ONAP Developer Set-Up

Follow the steps below to set up the development environment on your client machine, and to establish credentials with which you may access the repositories.

Table of Contents

Create a Linux Foundation Account

Follow the instructions on the identity portal to create a Linux Foundation account and get access to the OpenECOMP ONAP Gerrit instance.  Then verify

Verify that you can log in at https://gerrit.openecomponap.org/ and that you can see the OpenECOMP ONAP list of repositories.

...

Basic Setup

...

...

Git

...

To install git-review on Linux (Ubuntu), type the following command.

sudo apt-get install git-review

Windows Setup

Installing Git

Install git for your OS in accordance with https://Install Git on your client, visit: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/install-git, and download the appropriate installation image for your host. Once downloaded, execute the installation script ("open" the .msi file).

During installation, you will see the following dialog box.  Include the "Git Bash" and "Git GUI" components (this is the default).To do this, leave the following boxes checked:

Image Removed

If you intend to type Git commands from the Windows Command Prompt, leave the default setting for adjusting the PATH environment:

Image Removed

The repositories use Unix-style line-feed for line termination, so on your windows Git client, select the conversion option:

Image Removed

Select the following option based on your own preference (non-default shown, so 'winpty' is not required):

Image Removed

Choose the defaults here:

Image Removed

The installer lets you choose the experimental 'difftool'; either choice will work. Continue with the installation dialogs until the installation is complete.

Install Python on Windows (optional)

Not all components require Python for development. See the documentation for your component in the Development Guides section. (Note: the "node-gyp" tool requires Python.)

Download Python version 2.7.10:

Execute the install file that you just downloaded. (You must have administrative privileges.) During installation, select "Add python.exe to Path", overriding the default setting. Also, be sure to install "pip" (this is the default).

Image Removed

Continue with the installation until it is completed.

Set up git review and Configure git

Run Git Bash as Administrator (for example, in Windows 10, use the Windows menu, scroll to the Git directory, right-click on Git-bash, and select "Run as administrator":

Image Removed

Within Git Bash, type the following command:

$ pip install git-review

To use git review, you have to be in a git clone directory that already contains a (possibly hidden) .gitreview configuration file (see Gerrit/Advanced usage#Setting up a repository for git-remote), otherwise you will get the error message UnboundLocalError: local variable 'no_git_dir' referenced before assignment.

Info

The git and git-review installation steps above are derived from the description at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/git-review#Windows 

Configure Git to remember your Linux Foundation user name and email address (the user name and email address associated with your Linux Foundation login):

git config --global user.email <your_LF_account_email>

git config --global --add gitreview.username <your_LF_user_name>

If you are using VPN, you might encounter a proxy problem while connecting to the Linux Foundation website. To avoid the problem, you should add the proxy setting in git config, using the following command:

git config --global https.proxy https://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url> 

git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>

NOTE: When entering the proxy username, you might be required to add the domain name in front of the username.

Install Putty

NOTE: If you already have keys registered with PuTTY, skip this section.

PuTTY is a terminal emulator that uses Secure SHell (SSH) to communicate with a host. You need to install PuTTY in order to create a public/private encryption key pair. This pair of keys enables git to communicate securely with the repositories.

To install PuTTY, visit, www.putty.org and follow the links to the appropriate Windows installation for your machine (32-bit or 64 bit). The downloaded file will be named putty-0.67-installer.msi or the like.

Execute the .msi file. Use all the default settings, thereby ensuring that you will install pageant.exe, plink.exe, and puttygen.exe.

Generate Public and Private Keys

The puttygen utility, installed with putty, generates public and private keys used for secure communication with Gerrit.

Info

You should execute puttygen.exe as an Administrator, otherwise, the key files will be stored in %localappdata%\VirtualStore\PuTTY, typically C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY.

To do this, right-click on C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\puttygen.exe and select Run as Administrator:

Image Removed

Answer "Yes" to the User Account Control challenge. Then click the "Generate" button in the puttygen window. puttygen will ask you to move your mouse over its dialog box to generate random seed bits. After it has computed a public key, it will display a dialog box resembling the following:

Image Removed

If you want to edit this key pair in the future, create a text file containing a short phrase, called a "passphrase". Copy and paste this passphrase into the "Key passphrase" and "Confirm passphrase" lines, then select "Save public key" and choose a filename (e.g. public.txt); also "Save private key" and choose another filename (e.g. private.ppk). Since you ran puttygen as Administrator, the files are visible to Windows Explorer.

