[[development-environment]]
= Development Environment

TinkerPop is fairly large body of code spread across many modules and covering multiple programming languages. Despite
this complexity, it remains relatively straightforward a project to build. This following subsections explain how to
configure a development environment for TinkerPop.

image:conspiracy.png[]

[[system-configuration]]
== System Configuration

At a minimum, development of TinkerPop requires link:https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8/[Java 8] but it is
preferable to use link:https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/11/[Java 11] cross-compiled to Java 8 (the
cross-compilation happens automatically as part of the build). Maven (requiring a minimum of
link:https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi[Maven 3.3.9+]) is used as the common build system, which even
controls the builds of non-JVM link:https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/x.y.z/reference/#gremlin-drivers-variants[GLVs]
such as `gremlin-python`. Java and Maven are described as a "minimum" for a development environment, because they
will only build JVM portions of TinkerPop and many integration tests will not fire with this simple setup. It is
possible to get a clean and successful build with this minimum, but it will not be possible to build non-JVM aspects
of the project and those will go untested.

To gain the ability to execute all aspects of the TinkerPop build system, other environmental configurations must be
established. Those prerequisites are defined in the following subsections.

As of TinkerPop 3.5.5, environment configuration for Gremlin Language Variants can be optional, as Docker becomes a
system requirement to build and test GLVs inside of Maven. Please make sure Docker is installed and running on your system.
You will need to install both link:https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/[Docker Engine] and
link:https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/[Docker Compose], which are included in
link:https://docs.docker.com/desktop/[Docker Desktop].

IMPORTANT: Use Java 11 for documentation generation with `bin/process-docs.sh` and for other build features outside
of the basic `mvn clean install` sort of function.

IMPORTANT: For those who intend to offer a contribution, building with a minimal configuration may not be sufficient
when submitting a pull request. Consider setting up the full environment.

TIP: Consider using link:https://sdkman.io/[SDKMAN!] to manage Java and Maven versions and environments.

NOTE: For those using Windows, efforts have been made to keep the build OS independent, but, in practice, it is likely
that TinkerPop's build system will only allow for a minimum build at best. +
 +
 Refer to <<building-on-windows>> section for more details.
 
[[groovy-environment]]
=== Groovy Environment

Groovy is not used in the standard build, but when generating documentation it does require the loading of a Gremlin
Console instance. The Gremlin Console is Groovy-based and the documentation bootstrapping loads TinkerPop plugins
which requires proper configuration of Graph/Ivy dependency loaders as described in the
link:https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/x.y.z/reference/#gremlin-applications[Gremlin Applications Section] of the
Reference Documentation.

The base configuration described in that link may need to be modified if there is a desire to work with the Gremlin
Console (for documentation generation or just general testing) in a way that utilizes SNAPSHOT releases in the
Apache Snapshots Repository. In that case, the `grapeConfig.xml` will need to include a resolver for that repository
and the basic Ivy configuration will look as follows:

[source,xml]
----
<ivysettings>
  <settings defaultResolver="downloadGrapes"/>
  <resolvers>
    <chain name="downloadGrapes" returnFirst="true">
      <filesystem name="cachedGrapes">
        <ivy pattern="${user.home}/.groovy/grapes/[organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
        <artifact pattern="${user.home}/.groovy/grapes/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"/>
      </filesystem>
      <ibiblio name="localm2" root="${user.home.url}/.m2/repository/" checkmodified="true" changingPattern=".*" changingMatcher="regexp" m2compatible="true"/>
      <ibiblio name="jcenter" root="https://jcenter.bintray.com/" m2compatible="true"/>
      <ibiblio name="ibiblio" m2compatible="true"/>
      <ibiblio name="apache-snapshots" root="http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/" m2compatible="true"/>
    </chain>
  </resolvers>
</ivysettings>
----

The above configuration is just a modification of the default. Perhaps the most lean common configuration might just
be:

[source,xml]
----
<ivysettings>
  <settings defaultResolver="downloadGrapes"/>
  <resolvers>
    <chain name="downloadGrapes">
      <ibiblio name="local" root="file:${user.home}/.m2/repository/" m2compatible="true"/>
      <ibiblio name="central" root="https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/" m2compatible="true"/>
    </chain>
  </resolvers>
</ivysettings>
----

In the above case, the configuration largely relies on the standard Maven builds to create a well cached `.m2`
directory. Under typical development circumstances, SNAPSHOT will find themselves deployed there locally and that
is all that will be required for Grape to do its work.

