Contributing

  1. File an issue. The issue will be used to discuss the bug or feature and should be created before sending a CL.

  2. Install Go.

    1. Ensure that your GOBIN directory (by default $(go env GOPATH)/bin) is in your PATH.
    2. Check it’s working by running go version.
      • If it doesn’t work, check the install location, usually /usr/local/go, is on your PATH.

  3. Sign one of the contributor license agreements below.

  4. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go

  5. Change into the checked out source: cd google-cloud-go

  6. Fork the repo.

  7. Set your fork as a remote: git remote add fork git@github.com:GITHUB_USERNAME/google-cloud-go.git

  8. Make changes, commit to your fork.

    Commit messages should follow the Conventional Commits Style. The scope portion should always be filled with the name of the package affected by the changes being made. For example:

    feat(functions): add gophers codelab

  9. Send a pull request with your changes.

    To minimize friction, consider setting Allow edits from maintainers on the PR, which will enable project committers and automation to update your PR.

  10. A maintainer will review the pull request and make comments.

    Prefer adding additional commits over amending and force-pushing since it can be difficult to follow code reviews when the commit history changes.

    Commits will be squashed when they’re merged.

Integration Tests

In addition to the unit tests, you may run the integration test suite. These directions describe setting up your environment to run integration tests for all packages: note that many of these instructions may be redundant if you intend only to run integration tests on a single package.

GCP Setup

To run the integrations tests, creation and configuration of two projects in the Google Developers Console is required: one specifically for Firestore integration tests, and another for all other integration tests. We’ll refer to these projects as “general project” and “Firestore project”.

After creating each project, you must create a service account for each project. Ensure the project-level Owner IAM role role is added to each service account. During the creation of the service account, you should download the JSON credential file for use later.

Next, ensure the following APIs are enabled in the general project:

Next, create a Datastore database in the general project, and a Firestore database in the Firestore project.

Finally, in the general project, create an API key for the translate API:

Local Setup

Once the two projects are created and configured, set the following environment variables:

Install the gcloud command-line tool to your machine and use it to create some resources used in integration tests.

From the project’s root directory:

# Sets the default project in your env.
$ gcloud config set project $GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID

# Authenticates the gcloud tool with your account.
$ gcloud auth login

# Create the indexes used in the datastore integration tests.
$ gcloud datastore indexes create datastore/testdata/index.yaml

# Creates a Google Cloud storage bucket with the same name as your test project,
# and with the Stackdriver Logging service account as owner, for the sink
# integration tests in logging.
$ gsutil mb gs://$GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID
$ gsutil acl ch -g cloud-logs@google.com:O gs://$GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID

# Creates a PubSub topic for integration tests of storage notifications.
$ gcloud beta pubsub topics create go-storage-notification-test
# Next, go to the Pub/Sub dashboard in GCP console. Authorize the user
# "service-<numberic project id>@gs-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
# as a publisher to that topic.

# Creates a Spanner instance for the spanner integration tests.
$ gcloud beta spanner instances create go-integration-test --config regional-us-central1 --nodes 10 --description 'Instance for go client test'
# NOTE: Spanner instances are priced by the node-hour, so you may want to
# delete the instance after testing with 'gcloud beta spanner instances delete'.

$ export MY_KEYRING=some-keyring-name
$ export MY_LOCATION=global
# Creates a KMS keyring, in the same location as the default location for your
# project's buckets.
$ gcloud kms keyrings create $MY_KEYRING --location $MY_LOCATION
# Creates two keys in the keyring, named key1 and key2.
$ gcloud kms keys create key1 --keyring $MY_KEYRING --location $MY_LOCATION --purpose encryption
$ gcloud kms keys create key2 --keyring $MY_KEYRING --location $MY_LOCATION --purpose encryption
# Sets the GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_KEYRING environment variable.
$ export GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_KEYRING=projects/$GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID/locations/$MY_LOCATION/keyRings/$MY_KEYRING
# Authorizes Google Cloud Storage to encrypt and decrypt using key1.
gsutil kms authorize -p $GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_PROJECT_ID -k $GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_KEYRING/cryptoKeys/key1

Running

Once you’ve done the necessary setup, you can run the integration tests by running:

$ go test -v cloud.google.com/go/...

Replay

Some packages can record the RPCs during integration tests to a file for subsequent replay. To record, pass the -record flag to go test. The recording will be saved to the _package_.replay file. To replay integration tests from a saved recording, the replay file must be present, the -short flag must be passed to go test, and the GCLOUD_TESTS_GOLANG_ENABLE_REPLAY environment variable must have a non-empty value.