Close puttygen.

Load Your Private Key Into Pageant

Pageant is an SSH authentication agent. It holds your private keys in memory, already decoded, so that you can use them often without needing to type a passphrase.

To load your private key into pageant, right-click on the private key file (e.g. private.ppk in this example), and select Load into pageant:

Image Removed

This action not only loads private.ppk into pageant, but also starts pageant if it is not already running. You will be prompted for the passphrase that you entered into puttygen when you created the key. If successful, pageant will load the key without further interaction.

Panel
titlePageant: a background job with a dialog box

pageant runs without opening any visible window. When it is running, it puts an icon of a computer wearing a hat (Image Removed) into the System tray.

You can right-click on this icon to perform actions with pageant, including "View Keys" (which brings up a dialog box that allows you to add or remove keys.)

Image Removed

The "Add Key" button offers another way to enter your private key into pegeant: after clicking on "Add Key", select the file containing your private key (for example, private.ppk).

Set the GIT_SSH Environment Variable

From the Desktop, right-click the Windows logo at the very bottom left corner of the screen, Image Removed , and select "System". Within the System dialog box, select "Advanced system settings" to get the Power User Task Menu.

Image Removed

In the next dialog box, select "Environment Variables":

Image Removed

If you don't already have a GIT_SSH entry in your System Variables list, click "New..." and create GIT_SSH, defined to be the location of plink.exe :

Image Removed

Copy/paste the known_hosts entries listed, into a file named known_hosts under your .ssh profile (something like C:\Users\<my-id>\.ssh) (if known_hosts does not exist, create it).

IDE: Eclipse: Does Not Support Gerrit Plugin

Eclipse plugins (including the Mylin Gerrit connector plugin and Egit) do not support a 2.12 Gerrit server, so if you use Eclipse as your development IDE, you must do reviews using the Gerrit web interface.

IDE: IntelliJ

Installing IntelliJ Community Edition and the Java SDK on Windows

If you are using IntelliJ to do Java compilations, download the IntelliJ installation image from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/. The installation dialog gives you the opportunity to associated IntelliJ with file type .java, among others. Installation takes several minutes.

When you start your first IntelliJ project, you will need to specify the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) as the project's. If you do not have the Java SDK installed on your machine, you can download it from within IntelliJ by selecting Maven as the New Project type and clicking on "Download SDK": (Or, visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html).

Image Removed

Installing the Gerrit plugin in IntelliJ

Open File -> Settings -> Plugins of IntelliJ, and click on the Browse repositories... button.

Image Removed

In the new window, search for Gerrit, click Install to install the plugin, and finally restart IntelliJ.

Image Removed

To verify whether the Gerrit plugin is installed successfully, you can click File -> New -> Project from Version Control and verify whether Gerrit is present.

Image Removed

Other Tools

The component you are working on may require additional tool installations, see the relevant section under Development Guides.

Selecting a connection method

Once Git is installed, you will need to select a connection method to the Gerrit host, https://gerrit.openecomp.org/.

We recommend using SSH, in which case you need to register your private key in your account settings on the Gerrit host. However, if you are using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), you will require the HTTPS method, since most VPNs won't allow an ssh connection.

SSH Connection (Recommended)

Log in to the Gerrit host https://gerrit.openecomp.org/, pull down the menu under your user name (at the extreme top right of the browser window), click on "Settings":

Click your account name on the top right corner of the website and click on Settings.

Image Removed

In the Settings window, select SSH Public Keys, and then click Add Key... .

Image Removed

 Enter the public PuTTY key you generated above (by copying and pasting the entire contents of the file public.txt, in our example above.) and click Add.

Image Removed

...

Since this is common for all OS, we will also use it to generate our SSH keys as well :

Code Block
ssh-keygen

This should generate a private and public ssh key.

The public ssh key can then be uploaded to Gerrit (user setting, ssh keys, add new key) or elsewhere as needed for authorization.

