Teiid tooling is now part of the Syndesis project. This works a component inside Syndesis to provide data integration capabilities. This document is for developers who like to setup a workspace locally for testing or for development purposes.

• Install JDK 1.8 or higher
• Install maven 3.2+
• Install Go Lang These instructions are for Linux, find similar for your platform.
• Install minishift 3.9+; which is available for all the major operating systems (Linux, OS X and Windows). The following examples assume that you have Minishift installed and can be called with minishift from the command line. So, minishift is supposed to be available in your search path, i.e. located in a directory contained in your $PATH environment variable (Linux, macOS) or in a directory from your system path (Windows)
• Clone the Syndesis libraries.

[email protected]:syndesisio/syndesis.git
cd syndesis

• Clone Teiid Syndesis Repository

git clone [email protected]:teiid/teiid-syndesis.git

• Now follow below script

cd syndesis
minishift addons enable admin-user

# install syndesis in minishift
tools/bin/syndesis minishift --install --project syndesis --full-reset --memory 8GB --disk-size 40GB --cpus 4 --datavirt --nodev

# wait until the Minishift is started and you logged using oc login, then proceed with next step

oc login -u system:admin

Note: If you are developer and want your locally built images to be deployed to this minishift instance, then change --nodev in above command to --dev, however this will end up with few images in not started position. To fix that, you can do

cd teiid-syndesis
./fix4dev.sh

It will fix the images, and also when you update the image from local development, it will not be overridden anymore.

At this point Syndesis should be running with syndesis-dv in it, now if you are working on any changes for development in teiid-syndesis, make you code edits, once done execute below

cd teiid-syndesis
oc login -u developer (if new terminal)
oc project syndesis (if current project is myproject)
mvn install -Pimage [-DskipTests]

Once the above build is done, it will replace the existing syndesis-dv instance with latest one that has been just built with your latest changes.

When working in the development mode, the server image will automatically will be replaced with one in the Docker repo in 15 minutes, to avoid it run the following on your OpenShift after above installation.

oc edit syndesis app 
# then add below flag under "spec" section
spec:
  devSupport: true

save and exit. Now on your development machine when you do

mvn install -Pimage [-DskipTests]

The image generated will be the new syndesis-dv image

To enable the debugging of "syndesis-dv" instance, go to the OpenShift console where the application is deployed, and in the syndesis-dv deployment config's Environment variables add JAVA_DEBUG to true and then recycle the current pod such that new pod will be generated with new environment property.

The built images are deployed with java virtual machine debugging enabled, using port 5005. This allows for developers to remotely connect to the running dv using an IDE like Eclipse.

The port 5005 is not offered by any of the routes, although a route can be setup if preferred. A quick alternative is to port-forward the port to the localhost using the following command:

oc get pods

oc port-forward syndesis-dv-x-yyyy 5005:5005

where dv-x-yyyy is the latest deployed syndesis-dv pod.

If using Eclipse, open the Debugging Configurations window and create a new Remote Java Application configuration. Setting the host to localhost and the port to 5005, the configuration can then be executed. The debug perspective will indicate the connection has been successfully undertaken and all breakpoints will be fired by the dv image.

In Minishift, the VM is unable to see hostnames documented in the host OS' /etc/hosts file yet it is possible to resolve IP addresses. Only if the hostnames are inserted in the VM's own /etc/hosts will they be resolved correctly.

OpenShift and Docker are responsible for generating a significant amount of content which can fill up HDD space, including docker images and persistent volumes. If space becomes too low then errors can start to appear. Cleaning up docker images in Minishift can require secure-shell into the VM then manually deleting the images using the native docker commands. Likewise, persistent volumes can require manually deletion of their directories.

By default, Minishift starts with 2GB of memory and 20GB of storage. This can quickly prove insufficient for developing syndesis-dv. It is advisable to increase these values, eg.

minishift config set disk-size 60GB

minishift config set memory 8GB

See also the optional parameters you can supply on the "syndesis minishift" command to achieve the same.
