The Couchbase JVM Core is the foundation module for the next generation of Couchbase JVM SDKs. It implements all the groundwork without imposing a specific language API. Language bindings like Java, Scala and so forth are implemented separately.

Note that while properly documented and supported, the core package is not intended to be used directly by general Couchbase adopters. Instead, use the higher level language bindings and come back here if you need to implement custom piece of software which needs are not satisfied by the provided bindings.

The test suite is separated into unit, integration and performance tests. Each of those sets can and should be run individually, depending on the type of testing needed. While unit and integration tests can be run from both the command line and the IDE, it is recommend to run the performance tests from the command line only.

Unit tests do not need a Couchbase Server reachable, and they should complete within a very short time. They are located under the src/test namespace and can be run directly from the IDE or through the gradle test command line:

~/couchbase-jvm-core $ ./gradlew test
...
:test

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Those tests interact with Couchbase Server instances and therefore need to be configured as such. If you do not want to change anything special, make sure you at least have one running on localhost. Then use the gradle integrationTest command:

~/couchbase-jvm-core $ ./gradlew integrationTest
...
:integrationTest

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

The project uses JMH to build self-contained performance jars which can be run and distributed individually. To create such a jar, use the gradle benchmarks command:

~/couchbase-jvm-core $ ./gradlew benchmarks
...
:benchmarks

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

This creates a jar in the build/distributions directory which can be executed with JMH params. If you do not supply params, all test will be run with the default settings. See the JMH documentation for more details.