As a final word, it is important to take note of the order used for these references as Grape will check them in the order
they are specified and depending on that order, an artifact other than the one expected may be used which is typically
an issue when working with SNAPSHOT dependencies.

[[documentation-environment]]
=== Documentation Environment

The documentation generation process is not Maven-based and uses shell scripts to process the project's asciidoc. The
scripts should work on Mac and Linux.

TIP: We recommend performing documentation generation on Linux. For the scripts to work on Mac, you will need to
install GNU versions of the utility programs via `homebrew`, e.g.`grep`, `awk`, `sed`, `findutils`, and `diffutils`.

To generate documentation, it is required that link:https://hadoop.apache.org[Hadoop 2.7.x] is running in
link:https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.7/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html#Pseudo-Distributed_Operation[pseudo-distributed]
mode. Be sure to set the `HADOOP_GREMLIN_LIBS` environment variable as described in the
link:https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/x.y.z/reference/#hadoop-gremlin[reference documentation]. It is also important
to set the `CLASSPATH` to point at the directory containing the Hadoop configuration files, like `mapred-site.xml`.

The `/etc/hadoop/yarn-site.xml` file prefers this configuration over the one provided in the Hadoop documentation
referenced above:

[source,xml]
----
<configuration>
    <property>
        <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
        <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <name>yarn.nodemanager.vmem-check-enabled</name>
        <value>false</value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <name>yarn.nodemanager.vmem-pmem-ratio</name>
        <value>4</value>
    </property>
</configuration>
----

Also note that link:http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html[awk] version `4.0.1` is required for documentation generation.
The link:https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/x.y.z/recipes/#olap-spark-yarn[YARN recipe] also uses the `zip` program to
create an archive so that needs to be installed, too, if you don't have it already.

Documentation can be generated locally with:

[source,text]
bin/process-docs.sh

Documentation is generated to the `target/docs` directory. It is also possible to generate documentation locally with
Docker. `docker/build.sh -d`.

NOTE: The installation of plugins sometimes fails in this step with the error: `Error grabbing grapes - download
failed`. It often helps in this case to delete the directories for the dependencies that cannot be downloaded
in the `.m2` (`~/.m2/`) and in the `grapes` (`~/.groovy/grapes/`) cache. E.g., if the error is about
`asm#asm;3.2!asm.jar`, then remove the `asm/asm` sub directory in both directories.

To generate the web site locally, there is no need for any of the above infrastructure. Site generation is a simple
shell script:

[source,text]
bin/generate-home.sh

The site will be generated to the `target/site/home` directory.

[[python-environment]]
=== Python Environment

As of TinkerPop 3.2.2, the build optionally requires link:https://www.python.org/[Python] to build the `gremlin-python`
module. If Python is not installed, TinkerPop will still build with Maven, but native Python tests and
Java tests that require Python code will be skipped. Developers should also install link:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip[pip]
and link:https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/[virtualenv] (version 15.0.2 - older versions may cause build failures).

The build expects Python a `python3` installation which should be 3.5.3 or better. Python also tests kerberos and
therefore requires:

[source,text]
sudo apt install libkrb5-dev krb5-user

As of TinkerPop 3.5.5, `gremlin-python` uses Docker for all tests inside of Maven, and Python installation will not be required to
run `gremlin-python` through Maven. Please make sure Docker is installed and running on your system.

Once the Python environment is established, the full building and testing of `gremlin-python` may commence. It
can be done manually from the command line with:

[source,text]
mvn clean install -Pglv-python

which enables the "glv-python" Maven profile or in a more automated fashion simply add a `.glv` file to the root of the
`gremlin-python` module which will signify to Maven that the environment is Python-ready. The `.glv` file need not have
any contents and is ignored by Git. A standard `mvn clean install` will then build `gremlin-python` in full.

The `.glv` file in `gremlin-python` also activates the "console-integration-tests" Maven profile to run gremlin-console
integration tests. Alternatively, this profile can be activated manually. Note that unlike `gremlin-python` the tests
are actually integration tests and therefore must be actively switched on with `-DskipIntegrationTests=false`:

[source,text]
mvn clean install -pl gremlin-console -DskipIntegrationTests=false

TIP: For those who do not have a full Maven environment, please see <<docker-integration,this section>> for how Docker
can be used to help run tests.

