# Mage
Vikunja uses [Mage](https://magefile.org/) to script common development tasks and even releasing.
Mage is a pure go solution which allows for greater flexibility and things like better parallelization.
This document explains what tasks are available and what they do.

## Installation
To use mage, you'll need to install the mage cli.
To install it, run the following command:
```
go install github.com/magefile/mage
```
## Categories
There are multiple categories of subcommands in the magefile:
* `build`: Contains commands to build a single binary
* `check`: Contains commands to statically check the source code
* `release`: Contains commands to release Vikunja with everything that's required
* `test`: Contains commands to run all kinds of tests
* `dev`: Contains commands to run development tasks
* `misc`: Commands which do not belong in either of the other categories
## CI
2021-05-17 10:53:12 +00:00
These tasks are automatically run in our CI every time someone pushes to main or you update a pull request:
2024-02-14 14:05:11 +00:00
* `mage lint`
* `mage build:build`
## Build
### Build Vikunja
```
2021-07-13 22:25:12 +00:00
mage build
```
2021-07-13 22:25:12 +00:00
Builds a `vikunja`-binary in the root directory of the repo for the platform it is run on.
### clean
```
mage build:clean
```
2021-07-13 22:25:12 +00:00
Cleans all build and executable files
## Check
All check sub-commands exit with a status code of 1 if the check fails.
Various code-checks are available:
2024-02-14 14:05:11 +00:00
* `mage check:all`: Runs golangci and swagger documentation check
* `mage lint`: Checks if the code follows the rules as defined in the `.golangci.yml` config file.
* `mage lint:fix`: Fixes all code style issues which are easily fixable.
## Release
### Build Releases
```
mage release
```
Builds binaries for all platforms and zips them with a copy of the `templates/` folder.
All built zip files are stored into `dist/zips/`. Binaries are stored in `dist/binaries/`,
binaries bundled with `templates` are stored in `dist/releases/`.
All cross-platform binaries built using this series of commands are built with the help of
[xgo](https://github.com/techknowlogick/xgo). The mage command will automatically install the
binary to be able to use it.
`mage release:release` is a shortcut to execute `mage release:dirs release:windows release:linux release:darwin release:copy release:check release:os-package release:zip`.
* `mage release:dirs` creates all directories needed
* `mage release:windows`/`release:linux`/`release:darwin` execute xgo to build for their respective platforms
* `mage release:copy` bundles binaries with a copy of the `LICENSE` and sample config files to then be zipped
* `mage release:check` creates sha256 checksums for each binary which will be included in the zip file
* `mage release:os-package` bundles a binary with the `sha256` checksum file, a sample `config.yml` and a copy of the license in a folder for each architecture
* `mage release:compress` compresses all build binaries with `upx` to save space
* `mage release:zip` packages a zip file for the files created by `release:os-package`
### Build os packages
```
mage release:packages
```
Will build `.deb`, `.rpm` and `.apk` packages to `dist/os-packages`.
### Make a debian repo
```
mage release:reprepro
```
Takes an already built debian package and creates a debian repo structure around it.
Used to be run inside a [docker container](https://git.kolaente.de/konrad/reprepro-docker) in the CI process when releasing.
## Test
### unit
```
mage test:unit
```
Runs all tests except integration tests.
### coverage
```
mage test:coverage
```
Runs all tests except integration tests and generates a `coverage.html` file to inspect the code coverage.
### integration
```
mage test:integration
```
Runs all integration tests.
## Dev
### Create a new migration
```
mage dev:create-migration
```
Creates a new migration with the current date.
Will ask for the name of the struct you want to create a migration for.
2021-07-13 22:25:12 +00:00
See also [migration docs]({{< ref "mage.md" >}}).
## Misc
### Format the code
```
mage fmt
```
Formats all source code using `go fmt`.
### Generate swagger definitions from code comments
```
mage do-the-swag
```
Generates swagger definitions from the comment annotations in the code.
