Hacking on the faas-cli

Installation / pre-requirements

  • Docker

Install Docker because it is used to build Docker images if you create new functions.

  • OpenFaaS - deployed and live

This CLI can build and deploy templated functions, so it's best if you have FaaS started up on your laptop. Head over to http://github.com/openfaas/faas/ and get up and running with a sample stack in 60 seconds.

  • Golang

Here's how to install Go in 60 seconds.

Then after installing run this command or place it in your $HOME/.bash_profile

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
  • Now clone / build faas-cli:
Migrate all imports/references to OpenFaaS org
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/openfaas/
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/openfaas/
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli
$ cd faas-cli
$ go build
  • Build multi-arch binaries

To build the release binaries type in:

./build_redist.sh

This creates the faas-cli for Mac, Windows, Linux x64, Linux ARMHF and Linux ARM64.

  • Get the vendoring tool called vndr
$ go install github.com/LK4D4/vndr

Use the tool if you add new dependencies or want to update the existing ones.

How to update the brew formula

The brew formula for the faas-cli is part of the official homebrew-core repo on Github. It needs to be updated for each subsequent release.

Simple version bumps

If the only change required is a version bump, ie no new tests, or changes to existing tested functionality or build steps, the brew bump-formula-pr command can be used to do everything (i.e. forking, committing, pushing) required to bump the version.

For example (supplying both the new version tag and its associated Git sha-256).

brew bump-formula-pr --strict faas-cli --tag=<version> --revision=<sha-256>

Changes requiring new/update tests/build steps

If a new release alters behaviour tested in the Brew Formula, adds new testable behaviors or alters the build steps then you will need to manually raise a PR with an updated Formula, the guidelines for updating brew describe the process in more detail:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

After brew edit run the build and test the results:

$ brew uninstall --force faas-cli ; \
  brew install --build-from-source faas-cli ; \
  brew test faas-cli ; \
  brew audit --strict faas-cli

Update the utility-script

Please raise a PR for the get.sh file held in this repository. It's used when people install via curl and cli.openfaas.com. The updated file then has to be redeployed to the hosting server.

Misc

Bash Auto-completion [experimental]

An experimental initial Bash auto-completion script for faas-cli is available at contrib/bash/faas-cli.

Please raise issues with feedback and suggestions on improvements to the auto-completion support.

This may be enabled it as follows.

Enabling Bash auto-completion on OSX

Brew install the bash_completions package.

$ brew install bash-completion

Add the following line to your ~/.bash_profile if not already present.

[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion

Copy the provided faas-cli bash completion script from this repo.

cp contrib/bash/faas-cli /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/

Enabling Bash auto-completion on Linux

Refer to your distributions instructions on installing and enabling bash-completion, then copy the faas-cli completion script from contrib/bash/ into the appropriate completion directory.