TIP: Consider use of link:https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/[pyenv] to better manage Python versions and environments.

See the <<release-environment,Release Environment>> section for more information on release manager configurations.

[[dotnet-environment]]
=== DotNet Environment

The build optionally requires link:https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download[.NET SDK] (>=6.0) to work with the
`gremlin-dotnet` module. If .NET SDK is not installed, TinkerPop will still build with Maven, but .NET projects
will be skipped.

As of TinkerPop 3.5.5, `gremlin-dotnet` uses Docker for running all test projects inside of Maven, and .NET SDK will not
be required to run `gremlin-dotnet` tests through Maven. Please make sure Docker is installed and running on your system.

`gremlin-dotnet` can be built and tested from the command line with:

[source,text]
mvn clean install -Pgremlin-dotnet

which enables the "gremlin-dotnet" Maven profile or in a more automated fashion simply add a `.glv` file to the `src`
and `test` directories of the `gremlin-dotnet` module which will signify to Maven that the environment is .NET-ready.
The `.glv` file need not have any contents and is ignored by Git. A standard `mvn clean install` will then build
`gremlin-dotnet` in full.

In order to pack the Gremlin.Net.Template project, it is also necessary to install link:http://www.mono-project.com/[Mono].
The template can still be built and tested without Mono but packing will be skipped.
To pack the template (which will also download the link:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/nuget-exe-cli-reference[NuGet CLI tool])
the `nuget` property has to be set:

[source,text]
mvn clean install -Dnuget

TIP: For those who do not have a full Maven environment, please see <<docker-integration,this section>> for how Docker
can be used to help run tests.

See the <<release-environment,Release Environment>> section for more information on release manager configurations.

[[nodejs-environment]]
=== JavaScript Environment

When building `gremlin-javascript`, mvn command will include a local copy of Node.js runtime and npm inside your project
using `com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin` plugin. This copy of the Node.js runtime will not affect any
other existing Node.js runtime instances in your machine.

To run the development and build scripts of `gremlint` and its corresponding web page `docs/gremlint`, Node.js and npm
have to be installed. When generating or publishing the TinkerPop website, the `docs/gremlint` web page has to be
built. Consequently, the scripts `bin/generate-home.sh` and `bin/publish-home.sh` require that Node.js and npm are
installed. Version 8.x or newer of npm is required. This is covered in more detail in the <<site,Site>> section.

As of TinkerPop 3.5.5, `gremlin-javascript` uses Docker for all tests inside of Maven. Please make sure Docker is
installed and running on your system.

IMPORTANT: Beware of unexpected or unwanted changes on `package-lock.json` files when committing and merging. 

TIP: For those who do not have a full Maven environment, please see <<docker-integration,this section>> for how Docker
can be used to help run tests.

TIP: Consider using link:https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm[nvm] to manage node.js versions and environments.

See the <<release-environment,Release Environment>> section for more information on release manager configurations.

[[go-environment]]
=== Go Environment

The build optionally requires link:https://go.dev/dl/[Go] (>=1.20) to work with the `gremlin-go` module. Creating an
empty `.glv` file will enable running of tests inside of Maven. If `.glv` file does not exist, TinkerPop
will still build with Maven, but Go projects will be skipped.

`gremlin-go` can be built and tested from the command line with:

[source,text]
mvn clean install -pl gremlin-go

Alternatively, after installing Go, `gremlin-go` can be built from the command line with:

[source,text]
go build

Docker allows you to test the driver without installing any dependencies. The following command can be used to run docker:

[source,text]
docker-compose up --exit-code-from gremlin-go-integration-tests

See the <<release-environment,Release Environment>> section for more information on release manager configurations.

[[docker-environment]]
=== Docker Environment

The build optionally requires Docker to build Docker images of Gremlin Server and Gremlin Console. The Docker images
can be built from the command line with:

[source,text]
----
mvn clean install -pl gremlin-server,gremlin-console -DdockerImages
----

which enables the "docker-images" Maven profile.

