# Makefile
We scripted a lot of tasks used mostly for developing into the makefile. This documents explains what
taks are available and what they do.
## CI
These tasks are automatically run in our CI every time someone pushes to master or you update a pull request:
* `make lint`
* `make fmt-check`
* `make ineffassign-check`
* `make misspell-check`
* `make goconst-check`
* `make generate`
* `make build`
### clean
{{< highlight bash >}}
make clean
{{< /highlight >}}
Clears all builds and binaries.
### test
{{< highlight bash >}}
make test
{{< /highlight >}}
Runs all tests in Vikunja.
### Format the code
{{< highlight bash >}}
make fmt
{{< /highlight >}}
Formats all source code using `go fmt`.
#### Check formatting
{{< highlight bash >}}
make fmt-check
{{< /highlight >}}
Checks if the code needs to be formatted. Fails if it does.
### Build Vikunja
{{< highlight bash >}}
make build
{{< /highlight >}}
Builds a `vikunja`-binary in the root directory of the repo for the platform it is run on.
### Statically compile all templates into the binary
{{< highlight bash >}}
make generate
{{< /highlight >}}
This generates static code with all templates, meaning no template need to be referenced at runtime.
### Compress the built binary
{{< highlight bash >}}
make compress-build
{{< /highlight >}}
Go binaries are very big.
To make the vikunja binary smaller, we can compress it using [upx](https://upx.github.io/).
### Build Releases
{{< highlight bash >}}
make release
{{< /highlight >}}
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 make command will automatically install the
binary to be able to use it.
`make release` is actually just a shortcut to execute `make release-dirs release-windows release-linux release-darwin release-copy release-check release-os-package release-zip`.
* `release-dirs` creates all directories needed
* `release-windows`/`release-linux`/`release-darwin` execute xgo to build for their respective platforms
* `release-copy` bundles binaries with a copy of `templates/` to then be zipped
* `release-check` creates sha256 checksums for each binary which will be included in the zip file
* `release-os-package` bundles a binary with a copy of the `templates/` folder, the `sha256` checksum file, a sample `config.yml` and a copy of the license in a folder for each architecture
* `release-compress` compresses all build binaries, see `compress-build`
* `release-zip` makes a zip file for the files created by `release-os-package`
### Build debian packages
{{< highlight bash >}}
make build-deb
{{< /highlight >}}
Will build a `.deb` package into the current folder. You need to have [fpm](https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html) installed to be able to do this.
#### Make a debian repo
{{< highlight bash >}}
make reprepro
{{< /highlight >}}
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.
### Generate swagger definitions from code comments
{{< highlight bash >}}
make do-the-swag
{{< /highlight >}}
Generates swagger definitions from the comments in the code.
#### Check if swagger generation is needed
{{< highlight bash >}}
make got-swag
{{< /highlight >}}
This command is currently more an experiment, use it with caution.
It may bring up wrong results.
### Code-Checks
* `misspell-check`: Checks for commonly misspelled words
* `ineffassign-check`: Checks for ineffectual assignments in the code using [ineffassign](https://github.com/gordonklaus/ineffassign).
* `gocyclo-check`: Calculates cyclomatic complexities of functions using [gocyclo](https://github.com/fzipp/gocyclo).
* `static-check`: Analyzes the code for bugs, improvements and more using [staticcheck](https://staticcheck.io/docs/).
* `gosec-check`: Inspects source code for security problems by scanning the Go AST using the [gosec tool](https://github.com/securego/gosec).
* `goconst-check`: Finds repeated strings that could be replaced by a constant using [goconst](https://github.com/jgautheron/goconst/).
