Building against Master
When developing a CorDapp, it is advisable to use the most recent Corda Milestone release, which has been extensively tested. However, if you need to use a very recent feature of the codebase, you may need to work against the unstable Master branch.
To work against the Master branch, proceed as follows:
Open a terminal window in the folder where you cloned the Corda repository (available here)
Use the following command to check out the latest master branch:
git fetch; git checkout master
Publish Corda to your local Maven repository using the following commands:
- Unix/Mac OSX:
./gradlew install
- Windows:
gradlew.bat install
By default, the Maven local repository is found at:
~/.m2/repository
on Unix/Mac OS X%HOMEPATH%\.m2
on Windows
This step is not necessary when using a Milestone releases, as the Milestone releases are published online
- Unix/Mac OSX:
Warning
If you do modify your local Corda repository after having published it to Maven local, then you must re-publish it to Maven local for the local installation to reflect the changes you have made.
Warning
As the Corda repository evolves on a daily basis, two clones of the Master branch at different points in time may differ. If you are using a Master release and need help debugging an error, then please let us know the commit you are working from. This will help us ascertain the issue.