As of TinkerPop 3.5.5, a docker image of the Gremlin Server will be built automatically with `mvn clean install`, which
is use for GLV tests inside of Docker. To skip building this image, append the `-DskipImageBuild` flag to Maven commands.

[[release-environment]]
=== Release Environment

This section is only useful to TinkerPop release managers and describes prerequisites related to deploying an official
release of TinkerPop.

Maven needs to be configured to deploy maven artifacts. Apache LDAP credentials can be used for this. Release
managers should encrypt their Apache LDAP password as described
link:https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html[in the Apache Maven docs].
The encrypted password can then be configured in the `settings.xml` as described in the section
link:https://infra.apache.org/publishing-maven-artifacts.html["Set up your development environment" of this Apache Infra article].
This configuration will be used by `mvn deploy`.

For Python releases, uploading to pypi uses link:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twine[twine] which is automatically
installed by the build process in maven. Twine refers to `HOME/.pypirc` file for configuration on the pypi deploy
environments and username and password combinations. The file typically looks like this:

[source,text]
----
[distutils]
index-servers=
    pypi
    pypitest

[pypitest]
username = <username>
password =

[pypi]
username = <username>
password =
----

The approach above assumes basic authentication and a blank password will in `.pyirc` will have Maven prompt for a
password. That said, it is preferred that your account be secured with 2FA, in which case, basic authentication will
no longer be allowed. Instead, an API token is required. It can be generated under your
link:https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/[account settings] and then the username in `.pyirc` is set to `__token__`
and the password to the token value. Please see link:https://pypi.org/help/#apitoken[PyPI documentation] for more
details.

For .NET releases, install link:http://www.mono-project.com/[Mono]. The release process is known to work with 6.12.0,
so it is best to probably install that version. Release managers should probably also do an install of
link:https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/v3.4.4/nuget.exe[nuget 3.4.4] as it will help with environmental setup.
To get an environment ready to deploy to NuGet, it is necessary to have a NuGet API key. First, create an account with
link:https://www.nuget.org[nuget] and request that a PMC member add your account to the Gremlin.Net and
the Gremlin.Net.Template package in nuget so that you can deploy. Next, generate an API key for your account on the
nuget website. The API key should be added to `NuGet.Config` with the following:

[source,text]
----
mono nuget.exe setApiKey [your-api-key]
----

This should update `~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config` a file with an entry containing the encrypted API key. On
`mvn deploy`, this file will be referenced on the automated `nuget push`.

To deploy JavaScript / TypeScript artifacts on the link:https://www.npmjs.com[npm registry], the release manager must
set the authentication information on the ~/.npmrc file. The easiest way to do that is to use the `npm adduser`
command. This must be done only once, as the auth token doesn't have an expiration date and it's stored on your file
system. If this account is newly created then request that a PMC member add your account to the "gremlin" package on
npm.

Deploying Docker images to link:https://hub.docker.com/[Docker Hub] requires an account that is a member of the TinkerPop
organization. So if you don't already have an account on Docker Hub then create one and request that
a PMC member adds your account to the TinkerPop organization. Afterwards, authentication information needs to be added to
the `~/.docker/config.json` file. This information can simply be added with the `docker login` command which will ask for
credentials. This must be done only once. Finally, `docker push` can be used to push images to Docker Hub which will
be done automatically on `mvn deploy` or it can be triggered manually with `mvn docker:push`.

[[building-testing]]
== Building and Testing

The following commands are a mix of Maven flags and shell scripts that handle different build operations

