Thanks for your interest in contributing to Turbo!
- Contributing to Turbo
- Rust
- cargo-groups
- NodeJS v18
- npm v10.5.0 (note: this is determined by the GitHub Actions CI, when in doubt, look at what the runner is using)
- capnproto
- protoc
- LLD (LLVM Linker), as it's not installed by default on many Linux distributions (e.g.
apt install lld
).
Dependencies
-
Install turborepo crate build requirements
-
Run
pnpm install
at root
Building
- Building
turbo
CLI:cargo build --package turbo
- Using
turbo
to buildturbo
CLI:./turbow.js
Turborepo uses reqwest
, a Rust HTTP client, to make requests to the Turbo API. reqwest
supports two TLS
implementations: rustls
and native-tls
. rustls
is a pure Rust implementation of TLS, while native-tls
is a wrapper around OpenSSL. Turborepo allows users to select which implementation they want with the native-tls
and rustls-tls
features. By default, the rustls-tls
feature is selected---this is done so that cargo build
works
out of the box. If you wish to select native-tls
, you may do so by passing
--no-default-features --features native-tls
to the build command.
Install dependencies
On macOS:
brew install jq zstd
First: npm install -g turbo
.
Then from the root directory, you can run:
-
Go unit tests
pnpm test -- --filter=cli
-
Rust unit tests (install
nextest
first)cargo nextest run -p turborepo-lib --features rustls-tls
You can also use the built in
cargo test
directly withcargo test -p turborepo-lib
. -
CLI Integration tests
pnpm test -- --filter=turborepo-tests-integration
-
A single Integration test e.g to run everything in
tests/run-summary
:# build first because the next command doesn't run through turbo pnpm -- turbo run build --filter=cli pnpm test -F turborepo-tests-integration -- "run-summary"
Note: this is not through turbo, so you'll have to build turbo yourself first.
-
Updating Integration Tests
turbo run build --filter=cli pnpm --filter turborepo-tests-integration test:interactive
You can pass a test name to run a single test, or a directory to run all tests in that directory.
pnpm --filter turborepo-tests-integration test:interactive tests/turbo-help.t
-
Example tests
pnpm test -- --filter=turborepo-tests-examples -- <example-name> <packagemanager>
- Install
go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest
- In VS Code's "Run and Debug" tab, select
Build Basic
to start debugging the initial launch ofturbo
against thebuild
target of the Basic Example. This task is configured in launch.json.
Follow the instructions in the benchmark/README.md
.
You might need to update packages/turbo
in order to support a new platform. When you do that you will need to link the
module in order to be able to continue working. As an example, with npm link
:
cd ~/repos/vercel/turbo/packages/turbo
npm link
# Run your build, e.g. `go build ./cmd/turbo` if you're on the platform you're adding.
cd ~/repos/vercel/turbo/cli
go build ./cmd/turbo
# You can then run the basic example specifying the build asset path.
cd ~/repos/vercel/turbo/examples/basic
TURBO_BINARY_PATH=~/repos/vercel/turbo/cli/turbo.exe npm install
TURBO_BINARY_PATH=~/repos/vercel/turbo/cli/turbo.exe npm link turbo
If you're using a different package manager replace npm accordingly.
Before releasing, it's recommended to test the turbo
binary manually.
Here's a checklist of testing strategies to cover:
- Test
login
,logout
,login --sso-team
,link
,unlink
- Test
prune
(Noteturbo
here is the unreleased turbo binary)pnpm dlx create-turbo@latest prune-test --package-manager pnpm && cd prune-test
turbo --skip-infer prune docs && cd out && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
turbo --skip-infer build
- Test
--dry-run
and--graph
. - Test with and without daemon.
There are also multiple installation scenarios worth testing:
- Global-only.
turbo
is installed as global binary, no localturbo
in repository. - Local-only.
turbo
is installed as local binary, no globalturbo
in PATH. turbo` is invoked via a root package script. - Global + local.
turbo
is installed as global binary, and localturbo
in repository. Globalturbo
delegates to localturbo
Here are a few repositories that you can test on:
These lists are by no means exhaustive. Feel free to add to them with other strategies.
See the publishing guide.
Creating a new release post can be done via a turborepo generator. Run the following command from anywhere within the repo:
turbo generate run "blog - release post"
This will walk you through creating a new blog post from start to finish.
NOTE: If you would like to update the stats (GitHub stars / npm downloads / time saved) for an existing blog post that has yet to be published (useful if time has passed since the blog post was created, and up to date stats are required before publishing) - run:
turbo generate run "blog - "blog - update release post stats"
and choose the blog post you would like to update.
See Troubleshooting.
