Development

Dependencies

To be able to build and execute code, either do the development in the docker container makeappdev/cpp-dev, which is made easy in Visual Studio Code:

1. Ensure that Docker is installed and running on your machine
2. Open this folder in VS Code
3. Install the Remote Development extension
4. Open the command palette (F1 on Windows, Shift+Ctrl+P on Linux)
5. Call Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container

If you don't want to develop inside a docker container, you can install the dependencies directly on your OS using

# Install apt packages
./install.sh

# Create a python venv (optional)
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install python dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

C++

mkdir -p build      # Create build dir
cd build            # Go to build dir
cmake ..            # CMake
make                # Build
make test           # Run Tests

pre-commit git hooks

Setup

We use pre-commit to manage our git pre-commit hooks. pre-commit is automatically installed from requirements.txt. To set it up, call

git config --unset-all core.hooksPath  # may fail if you don't have any hooks set, but that's ok
pre-commit install --overwrite

Usage

With pre-commit, you don't use your linters/formatters directly anymore, but through pre-commit:

pre-commit run --file path/to/file1.cpp tools/second_file.py  # run on specific file(s)
pre-commit run --all-files  # run on all files tracked by git
pre-commit run --from-ref origin/master --to-ref HEAD  # run on all files changed on current branch, compared to master
pre-commit run <hook_id> --file <path_to_file>  # run specific hook on specific file