* Build project: `mvn clean install`
** Build a specific module (e.g. `gremlin-server`) within the project: `mvn clean install -pl gremlin-server`
** Build without assertions for "iterator leaks" which are enabled by default: `mvn clean install -DtestIteratorLeaks=false`
** Specify specific tests in a TinkerPop Suite to run with the `GREMLIN_TESTS` environment variable, along with the
Maven project list argument, e.g.:
+
----
export GREMLIN_TESTS='org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.step.map.PathTest$Traversals,org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.PathTest'
mvn -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true --projects tinkergraph-gremlin test
----
** Clean the `.groovy/grapes/org.apache.tinkerpop` directory on build: `mvn clean install -DcleanGrapes`
** Turn off "heavy" logging in the "process" tests: `mvn clean install -DargLine="-DmuteTestLogs=true"`
** The test suite for `neo4j-gremlin` is disabled by default - to turn it on: `mvn clean install -DincludeNeo4j`
* Generate <<building-testing,test resources>> for `gremlin-io-test`: `mvn clean install -pl :gremlin-io-test -Dio`
* Regenerate toy graph data (only necessary given changes to IO classes): `mvn clean install -Dio` from `tinkergraph-gremlin` directory
** If there are changes to the Gryo format, it may be necessary to generate the Grateful Dead dataset from GraphSON (see `IoDataGenerationTest.shouldWriteGratefulDead`)
* Start Gremlin Server with Docker using the standard test configuration: `docker/gremlin-server.sh`
* Check license headers are present: `mvn apache-rat:check`
* Build AsciiDocs (see <<documentation-environment,Documentation Environment>>): `bin/process-docs.sh`
** Build AsciiDocs (but don't evaluate code blocks): `bin/process-docs.sh --dryRun`
** Build AsciiDocs (but don't evaluate code blocks in specific files): `bin/process-docs.sh --dryRun docs/src/reference/the-graph.asciidoc,docs/src/tutorial/getting-started,...`
** Build AsciiDocs (but evaluate code blocks only in specific files): `bin/process-docs.sh --fullRun docs/src/reference/the-graph.asciidoc,docs/src/tutorial/getting-started,...`
** Process a single AsciiDoc file: +pass:[docs/preprocessor/preprocess-file.sh `pwd`/gremlin-console/target/apache-tinkerpop-gremlin-console-*-standalone "" "*" `pwd`/docs/src/xyz.asciidoc]+
* Build JavaDocs/JSDoc: `mvn process-resources -Djavadoc`
** Javadoc to `target/site/apidocs` directory
** JSDoc to the `gremlin-javascript/src/main/javascript/gremlin-javascript/doc/` directory
* Specify the seed used for `Random` in tests `mvn clean install -DtestSeed` - useful when a test fails, the seed will be printed in the build output so that the test can run with the same version of random (look for "TestHelper" logger in output)
* Check for newer dependencies: `mvn versions:display-dependency-updates` or `mvn versions:display-plugin-updates`
* Check the effective `pom.xml`: `mvn -pl gremlin-python -Pglv-python help:effective-pom -Doutput=withProfilePom.xml`
* Deploy JavaDocs/AsciiDocs: `bin/publish-docs.sh svn-username`
* Integration Tests: `mvn verify -DskipIntegrationTests=false`
** Execute with the `-DincludeNeo4j` option to include transactional tests.
** Execute with the `-DuseEpoll` option to try to use Netty native transport (works on Linux, but will fallback to Java NIO on other OS).
* Benchmarks: `mvn verify -DskipBenchmarks=false`
** Reports are generated to the console and to `gremlin-tools/gremlin-benchmark/target/reports/benchmark`.
* Test coverage report: `mvn clean install -Dcoverage` - note that the `install` is necessary because report aggregation is bound to that part of the lifecycle.
** Reports are generated to `gremlin-tools/gremlin-coverage/target/site`.
* `cd site`
** Generate web site locally: `bin/generate-home.sh`
** Publish web site: `bin/publish-home.sh <username>`

[[building-on-windows]]
== Building On Windows

The following steps must be taken in order to build TinkerPop on Windows:

. Install winutils for Hadoop
* Download the latest version of link:https://github.com/kontext-tech/winutils[winutils] binaries for Hadoop. The binaries `winutils.exe` and `hadoop.dll` are required.
** Note that these libraries require Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 to be installed. We've tested it on Windows 10 and Windows 11 with Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 14.32.31326.
* Place contents of the bin folder on your local driver in the following folder structure:
** e.g. `hadoop-3.3.1/bin/winutils.exe`
* Set `HADOOP_HOME` to point to the `hadoop-3.3.1` folder
* Add `%HADOOP_HOME%\bin` to your `PATH`
. Run `mvn clean install` from root of tinkerpop
. Follow IDE specific steps if applicable:
* <<intellij>>

You should now be able to work with TinkerPop on Windows.

[[docker-integration]]
== Docker Integration

TinkerPop provides a shell script, that can start several build tasks within a Docker container. The
required Docker images will be built automatically if they don't exist yet. Thus the first invocation
of the Docker script is expected to take some time.

