Building the Buildpack

To build this buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

1. Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.

   source .envrc
   

   To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.

2. Install buildpack-packager

   (cd src/go/vendor/github.com/cloudfoundry/libbuildpack/packager/buildpack-packager && go install)
   

3. Build the buildpack

   buildpack-packager [ --cached | --uncached ]
   

4. Use in Cloud Foundry

   Upload the buildpack to your Cloud Foundry and optionally specify it by name

   cf create-buildpack [BUILDPACK_NAME] [BUILDPACK_ZIP_FILE_PATH] 1
   cf push my_app [-b BUILDPACK_NAME]
   

Testing

Buildpacks use the Cutlass framework for running integration tests.

To test this buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

1. Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.

   source .envrc
   

   To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.

2. Run unit tests

   ./scripts/unit.sh
   

3. Run integration tests

   ./scripts/integration.sh
