# Developing for NGINX Ingress Controller # Developing for NGINX Ingress Controller
This document explains how to get started with developing for NGINX Ingress controller. This document explains how to get started with developing for NGINX Ingress controller.
It includes how to build, test, and release ingress controllers.
## Prerequisites
Install [Go 1.14](https://golang.org/dl/) or later.
!!! note
The project uses [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules)
Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
!!! important
The majority of make tasks run as docker containers
## Quick Start ## Quick Start
### Getting the code
The code must be checked out as a subdirectory of k8s.io, and not github.com. 1. Fork the repository
2. Clone the repository to any location in your work station
3. Add a `GO111MODULE` environment variable with `export GO111MODULE=on`
4. Run `go mod download` to install dependencies
``` ### Local build
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/k8s.io
cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io
# Replace "$YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME" below with your github username
git clone https://github.com/$YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/ingress-nginx.git
cd ingress-nginx
```
### Initial developer environment build Start a local Kubernetes cluster using [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/), build and deploy the ingress controller
```
$ make dev-env
```
### Updating the deployment
The nginx controller container image can be rebuilt using:
```
$ ARCH=amd64 TAG=dev REGISTRY=$USER/ingress-controller make build image
```
The image will only be used by pods created after the rebuild. To delete old pods which will cause new ones to spin up:
```
$ kubectl get pods -n ingress-nginx
$ kubectl delete pod -n ingress-nginx ingress-nginx-controller-<unique-pod-id>
```
## Dependencies
The build uses dependencies in the `vendor` directory, which
must be installed before building a binary/image. Occasionally, you
might need to update the dependencies.
This guide requires you to install go 1.13 or newer.
This will automatically save the dependencies to the `vendor/` directory.
```console ```console
$ go get make dev-env
$ make dep-ensure
``` ```
## Building ### Testing
All ingress controllers are built through a Makefile. Depending on your **Run go unit tests**
requirements you can build a raw server binary, a local container image,
or push an image to a remote repository.
In order to use your local Docker, you may need to set the following environment variables:
```console ```console
# "gcloud docker" (default) or "docker" make test
$ export DOCKER=<docker>
# "quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller" (default), "index.docker.io", or your own registry
$ export REGISTRY=<your-docker-registry>
``` ```
To find the registry simply run: `docker system info | grep Registry` **Run unit-tests for lua code**
### Building the e2e test image
The e2e test image can also be built through the Makefile.
```console ```console
$ make -C test/e2e-image build make lua-test
``` ```
Then you can load the docker image using kind: Lua tests are located in the directory `rootfs/etc/nginx/lua/test`
!!! important
Test files must follow the naming convention `<mytest>_test.lua` or it will be ignored
**Run e2e test suite**
```console ```console
$ kind load docker-image --name="ingress-nginx-dev" nginx-ingress-controller:e2e make kind-e2e-test
``` ```
### Nginx Controller To limit the scope of the tests to execute, we can use the environment variable `FOCUS`
Build a raw server binary
```console
$ make build
```
[TODO](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/387): add more specific instructions needed for raw server binary.
Build a local container image
```console ```console
$ TAG=<tag> REGISTRY=$USER/ingress-controller make image FOCUS="no-auth-locations" make kind-e2e-test
``` ```
## Deploying !!! note
The variable `FOCUS` defines Ginkgo [Focused Specs](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/#focused-specs)
There are several ways to deploy the ingress controller onto a cluster. Valid values are defined in the describe definition of the e2e tests like [Default Backend](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/test/e2e/defaultbackend/default_backend.go#L29)
Please check the [deployment guide](./deploy/index.md)
## Testing The compleete list of tests can be found [here](e2e-tests.md)
To run unit-tests, just run ### Custom docker image
In some cases, it can be useful to build a docker image and publish such an image to a private or custom registry location.
This can be done setting two environment variables, `REGISTRY` and `TAG`
```console ```console
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/ingress-nginx export TAG="dev"
$ make test export REGISTRY="$USER"
make build image
``` ```
If you have access to a Kubernetes cluster, you can also run e2e tests using ginkgo. and then publish such version with
```console ```console
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/ingress-nginx docker push $REGISTRY/controller:$TAG
$ KIND_CLUSTER_NAME="ingress-nginx-test" make kind-e2e-test
``` ```
To set focus to a particular set of tests, a FOCUS flag can be set.
```console
KIND_CLUSTER_NAME="ingress-nginx-test" FOCUS="no-auth-locations" make kind-e2e-test
```
NOTE: if your e2e pod keeps hanging in an ImagePullBackoff, make sure you've made your e2e nginx-ingress-controller image available to minikube as explained in the **Building the e2e test image** section
To run unit-tests for lua code locally, run:
```console
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/ingress-nginx
$ ./rootfs/etc/nginx/lua/test/up.sh
$ make lua-test
```
Lua tests are located in `$GOPATH/src/k8s.io/ingress-nginx/rootfs/etc/nginx/lua/test`. When creating a new test file it must follow the naming convention `<mytest>_test.lua` or it will be ignored.
## Releasing
All Makefiles will produce a release binary, as shown above. To publish this
to a wider Kubernetes user base, push the image to a container registry, like
[gcr.io](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/). All release images are hosted under `gcr.io/google_containers` and
tagged according to a [semver](http://semver.org/) scheme.
An example release might look like:
```
$ make release
```
Please follow these guidelines to cut a release:
* Update the [release](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/)
page with a short description of the major changes that correspond to a given
image tag.
* Cut a release branch, if appropriate. Release branches follow the format of
`controller-release-version`. Typically, pre-releases are cut from HEAD.
All major feature work is done in HEAD. Specific bug fixes are
cherry-picked into a release branch.
* If you're not confident about the stability of the code,
[tag](https://help.github.com/articles/working-with-tags/) it as alpha or beta.
Typically, a release branch should have stable code.
