Building CorDapps against a non-release branch
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
It is advisable to develop CorDapps against the most recent Corda stable release. However, you may need to build a CorDapp
|
|
against an unstable non-release branch if your CorDapp uses a very recent feature, or you are using the CorDapp to test a PR
|
|
on the main codebase.
|
|
|
|
To work against a non-release branch, proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the `Corda repository <https://github.com/corda/corda>`_
|
|
|
|
2. Check out the branch or commit of the Corda repository you want to work against
|
|
|
|
3. Make a note of the ``gradlePluginsVersion`` in the root ``constants.properties`` file of the Corda repository
|
|
|
|
4. Clone the `Corda Gradle Plugins repository <https://github.com/corda/corda-gradle-plugins>`_
|
|
|
|
5. Check out the tag of the Corda Gradle Plugins repository corresponding to the ``gradlePluginsVersion``
|
|
|
|
6. Follow the instructions in the readme of the Corda Gradle Plugins repository to install this version of the Corda Gradle plugins locally
|
|
|
|
7. Open a terminal window in the folder where you cloned the Corda repository
|
|
|
|
8. Publish Corda to your local Maven repository using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
* Unix/Mac OSX: ``./gradlew install``
|
|
* Windows: ``gradlew.bat install``
|
|
|
|
.. 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 an unstable branch at different points in
|
|
time may differ. If you are using an unstable 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.
|
|
|
|
9. Make a note of the ``corda_release_version`` in the root ``build.gradle`` file of the Corda repository
|
|
|
|
10. In your CorDapp's root ``build.gradle`` file:
|
|
|
|
* Update ``ext.corda_release_version`` to the ``corda_release_version`` noted down earlier
|
|
* Update ``corda_gradle_plugins_version`` to the ``gradlePluginsVersion`` noted down earlier
