Information for confluent-kafka-go developers

Whenever librdkafka error codes are updated make sure to run generate before building:

  $ make -f mk/Makefile generr
  $ go build ./...

Testing

Some of the tests included in this directory, the benchmark and integration tests in particular, require an existing Kafka cluster and a testconf.json configuration file to provide tests with bootstrap brokers, topic name, etc.

The format of testconf.json is a JSON object:

{
  "Brokers": "<bootstrap-brokers>",
  "Topic": "<test-topic-name>"
}

See testconf-example.json for an example and full set of available options.

To run unit-tests:

$ go test

To run benchmark tests:

$ go test -bench .

For the code coverage:

$ go test -coverprofile=coverage.out -bench=.
$ go tool cover -func=coverage.out

Build tags (static linking)

Different build types are supported through Go build tags (-tags ..), these tags should be specified on the application build command.

  • static - Build with librdkafka linked statically (but librdkafka dependencies linked dynamically).
  • static_all - Build with all libraries linked statically.
  • neither - Build with librdkafka (and its dependencies) linked dynamically.

Generating HTML documentation

To generate one-page HTML documentation run the mk/doc-gen.py script from the top-level directory. This script requires the beautifulsoup4 Python package.

$ source .../your/virtualenv/bin/activate
$ pip install beautifulsoup4
...
$ make -f mk/Makefile docs

Release process

For each release candidate and final release, perform the following steps:

Install librdkafka

Make sure the librdkafka version installed is the version this release is aimed to be used with.

E.g., confluent-kafka-go v1.3.0 will require librdkafka v1.3.0.

Update librdkafka version requirement

Update the minimum required librdkafka version in kafka/00version.go and README.md.

Update error codes

Error codes can be automatically generated from the current librdkafka version.

Update generated error codes:

$ make -f mk/Makefile generr
# Verify by building

Rebuild everything

$ go clean -i ./...
$ go build ./...

Run full test suite

Set up a test cluster using whatever mechanism you typically use (docker, trivup, ccloud, ..).

Make sure to update kafka/testconf.json as needed (broker list, $BROKERS)

Run test suite:

$ go test ./...

Verify examples

Manually verify that the examples/ applications work.

Also make sure the examples in README.md work.

Convert any examples using github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka to use gopkg.in/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go.v1/kafka import path.

$ find examples/ -type f -name *\.go -exec sed -i -e 's|github\.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka|gopkg\.in/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go\.v1/kafka|g' {} +

Commit any changes

Make sure to push to github before creating the tag to have CI tests pass.

Create and push tag

$ git tag v1.3.0
$ git push --dry-run origin v1.3.0
# Remove --dry-run and re-execute if it looks ok.