Java

ONAP is moving to Java 11 but many projects still use Java 8.

Download and install the appropriate openjdk version in accordance with the component you are working and set JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to that

Maven

Download the latest Maven using installer from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

Add maven to your path variable.

To test the new installation run:

Code Block
mvn -version

Use the settings.xml found in the oparent repo

Save this Maven settings.xml as your ~/.m2/settings.xml (windows c:\users\<username>\.m2)

WSL users can point to one common repo across Windows and Ubuntu as :

Code Block
ln -s /mnt/c/Users/<username>/.m2 ~

Connecting to ONAP Gerrit

SSH Connection (Recommended)

Log in to the Gerrit host https://gerrit.onap.org/, pull down the menu under your user name (at the extreme top right of the browser window), click on "Settings":

Click your account name on the top right corner of the website and click on Settings.

Add the public ssh key that you created in the previous step.

HTTPS Connection

Expand

If you choose to use HTTP/HTTPS, you'll need to generate an access password. Log in to the Gerrit host https://gerrit.onap.org/, pull down the menu under your user name (at the extreme top right of the browser window), click on "Settings", and select "HTTP Password"

This password may have a limited time to live, so you might get errors like this one:

Problem running 'git remote update gerrit'
Fetching gerrit
fatal: unable to access 'https://USERNAME@gerrit.onap.org/r/a/mso/ ': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to gerrit.onap.org:443 error: Could not fetch gerrit

Regenerating a password will most likely solve the connectivity issue. Sometimes, the Gerrit interface on HTTPS might be temporarily faulty, so retries might be needed.

Proxy setting for IntelliJ and Git (if required)

Expand

For developers working with a proxy, you might have proxy issues connecting to Linux Foundation website. To avoid the connection issue, you must define the proxy setting for both IntelliJ and Git.

To configure the proxy settings in IntelliJ;

click File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy

 enter the correct proxy settings and click Apply.

In case of Manual proxy configuration, while entering the Host name, there is no need to write http:// in front of the URL. For example, if the proxy value is http://one.proxy.com, you would put one.proxy.com as the Host name


To configure the proxy settings for Git, play the following command:

git config --global https.proxy https://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url> 
git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>

Note: while entering the proxy username, sometimes it may require to add the domain name in front.

Set up SonarLint towards ONAP for IntelliJ

Prerequisites

  • You need to be part of the onap organization in GitHub (see GitHub, click on your icon and select 'My Organizations')
    If you are not a member of this organization email support.linuxfoundation.org  and ask to be added to the onap organization in GitHub
    Note. It is possible to enter a different organization if you at least member of 1 organization (you can create your own in GitHub).
    The plugin wizard crashes if you are member of no organization at all, see this Bug: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLI-426
  • Make sure you have added the SonarLint plugin

To use SonarLint with Onap projects you need to setup a connection with SonarCloud

  1. Select, File, Settings, Tools, SonarLint.
  2. Click on + beside the 'SonarCube / SonarClod connections' box to add a new connection
  3. Set Configuration Name to something like 'ONAP'
  4. Ensure sonarcloud is selected  and click [Next]
  5. Click [Create Token]
  6. Select GitHub, logon and follow the GitHub wizard to create a Token
  7. Copy Token into IntelliJ wizard
  8. Click [Next] (might have to wait a little while your data is being downloaded)
  9. Select 'Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP)' from 'Your Organizations' and click [Next]
  10. Click [Finish] to close the wizard
  11. Click [OK] to leave settings

Then you need to bind each project to the corresponding project in GitHub/SonarCloud:

Optional Tools & Utilities

Python

Info

Check which version of python your project is using before installing. 

Download Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/

Add python binary to Path.