The script can be found under `PROJECT_HOME/docker/build.sh`. The following tasks are currently
supported:

* run standard test suite
* run integration tests
* build Java docs
* build user docs

A list of command line options is provided by `docker/build.sh --help`. The container will install,
configure and start all required dependencies, such as Hadoop.

By default, this script will run every module in the project. However, if you are planning on working on just a
small set of the modules (e.g. the GLVs) then you can use the script options to reduce the modules included by
specifically selecting which modules you want. This behavior is currently supported for the non-Java GLVs and
gremlin-console. This option will include only the selected modules as well as gremlin-server, gremlin-test,
neo4j-gremlin and all their dependencies. This is the minimum set of modules required to build and test the GLVs.

[source,bash]
.Build and test gremlin-python and gremlin-go with minimal Gremlin Server dependencies
----
./docker/build.sh --tests --integration-tests --python --golang
----

Options can be passed to Docker by setting the `TINKERPOP_DOCKER_OPTS` environment variable. A speed boost can
be gained at the expense of memory by using tmpfs and the special directory `/usr/src/tinkermem`.

[source,bash]
.Build in-memory
----
TINKERPOP_DOCKER_OPTS="--tmpfs /usr/src/tinkermem:exec,mode=0755,rw,noatime,size=2000m"
----

[source,bash]
.Disable IPv6 for Hadoop
----
TINKERPOP_DOCKER_OPTS="--sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1"
----

A custom maven settings.xml can be supplied, for example, to point to a local proxy. Copy the `settings.xml` to the
`PROJECT_HOME/` directory. The Docker script will detect and copy it to the running container.

If the container is used to generate the user docs, it will start a web server and show the URL that
is used to host the HTML docs.

After finishing all tasks, the script will immediately destroy the container.

Docker can also be helpful to developers who do not want to run tests from a Maven environment, which may be a bit
opaque when dealing with test failures and largely unhelpful for debugging. This situation is typically case for
developers doing work on Gremlin Language Variants (e.g. Python). To help alleviate this problem, developers can
start a standalone Gremlin Server with its standard test configuration that is used in the standard Maven build.

Generally speaking, most developers will want to test their code against the latest build of Gremlin Server in the
TinkerPop repository. To do that, first be sure to build a Docker image of the current code:

[source,bash]
mvn clean install -DskipTests

Next, generate the a Docker image for Gremlin Server with:

[source,bash]
mvn clean install -pl :gremlin-server -DdockerImages -DskipTests

IMPORTANT: If changes are made to the repository that need to be reflected in the Gremlin Server Docker image then
the old image should be removed and then the above commands re-executed.

Finally, start the server with:

[source,bash]
docker/gremlin-server.sh

Starting Gremlin Server this way makes it possible to run Gremlin Language Variant tests without Maven (for example,
directly from a debugger) which should greatly reduce development friction for these environments.

It is also possible to specify the exact version of Gremlin Server to run with the test configuration. This version
should be an existing Docker image version and must be an explicit version that maps to an actual TinkerPop artifact:

[source,bash]
docker/gremlin-server.sh 3.4.2

To be a bit more clear, the version can not be a Docker tag like "latest" because there is no such TinkerPop artifact
that has been published with that version number.

[[docker-testing]]
== Testing Sub-Modules with Docker

Currently the modules gremlin-go, gremlin-javascript, gremlin-dotnet, gremlin-python and gremlin-console can be tested
through Docker.

Please make sure Docker is installed and running on your system. You will need to install both
link:https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/[Docker Engine] and link:https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/[Docker Compose],
which are included in link:https://docs.docker.com/desktop/[Docker Desktop].

The following environment variables used by Docker Compose will automatically be set when running through Maven.

The docker compose environment variable `GREMLIN_SERVER` specifies the Gremlin server docker image to use, i.e. an
image with the tag `tinkerpop/gremlin-server:$GREMLIN_SERVER`, and is a required environment variable. This also 
requires the specified docker image to exist, either locally or in link:https://hub.docker.com/r/tinkerpop/gremlin-server[Docker Hub].

