ONAP Developer Set-Up

Follow the steps below to set up the development environment on your client machine, and to establish credentials with which you may access the repositories.

Create a Linux Foundation Account

Follow the instructions on the identity portal to create a Linux Foundation account and get access to the ONAP Gerrit instance.

Verify that you can log in at https://gerrit.onap.org/ and that you can see the ONAP list of repositories.

Basic Setup

Git

Install git for your OS in accordance with https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/install-git

Since this is common for all OS, we will also use it to generate our SSH keys as well :

ssh-keygen

This should generate a private and public ssh key.

The public ssh key can then be uploaded to Gerrit (user setting, ssh keys, add new key) or elsewhere as needed for authorization.

Java

ONAP is moving to Java 11 but many projects still use Java 8.

Download and install the appropriate openjdk version in accordance with the component you are working and set JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to that

Maven

Download the latest Maven using installer from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Add maven to your path variable.

To test the new installation run:

mvn -version

Use the settings.xml found in the oparent repo

Save this Maven settings.xml as your ~/.m2/settings.xml (windows c:\users\<username>\.m2)

WSL users can point to one common repo across Windows and Ubuntu as :

ln -s /mnt/c/Users/<username>/.m2 ~

Proxy settings for Maven (if required)

If you are behind a proxy you can add a proxy section to your settings.xml

OS Specific Instructions

MAC/OSX  (in review under 10.15.7)

get your MBP 2020 16 inch ready for development - refer to http://wiki.obrienlabs.cloud/display/DEV/Developer+Guide#DeveloperGuide-OSX


Install homebrew package manager - 

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

python should already be installed. - do a --version check

install openstack tools

install docker (dmg) - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/#download-docker-for-mac

Redhat/CentOS (in review under RHEL 8.3)











Add the following option to your MAVEN_OPTS in order not to periodically hang on downloading artifacts in linux

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

enable IP4 forwarding to enable the RHEL VM to act as an edge router - without this docker containers cannot communicate

add to /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Install docker (required for some repos like dcae-inventory off dcae







Ubuntu (in review under 20.04 )











enable ubuntu desktop

apt-get update

apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

enable static IP

vi /etc/network/interfaces

add

iface enp0s25 inet static

address 192.168.15.101

netmask 255.255.255.0

network 192.168.15.0

broadcast 192.168.15.255

gateway 192.168.15.1

dns-nameservers 8.8.4.4

disable strict host checking (client and server)

in ~/.ssh/config

Host * StrictHostKeyChecking no UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null

Enable non CD repositories so an apt-get update will work

comment out the CD first line in /etc/apt/sources.list

enable ssh if skipped during installation so we can remote ssh

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

enable root login and gui (no sudo su -)

sudo passwd root

sudo usermod -U root

sudo reboot now

sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

[SeatDefaults]

greeter-session=unity-greeter

user-session=ubuntu

greeter-show-manual-login=true



: enable root login

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

FROM: PermitRootLogin prohibit-password TO: PermitRootLogin yes

systemctl restart sshd

Add the following option to your MAVEN_OPTS in order not to periodically hang on downloading artifacts in linux

in /etc/environment

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Install docker (required when building docker images)


use the current as of 20180621 17.03 version in the script
https://git.onap.org/logging-analytics/tree/deploy/rancher/oom_rancher_setup.sh
which is







Connecting to ONAP Gerrit

SSH Connection (Recommended)

Log in to the Gerrit host https://gerrit.onap.org/, pull down the menu under your user name (at the extreme top right of the browser window), click on "Settings":

Click your account name on the top right corner of the website and click on Settings.

Add the public ssh key that you created in the previous step.

HTTPS Connection

If you choose to use HTTP/HTTPS, you'll need to generate an access password. Log in to the Gerrit host https://gerrit.onap.org/, pull down the menu under your user name (at the extreme top right of the browser window), click on "Settings", and select "HTTP Password"

This password may have a limited time to live, so you might get errors like this one:

Problem running 'git remote update gerrit'
Fetching gerrit
fatal: unable to access 'https://USERNAME@gerrit.onap.org/r/a/mso/ ': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to gerrit.onap.org:443 error: Could not fetch gerrit

Regenerating a password will most likely solve the connectivity issue. Sometimes, the Gerrit interface on HTTPS might be temporarily faulty, so retries might be needed.

