Waltz is built using Maven.
- Git
- Maven 3
- JDK 8
- Node
- NPM v6+
- Sass
- Database - either
- Liquibase (recommended but not essential)
- jOOQ Pro (if using Microsoft SQL Server)
It is recommended that you clone the repository on GitHub to maintain your own fork and pull in changes as required.
For Mariadb create a new database:
mysql -u root -e "create database IF NOT EXISTS waltz CHARACTER SET='utf8';"
When you run the first build (using mvn package
) the schema will be generated using the liquibase maven task (ref: waltz-schema/pom.xml
).
Starting with release 1.14 (alpha) we will make sample data sets available via the release pages.
See Dump and restore for details on how to import these changes.
Waltz uses maven profiles to target the build against the correct database. Generic db vendor settings are located in
the profiles section of <REPO>/waltz-schema/pom.xml
and should not need to be changed.
Specific database connection details should be configured in the
~/.m2/settings.xml
file. An example (for both MariaDB and Microsoft
SQL Server) would look like:
<settings>
<profiles>
<!--
these profile are used to provide db connection details
so that the jOOQ code generator can run.
-->
<profile>
<id>dev-maria</id>
<properties>
<database.url>jdbc:mysql://dbhost:3306/waltzdb</database.url>
<database.user>dbuser</database.user>
<database.password>dbpassword</database.password>
<database.schema>waltz</database.schema>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>dev-mssql</id>
<properties>
<database.url>jdbc:sqlserver://dbhost:1433;databaseName=waltzdb</database.url>
<database.user>dbuser</database.user>
<database.password>dbpassword</database.password>
<database.schema>dbschema</database.schema>
<database.catalog>watlzdb</database.catalog> <!-- only req'd for code gen w/ mssql -->
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
Typically one of two maven targets is executed. For the first run (and whenever schema updates are required) then a full package
build should be executed. For code only change then the quicker compile
target can be used.
When running either variant you must provide the names of two profiles, firstly the generic database profile (either waltz-mariadb
or waltz-mssql
) and the specific profile created in your ~.m2/settings.xml
file (in the example above either dev-maria
or dev-mssql
).
Below are some example maven command lines. We typically register the command as an alias to save time.
alias compile-maria='mvn clean compile -P waltz-mariadb,dev-maria'
alias compile-mssql='mvn clean compile -P waltz-mssql,dev-mssql'
alias pkg-maria='mvn clean package -P waltz-mariadb,dev-maria'
alias pkg-mssql='mvn clean package -P waltz-mssql,dev-mssql'
