Developing

We are using Please to build Dracon's binaries and docker containers. This abstracts away needing to understand the underling programming language or tooling.

Running Dracon from Please

To run the Dracon command with the --help flag, we can:

plz run //cmd/dracon:dracon -- --help

This does everything a build system should, downloading dependencies, calling the compiler then finally calling the application with your arguments.

Building with please in docker

If you don't want to install please in your development environment, there's the option of using our docker build container.

For example building all artefacts (all the binaries), you can use:

docker run --rm -it \
  --volume "${PWD}:/src" \
  --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
  thoughtmachine/dracon-builder-go:53322138724d569c4ff037dc36443bb5e0107aecd85e39b094ed8689b6cbc9dc \
  plz build

Building the docker images is a little bit more tricky as you would need to mount the docker socket in to the container. At the moment we don't support doing this. Instead, you'll need to install please.

Ensuring everything is building and testing
