Developers

This document specifies all commands available from lnd's Makefile. The commands included handle:

• Installation of all go-related dependencies.
• Compilation and installation of lnd and lncli.
• Compilation and installation of btcd and btcctl.
• Running unit and integration suites.
• Testing, debugging, and flake hunting.
• Formatting and linting.

Commands

• all
• btcd
• build
• check
• clean
• default
• dep
• flake-unit
• flakehunter
• fmt
• install
• itest
• lint
• list
• rpc
• scratch
• travis
• unit
• unit-cover
• unit-race

all

Compiles, tests, and installs lnd and lncli. Equivalent to scratch check install.

btcd

Ensures that github.com/Masterminds/glide is installed, and that the github.com/btcsuite/btcd repository is checked out locally. Lastly, installs the version of github.com/btcsuite/btcd specified in Gopkg.toml

build

Compiles the current source and vendor trees, creating ./lnd and ./lncli.

check

Installs the version of github.com/btcsuite/btcd specified in Gopkg.toml, then runs the unit tests followed by the integration tests.

Related: unit itest

clean

Removes compiled versions of both ./lnd and ./lncli, and removes the vendor tree.

default

Alias for scratch.

flake-unit

Runs the unit test endlessly until a failure is detected.

Arguments:

• pkg=<package>
• case=<testcase>
• timeout=<timeout>

Related: unit

flakehunter

Runs the itegration test suite endlessly until a failure is detected.

Arguments:

• icase=<itestcase>
• timeout=<timeout>

Related: itest

fmt

Runs go fmt on the entire project.

install

Copies the compiled lnd and lncli binaries into $GOPATH/bin.

itest

Installs the version of github.com/btcsuite/btcd specified in Gopkg.toml, builds the ./lnd and ./lncli binaries, then runs the integration test suite.

Arguments:

• icase=<itestcase>
• timeout=<timeout>

lint

Ensures that gopkg.in/alecthomas/gometalinter.v1 is installed, then lints the project.

list

Lists all known make targets.

rpc

Compiles the lnrpc proto files.

scratch

Compiles all dependencies and builds the ./lnd and ./lncli binaries. Equivalent to lint dep btcd unit-race.

travis

Note: This must be run with either RACE=true or RACE=false.

• RACE=true runs lint scratch btcd unit-race.
• RACE=false runs lint scratch itest unit-cover. Afterwards, github.com/mattn/goveralls is installed, and the coverage stats are uploaded to coveralls.io.

unit

Runs the unit test suite. By default, this will run all known unit tests.

Arguments:

• pkg=<package>
• case=<testcase>
• timeout=<timeout>
• log="stdlog[ <log-level>]" prints logs to stdout
  • <log-level> can be info (default), debug, trace, warn, error, critical, or off

unit-cover

Runs the unit test suite with test coverage, compiling the statisitics in profile.cov.

Arguments:

• pkg=<package>
• case=<testcase>
• timeout=<timeout>
• log="stdlog[ <log-level>]" prints logs to stdout
  • <log-level> can be info (default), debug, trace, warn, error, critical, or off

unit-race

Runs the unit test suite with go's race detector.

Arguments:

• pkg=<package>
• case=<testcase>
• timeout=<timeout>
• log="stdlog[ <log-level>]" prints logs to stdout
  • <log-level> can be info (default), debug, trace, warn, error, critical, or off
