Releases

In Kogito Tooling releases page you will find extensions and released tooling packages.

Build from source

1. Check out the source:

   git clone [email protected]:kiegroup/kogito-tooling.git
   

   If you don't have a GitHub account use this command instead:

   git clone https://github.com/kiegroup/kogito-tooling.git
   

2. Build with Yarn:

   cd kogito-tooling
   yarn run init
   
   #prod
   yarn run build:prod
   
   # dev
   yarn run build # skips integration tests and production packing
   yarn run build:fast # skips lint and unit tests

   NOTE: It's necessary to have the Git tags fetched when building with build:prod.

   Final artifacts will be on packages/*/dist directories.

Develop

NOTE: We recommend using LTS version of Node.js when developing this project. Our CI uses Node 12.16.3 and Yarn 1.19.1.

VS Code Extension

1. After you've successfully built the project following the instructions above, open the packages/vscode-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors folder on VS Code. Use a new VS Code window so that the packages/vscode-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors folder shows up as root in the VS Code explorer.
2. From there, you can Run the extension or the integration tests by using the Debug menu/section. You can also use the respective shortcuts (F5 to start debugging, for instance).
3. NOTE: To run the VS Code extension in development mode, you need webpack and webpack-cli to be globally installed on NPM. Normally you can do that with npm install -g [email protected] [email protected], but sudo may be required depending on your installation.
4. Remember! If you make changes to packages other than packages/vscode-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors, you have to manually rebuild them before relaunching the extension on VS Code.

Chrome Extension

1. After you've successfully built the project following the instructions above, open the packages/chrome-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors folder on your favourite IDE. You can import the entire repo as well if you want to make changes to other packages.
2. Run yarn build:fast on packages/chrome-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors. This will create a version of the Chrome Extension that fetches the envelope locally.
3. Open a terminal and run yarn run serve-envelope on packages/chrome-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors. This will start a webpack-dev-server instance with the editors and their envelope. We use that because we don't pack the Chrome Extension bundle with the editors inside. Instead, we fetch them from GitHub pages.
4. You also have to enable invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost in your browser. To do that, go to chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost in your Chrome browser and enable this flag. Alternativelly, you can go to https://localhost:9001 and add an exception.
5. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions. Enable "Developer mode" on the top right corner and click on "Load unpacked". Choose the packages/chrome-extension-pack-kogito-kie-editors/dist folder.
6. From now on you can use the development version of the extension. Remember! After each change, you have to rebuild the changed modules and hit the "Refresh" button of the extension card.

Online Editor

1. After you've successfully built the project following the instructions above, go to packages/online-editor.
2. Open a terminal and run yarn start. This will start a webpack-dev-server instance with the Online Editor resources.
3. From now on you can use the development version of the Online Editor by accessing https://localhost:9001.

Desktop and Hub

1. After you've successfully built the project following the instructions above, go to packages/desktop or packages/hub. They work exactly the same.
2. To start the application in development mode, you can run yarn start. If you make changes and want to reload the app, run yarn run build:fast && yarn start. This will recompile the module and restart the Electron app. Remember: if you make changes to other modules, you have to build them too!
3. To build and package the application for production (i.e. generating an executable), you can run yarn run build:prod. This will pack the application for the current OS. If you want to pack the application for a different OS, run yarn run pack:linux, for example. See package.json for more details.

Contribute

• When opening PRs, please make sure to provide a detailed description of the issue along with the JIRA, if there's one.
• If you are a member of kiegroup and want to test a change you made in our tooling, you can go to our Run FDB issue and make a comment following the format Build: {github-username}/{branch-name}. This will trigger a job that will fetch the forks (1) of {github-username}, merge {branch-name} into master, and build them. In a few seconds you should see a new comment on the same issue, saying that a new build was triggered for you. The GitHub Actions bot will also provide a link so you can follow the build logs and download artifacts, and another link to access an Online Editor instance (2) containing your changes, once it's finished running.

(1) This process considers the following repositories: droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap, kie-soup, appformer, kie-wb-common, drools-wb and kogito-tooling.

(2) The Online Editor instance will be accessible for 30 days.
