Local development

Some Makefile targets within your app require specific variables to successfully execute. Those include registry details, tenancy or versioning. Corectl allows you to export those based on your existing local tenant and repository configuration. This corectl feature is designed to ease local development and enable seamless p2p targets execution.

To construct and print out a list of variables run:

corectl p2p export --tenant <your_tenant_name> --environment <your_target_env> --repoPath <filepath_to_app_repository>

The command will print out all variables as export statements, ex.:

export BASE_DOMAIN="gcp-dev.cecg.platform.cecg.io" # domain pulled in from environments project                                 
export REPO_PATH="/path/to/my/app/repo" # path to your git local app repository                                                 
export REGION="europe-west2" # region pulled in from environments project                                                         
export REGISTRY="europe-west2-docker.pkg.dev/myproject/tenant/mytenant" # registry url constructed based on environments project
export VERSION="53b9c85" # short git hash commit pointing to current HEAD (latest commit in currently checked out branch in that repo)                                                 
export TENANT_NAME="mytenant"

You can copy all the output and paste again in currently running shell to export all envs. Once done you can run most of the p2p Makefile targets without additional configuration.

To export those automatically in the current shell, run:

eval $(corectl p2p export --tenant <your_tenant_name> --environment <your_target_env> --repoPath <filepath_to_app_repository>)

If you omit -repoPath flag, the tool will default to current directory.

For further details run:

corectl p2p export -h