Install "pip3", if you plan to use git-review.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip
pip3 --version

git-review (optional)

In a shell, type the following command (assumes you installed python above) :  

Code Block
pip3 install git-review


To use git review, you have to be in a Git clone directory that already contains a (possibly hidden) .gitreview configuration file (see Gerrit/Advanced usage#Setting up a repository for git-remote)

Info

The Git and git-review installation steps above are derived from the description at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/git-review#Windows 

Configure Git to remember your Linux Foundation user name and email address (the user name and email address associated with your Linux Foundation login):

Code Block
git config --global user.email <your_LF_account_email>

git config --global --add gitreview.username <your_LF_user_name>


Configure git review

Code Block
themeMidnight
git config --global gitreview.remote origin


If you are using VPN, you might encounter a proxy problem while connecting to the Linux Foundation website. To avoid the problem, you should add the proxy setting in git config, using the following command:

Code Block
git config --global https.proxy https://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url> 

git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>

NOTE: When entering the proxy username, you might be required to add the domain name in front of the username.

Node-JS

The dcae build will install npm in most cases.

However you can install it yourself from https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Verify your installation by 

Code Block
npm -v

Local SonarQube Setup

It can be useful to have SonarQube running locally rather than pushing through CI for feedback.

This can be done using docker:

Images of the Community, Developer, and Enterprise Editions are available on Docker Hub.

  1. Start the server by running:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    $ docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:latest


  2. Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).
  3. Click the Create new project button to analyze your first project.

Other Optional Tools

The component you are working on may require additional tool installations, see the relevant section under Development Guides.

Troubleshooting & Know Issues

Windows Limitations

Some repos might not clone in Windows until some file paths are reduced below 255 chars.

Enable long paths in windows as

Code Block
git config --system core.longpaths true

Hack oparent to fix "curly bracket" issue

Expand

The first issue is that the current ONAP master tagged version of the checkstyle does not work with Eclipse Oxygen/Photon (and maybe other versions) because of the "curly bracket" issue. There is a fix on the way but it's not here yet. The current tagged version of oparent we are using in Policy is 1.2.1.

To get around this issue, check out oparent, checked out the 1.2.1 tag, fixed the "curly bracket" bug and built it on my local machine.

  1. Check out oparent
  2. git tag -l
  3. git co tags/1.2.3 -b 1.2.3
  4. If you want CheckStyle to ignore generated files, do the following:
    1. Add the following tag to the above file:
      <module name="SuppressionFilter">
        <property name="file" value="<absolute path to the directory of the file>/suppressions.xml"/>
      </module>
    2. Create a file called "suppressions.xml" in the folder given above, and put the following content in it:
      <?xml version="1.0"?>
      <!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC
        "-//Checkstyle//DTD SuppressionFilter Configuration 1.2//EN"
        "https://checkstyle.org/dtds/suppressions_1_2.dtd">
      <suppressions>
        <suppress files="[\\/]generated-sources[\\/]" checks="[a-zA-Z0-9]*"/>
      </suppressions>
  5. The versions in the POMs in oparent are snapshot, so we need to change those to 1.2.1
     mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.2.1
  6. Now build locally:
    mvn clean install

Appendix

...

If you choose to use HTTP/HTTPS, you'll need to generate an access password. Log in to the Gerrit host https://gerrit.openecomp.org/, pull down the menu under your user name (at the extreme top right of the browser window), click on "Settings", and select "HTTP Password":

Image Removed

The icon at the right of the generated password allows you to copy the generated password to your clipboard, it will be needed when you interact with git/gerrit.

This password may have a limited time to live, so you might get errors like this one:

Problem running 'git remote update gerrit'
Fetching gerrit
fatal: unable to access 'https://USERNAME@gerrit.openecomp.org/r/a/mso/ ': Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to gerrit.openecomp.org:443 error: Could not fetch gerrit

Regenerating a password will most likely solve the connectivity issue. Sometimes, the Gerrit interface on HTTPS might be temporarily faulty, so retries might be needed.

Working with a Proxy

For developers working with a proxy, you might have proxy issues connecting to Linux Foundation website. To avoid the connection issue, you must define the proxy setting for both IntelliJ and Git.

To configure the proxy settings in IntelliJ, click File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> HTTP Proxy, enter the correct proxy settings and click Apply. In case of Manual proxy configuration, while entering the Host name, there is no need to write http:// in front of the URL. For example, if the proxy value is http://one.proxy.com, you would put one.proxy.com as the Host name.

Image Removed

To configure the proxy settings for Git, play the following command:

git config --global https.proxy https://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url> 
git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>
