Development

This doc explains the development workflow so you can get started contributing to Kaniko!

Getting started

First you will need to setup your GitHub account and create a fork:

1. Create a GitHub account
2. Setup GitHub access via SSH
3. Create and checkout a repo fork

Once you have those, you can iterate on kaniko:

1. Run your instance of kaniko
2. Verifying kaniko builds
3. Run kaniko tests

When you're ready, you can create a PR!

Checkout your fork

The Go tools require that you clone the repository to the src/github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko directory in your GOPATH.

To check out this repository:

1. Create your own fork of this repo
2. Clone it to your machine:

mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/GoogleContainerTools
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/GoogleContainerTools
git clone git@github.com:${YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME}/kaniko.git
cd kaniko
git remote add upstream git@github.com:GoogleContainerTools/kaniko.git
git remote set-url --push upstream no_push

Adding the upstream remote sets you up nicely for regularly syncing your fork.

Verifying kaniko builds

Images built with kaniko should be no different from images built elsewhere. While you iterate on kaniko, you can verify images built with kaniko by:

1. Build the image using another system, such as docker build
2. Use container-diff to diff the images

Testing kaniko

kaniko has both unit tests and integration tests.

Unit Tests

The unit tests live with the code they test and can be run with:

make test

These tests will not run correctly unless you have checked out your fork into your $GOPATH.

Integration tests

The integration tests live in integration and can be run with:

export GCS_BUCKET="gs://<your bucket>"
export IMAGE_REPO="gcr.io/somerepo"
make integration-test

If you want to run make integration-test, you must override the project using environment variables:

• GCS_BUCKET - The name of your GCS bucket
• IMAGE_REPO - The path to your docker image repo

You can also run tests with go test, for example to run tests individually:

go test -v --bucket $GCS_BUCKET --repo $IMAGE_REPO -run TestLayers/test_layer_Dockerfile_test_copy_bucket

Requirements:

• gcloud
• gsutil
• container-diff
• A bucket in GCS which you have write access to via the user currently logged into gcloud
• An image repo which you have write access to via the user currently logged into gcloud

These tests will be kicked off by reviewers for submitted PRs.

Creating a PR

When you have changes you would like to propose to kaniko, you will need to:

1. Ensure the commit message(s) describe what issue you are fixing and how you are fixing it (include references to issue numbers if appropriate)
2. Create a pull request

Reviews

Each PR must be reviewed by a maintainer. This maintainer will add the kokoro:run label to a PR to kick of the integration tests, which must pass for the PR to be submitted.
