitsmijter again:
$ curl -k https://uitsmijter.localhost/versions
0.9.2-135-g1dbcb33-dirty
As we write this documantation we are on Version 0.9.2 and we have some new or changed files in the git commit with the
hash g1dbcb33. Because the git status is not committed yet, a -dirty is attached to the version.
If we run ./tooling.sh without any command we will see that info too:
$ ./tooling.sh
Uitsmijter Tooling

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Branch: feature-UIT-422-improve-tooling | Version: 0.9.2-135-g1dbcb33 ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[...]
You see, that I am working in a git branch named feature/UIT-422-improve-tooling. The last commited tag was 0.9.2
and since then 135 commits are done. I am on revision g1dbcb33. This information is reflected in the version sting
returned by the /version route.
Now, because Uitsmijter is running iun Kubernetes, we kann use kubectl to control the deployment, the Tenant
and Client configuration, see, logs, test auto-scaling, and so on.
For example lets increase the running pods :
$ kubectl --kubeconfig=.build/kubeconfig get pods -n uitsmijter
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
redis-master-0 1/1 Running 0 14m
redis-slave-0 1/1 Running 0 14m
uitsmijter-authserver-6778757698-9b45w 1/1 Running 0 14m
we have one authserver up and running.
$ kubectl --kubeconfig=.build/kubeconfig scale --replicas=2 deployment/uitsmijter-authserver -n uitsmijter
deployment.apps/uitsmijter-authserver scaled
$ kubectl --kubeconfig=.build/kubeconfig get pods -n uitsmijter
uitsmijter-authserver-6778757698-9b45w 1/1 Running 0 19m
uitsmijter-authserver-6778757698-gs9xc 0/1 Running 0 7s
You may want to add new namespaces and add your own application.
Ok, as cool as this is, running a cluster with run-cluster needs a fresh production images that takes a lot of time.
Doing this is recomended when working on another application that just needs Uitsmijter. It is super unproductive if we
are working on Uitsmijter itself. Changeing one line of code and building a compleate fresh release is a 1:300 ratio.
Therefore, it is possible to run a cluster with a incremental build dirty version, like it is with the run command:
$ ./tooling run-cluster --dirty
Run release in local KubernetesInDocker
======================================================================================================================================================================================================================
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! 🟠BUILD A RELEASE WITH A DIRTY VERSION!! USE THIS FOR LOCAL TESTING ONLY !
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[...]
This compiles much faster after the first run. Lets see what the /version route is showing:
curl -k https://uitsmijter.localhost/versions
dirty
Which is exacltly what we’ve seen before in the run command. The only difference between run
and run-cluster --dirty is, that run starts uitsmijter in docker only, while run-cluster --dirty runs Uitsmijter
in a Kubernetes environment.
The different in the images between
runandrun-clusterare, that the runtime forrundoes not include the binary itself. To deploy an application onto kubernetes with helm we need a runtime that has uitsmijter baked in. That is why we copy Uitsmijter only optional into the runtime in./Deployment/Runtime.Dockerfile.
The pricipals of the --dirty flag should be clear now. You can apply the same thing to run e2e-tests. e2e alone
will build a new release every time. e2e --dirty uses the incremental build and bake it into a runtime that is used.
$ ./tooling.sh e2e --dirty
Run all e2e tests

In summary, the intention of the Tooling for Uitsmijter is to streamline the software development process by automating various tasks, maintaining consistency, and providing developers with a user-friendly command-line interface for efficiently building, testing, and managing the Uitsmijter project.