Running `mvn clean install -pl gremlin-server -DskipTests -DskipIntegrationTests=true -Dci -am` in the main `tinkerpop` 
directory will automatically build a local SNAPSHOT Gremlin server image. If your OS Platform cannot build a local 
SNAPSHOT Gremlin server through `maven`, it is recommended to use the latest released server version from
link:https://hub.docker.com/r/tinkerpop/gremlin-server[Docker Hub] (do not use `GREMLIN_SERVER=latest`, use actual
version number, e.g. `GREMLIN_SERVER=3.5.x` or `GREMLIN_SERVER=3.6.x`).

The docker compose environment variable `HOME` specifies the user home directory for mounting volumes during test image 
set up. This variable is set by default in Unix/Linux, but will need to be set for Windows, for example, run 
`$env:HOME=$env:USERPROFILE` in PowerShell.

There are different ways to launch the test suite and set the `GREMLIN_SERVER` environment variable depending on 
your Platform:

* Run Maven commands, e.g. `mvn clean install` inside of project folder e.g. `tinkerpop/gremlin-go`, or `mvn clean install -pl gremlin-go` 
inside of `tinkerpop` (platform-agnostic - recommended)
* Add `GREMLIN_SERVER=<server-image-version>` and `HOME=<user-home-directory>` to an `.env` file inside project folder and run `docker-compose up --exit-code-from gremlin-go-integration-tests` (Platform-agnostic).
* Run `GREMLIN_SERVER=<server-image-version> docker-compose up --exit-code-from gremlin-go-integration-tests` in Unix/Linux.
* Run `$env:GREMLIN_SERVER="<server-image-version>";$env:HOME=$env:USERPROFILE;docker-compose up --exit-code-from gremlin-go-integration-tests` in Windows PowerShell.

You should see exit code 0 upon successful completion of the test suites. Run `docker-compose down` to remove the 
service containers (not needed if you executed Maven commands or `run.sh`), or `docker-compose down --rmi all` to 
remove the service containers while deleting all used images.

Note for running docker with MacOS on ARM processors: Docker's performance is extremely poor on ARM Mac's in its
default configuration. It is recommended to enable both the "New Virtualization Framework" and "VirtioFS" under
Docker Desktop Settings -> Experimental Features.

== Intellij Usage

Most core TinkerPop developers are using Intellij for their work so this section helps describe the mechanisms for
best working with it as an IDE.

=== Setup

Installation and basic configuration of Intellij is beyond the scope of this writing and it is assumed that the
TinkerPop GitHub repository has been cloned and the root of the repository is open in Intellij. From there, we can
begin to look at configuration options specifically relevant to TinkerPop itself.

TinkerPop has a module called `gremlin-shaded` which contains shaded dependencies for some libraries that are widely
used and tend to introduce conflicts.  To ensure that Intellij properly interprets this module after importing the
Maven `pom.xml` perform the following steps:

. Build `gremlin-shaded` from the command line with `mvn clean install`.
. Right-click on the `gremlin-shaded` module in the project viewer of Intellij and select "Remove module". If this menu
option is not available (as is the case in newer versions of Intellij - first noticed in 13.1.5), then open the "Maven
Projects" side panel, right click the `gremlin-shaded` module and select "Ignore Project".
. In the "Maven Projects" Tool window and click the tool button for "Reimport All Maven projects" (go to
`View | Tool Windows | Maven Projects` on the main menu if this panel is not activated).
. At this point it should be possible to compile and run the tests within Intellij, but in the worst case, use
`File | Invalidate Caches/Restart` to ensure that indices properly rebuild.

Note that it may be necessary to re-execute these steps if the `gremlin-shaded` `pom.xml` is ever updated.

Developers working on the `neo4j-gremlin` module should enabled the `include-neo4j` Maven profile in Intellij.
This will ensure that tests will properly execute within the IDE.

If Intellij complains about "duplicate sources" for the Groovy files when attempting to compile/run tests, then
install the link:http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7442?pr=idea[GMavenPlus Intellij plugin].

The `gremlin-core` module uses a Java annotation processor to help support DSLs. To support this capability be sure
that:

. `File | Settings | Compiler | Annotation Processors` has the checkbox with the "Enable annotation processing" checked.
Intellij should be able to detect the processor automatically on build.
. The `gremlin-core/target` directory should not be hidden and `target/classes`, `target/generated-sources` and
`target/generated-test-sources` should be marked as "Generated Sources Root". If they are not setup that way by
Intellij by default then simply right-click on them use the "Mark Directory with" option to make the appropriate
selections.