Proxy setting for IntelliJ and Git (if required)

For developers working with a proxy, you might have proxy issues connecting to Linux Foundation website. To avoid the connection issue, you must define the proxy setting for both IntelliJ and Git.

To configure the proxy settings in IntelliJ;

click File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy

 enter the correct proxy settings and click Apply.

In case of Manual proxy configuration, while entering the Host name, there is no need to write http:// in front of the URL. For example, if the proxy value is http://one.proxy.com, you would put one.proxy.com as the Host name



To configure the proxy settings for Git, play the following command:

git config --global https.proxy https://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>

git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>

Note: while entering the proxy username, sometimes it may require to add the domain name in front.

IDEs

Eclipse

Install Eclipse

Download and run the installer from: Install Eclipse. Select "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" to install.

ONAP Eclipse Java Formatter 

Download onap-java-formatter.xml and import into Eclipse. 

(updates to the settings should be committed and merged back into the repository)

ONAP uses Google Java Style with some modifications. ( See Java code style )



Install useful plugins for Eclipse

Install EclEmma for code coverage and SonarLint for static code analysis.

Set up Sonar towards ONAP for Eclipse

To bind your projects to the ONAP Sonar server, follow the instructions below.

Your projects should be imported in to Eclipse before this.





To see messages from Sonar introduced by edits made in the projects, select "Window -> Show View -> Other...". Expand "SonarLint" and select "SonarLint -> On-The-Fly".

Setting up the ONAP Checkstyle for Eclipse

Set "ONAP" configuration in Eclipse

To set the newly built checkstyle files in Eclipse:

  1. Preferences->Checkstyle

  2. Click "New"

  3. Select "External Configuration File"

  4. Give it a name eg ONAP

  5. Point at the file <your_git_folder>/oparent/checkstyle/src/main/resources/onap-checkstyle/onap-java-style.xml  
    (assuming you have downloaded the oparent repo)

  6. Click OK

  7. Select "ONAP" configuration and click "Set as Default"

  8. Select "Apply and Close"

Apply "ONAP" configuration to a project in Eclipse

Now we need to activate the checkstyle on one project and set it as the blueprint for all of them:

  1. Select a project in eclipse and right click->Properties→Checkstyle

  2. check "Checkstyle active for this project"

  3. Select the "ONAP" checkstyle profile

  4. Click "Apply and Close"

Spread blueprint to other projects for Eclipse

Now spread the profile to all other projects:

  1. Select all the projects you want to apply the profile to in the Eclipse project explorer (not the one that you set up above)

  2. Right click->Checkstyle->Configure projects from blueprint

  3. Select the project you set up above

  4. Now all the projects have the correct checkstyle setup.

Optional Tools & Utilities

Python

Check which version of python your project is using before installing. 

Download Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/

Add python binary to Path.

Install "pip3", if you plan to use git-review.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip

pip3 --version

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip

pip3 --version

git-review (optional)

In a shell, type the following command (assumes you installed python above) :  



To use git review, you have to be in a Git clone directory that already contains a (possibly hidden) .gitreview configuration file (see Gerrit/Advanced usage#Setting up a repository for git-remote)

The Git and git-review installation steps above are derived from the description at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/git-review#Windows 

Configure Git to remember your Linux Foundation user name and email address (the user name and email address associated with your Linux Foundation login):



Configure git review



If you are using VPN, you might encounter a proxy problem while connecting to the Linux Foundation website. To avoid the problem, you should add the proxy setting in git config, using the following command:

NOTE: When entering the proxy username, you might be required to add the domain name in front of the username.

Node-JS

The dcae build will install npm in most cases.

However you can install it yourself from https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Verify your installation by 

Local SonarQube Setup

It can be useful to have SonarQube running locally rather than pushing through CI for feedback.

This can be done using docker:

Images of the Community, Developer, and Enterprise Editions are available on Docker Hub.

  1. Start the server by running:



  2. Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).

  3. Click the Create new project button to analyze your first project.

Other Optional Tools

The component you are working on may require additional tool installations, see the relevant section under Development Guides.
