[#requirements]
== Requirements
* JDK 17+
* A modern Linux, OSX, or Windows host
[#building]
== Building the sources
You can build and verify the sources as follows:
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw verify
----
`verify` goal runs validation and test steps next to building (i.e., compiling) the sources.
To speed up the build, you can skip verification:
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw -DskipTests package
----
If you want to install generated artifacts to your local Maven repository, replace above `verify` and/or `package` goals with `install`.
[#dns]
=== DNS lookups in tests
Note that if your `/etc/hosts` file does not include an entry for your computer's hostname, then many unit tests may execute slow due to DNS lookups to translate your hostname to an IP address in `InetAddress.getLocalHost()`.
To remedy this, you can execute the following:
[source,bash]
----
printf '127.0.0.1 %s\n::1 %s\n' `hostname` `hostname` | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
----
[#docker]
=== Docker tests
Certain tests use Docker to spawn necessary external services.
Docker tests are configured using the `docker` Maven profile, which is activated by default for the CI environment.
You can locally enable this profile by passing a `-P docker` argument to your `./mvnw` commands.
[#website]
== Building the website
You can build the website as follows:
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw compile # <1>
./mvnw site # <2>
----
<1> Generate plugin descriptors that will be used to generate the plugin reference page.
Descriptors are placed under `target/plugin-descriptors`.
<2> Generate the website to `target/site`
You can view the generated website with a browser by pointing it to `target/site` directory.
[#development]
== Development
You can follow below steps for casual development needs:
. Make sure you installed everything:
+
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw install -DskipTests
----
. After making a change to, say, `log4j-core`, install your changes:
+
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw install -pl :log4j-core -DskipTests
----
. Run all tests associated with `log4j-core`:
+
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw test -pl :log4j-core-test
----
. Run a particular test:
+
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw test -pl :log4j-core-test -Dtest=FooBarTest
----
. Make sure all build checks (Spotless, Spotbugs, BND, RAT, etc.) succeed:
+
[source,bash]
----
./mvnw verify -DskipTests -pl :log4j-core,:log4j-core-test
----
[#development-ide-debug]
=== Debugging `./mvnw test` with IDE
You can connect your IDE to a `./mvnw test` run by
. Run `./mvnw test -pl :log4j-core-test -Dtest=FooBarTest -Dmaven.surefire.debug`
. Use _"Run > Attach to process"_ in IntelliJ IDEA
[#development-ci]
=== Activating CI profiles
There are certain Maven profiles activated only for CI.
As a consequence of this, you can observe certain CI failures that you can't reproduce locally.
To work around this, you can activate CI profiles by running Maven commands as follows:
[source,bash]
----
CI=true ./mvnw ...
----
[#development-faq-idea-plugin-not-found]
=== Compilation in IntelliJ IDEA fails with `java: plug-in not found: ErrorProne`
Try removing all _"Override compiler parameters per-module"_ entries in _"Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Java Compiler"_.
[#development-faq-idea-package-plugins]
=== Compilation in IntelliJ IDEA fails with `java: package org.apache.logging.log4j.plugins.test.validation.plugins does not exist`
We don't know how to fix this.