The `gremlin-language` module requires ANTLR processing. While this processing is configured to execute with Maven, it
can also be setup to generate parser files within Intellij itself on command:

. Install the ANTLR4 Grammar Plugin for Intellij
. Right-click on the `Gremlin.g4` file and "Configure ANTLR"
. Set "Output directory where all output is generated" to `target/generated-sources/antlr4`
. Set "Grammar file encoding" to `utf-8`
. Set "Package/namespace for the generated code" to `org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.language.grammar`
. Set "Language" to `Java`
. Set "Case transformation in the Preview window" should be "Leave as-is"
. The "generate parse tree listener" should be unchecked and the "generate parse tree visitor" should be checked.

With these settings it should be possible to right-click `Gremlin.g4` and "Generate ANTLR Recognizer" which will place
the generated code in where specified at `target/generated-sources/antlr4`. Be sure to right-click the `antlr4`
directory and "Mark directory as" "Generated Sources Root" which should allow Intellij to recognize it.

=== Debugging

It is generally assumed that JVM-based debugging of TinkerPop code in Intellij is a relatively straightforward task
for most developers, but it is worth pointing out a few important points related to it and to drill into some specifics
for the non-JVM languages.

[[debug-java]]
==== Java

There are generally no complexities to running the debugger for any JVM-based test in the repository, but the following
tips are helpful to know when doing so:

* It is not possible to run the tests in `gremlin-test` without an `Graph` implementation. For example, it is not
possible to just right-click `org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.step.filter.CoinTest` and then select
`Debug 'CoinTest'`. Instead, running that test would require opening `tinkergraph-gremlin` and executing the
`TinkerGraphProcessStandardTest` (as an example) which runs the full Gremlin test suite to include `CoinTest`.
* To run just `CoinTest`, set a `GREMLIN_TESTS` environment variable with the fully qualified path name to the test
configuration in Intellij. Note that the fully qualified test name is really
`org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.step.filter.CoinTest$Traversals`.
* Gherkin tests have a similar pattern in that they require a `Graph` implementation to execute them. Therefore,
debugging entails going to `tinkergraph-gremlin` and running `TinkerGraphFeatureTest` in the debugger.
* It is possible to filter the Gherkin tests by adding a system property to the debug configuration that specifies the
tags to use or ignore. For example to just run the `coin()` tests: `-Dcucumber.filter.tags="@StepCoin"`

[[debug-python]]
==== Python

Debugging Python within this mainly JVM-based project structure requires a bit of configuration. The following steps
will help get Intellij prepared for this task:

1. Install the Python plugin from JetBrains which should provide PyCharm like functionality.
1. Right-click the "tinkerpop" top-level module in Intellij's project explorer and "Open Module Settings".
1. Select "Platform Settings | SDKs" and then click the "+" to "Add Python SDK..."
1. Choose a "Virtualenv Environment" and a "New environment". Set the "Location" to
"<project-root>/gremlin-python/src/main/python". Select a "Base interpreter" that matches the version required by
`gremlin-python` and click "OK".
1. Select "Project Settings | Modules" and then select "gremlin-python" from the listing. Change the "Module SDK" to
the newly added Python SDK.
1. Open a terminal to `gremlin-python/scr/main/python` and do `venv/bin/pip3 install -e .` to pull in all of the
`gremlin-python` dependencies.

At this stage, it should be possible to run unit tests in Python:

1. Pull down the drop down in the toolbar for "Run/Debug Configurations" and select "Edit Configurations..."
1. Click the "+" to "Python Tests | pytest" and browse to a test to supply the "Script path".
1. Go to "Python interpreter" and select "Use SDK of module" and choose "gremlin-python" in the drop-down and click OK.
1. The test should not appear in the "Run/Debug Configurations" and can be executed.

NOTE: When the Debug button is pressed, Intellij may display a notification that using the debugger requires some
additional downloads - confirm those installations as required.

Many of the tests in `gremlin-python` require Gremlin Server. They are effectively integration tests. TinkerPop makes
it easy to debug these tests by providing a Docker based test server which is rigged up with all the configurations
required for the tests to execute. Start this server with `docker/gremlin-server.sh -n` where the `-n` will enable
Neo4j for transaction based tests.
