As an open-source project we welcome contributions of many forms, but you should reach out to us before starting work on any major code changes. This will ensure we avoid duplicating work, or that your code can't be merged due to a rapidly changing base.
The project uses git submodules to include the datadog shared library. From the project root:
git submodule init
git submodule update
To integrate new tracing and profiling features from the datadog shared library please refer to this guide.
The easiest way to get the development environment set up is to install Docker and Docker Compose.
The PHP tracer conforms to the PSR-2 coding style guide. The code style is checked with PHP_CodeSniffer which can be invoked with the following command:
$ composer lint
To try to automatically fix the code style, you can run:
$ composer fix-lint
While tests in CI run on all php versions, you typically develop on one version locally. Currently the latest local
dev environment we support is 8.3
.
Ensure that docker has at least 12 GB of RAM available, otherwise composer may run out of memory or the tmpfs volume used to build the extension may run out of space.
Execute one the following commands from your command line, this will bring up all required services:
# For 7.0
$ docker-compose run --rm 7.0-buster bash
# For 7.1
$ docker-compose run --rm 7.1-buster bash
# For 7.2
$ docker-compose run --rm 7.2-buster bash
# For 7.3
$ docker-compose run --rm 7.3-buster bash
# For 7.4
$ docker-compose run --rm 7.4-buster bash
# For 8.0
$ docker-compose run --rm 8.0-buster bash
# For 8.1
$ docker-compose run --rm 8.1-buster bash
# For 8.2
$ docker-compose run --rm 8.2-buster bash
# For 8.3
$ docker-compose run --rm 8.3-buster bash
📝 Note: To run the container in debug mode, pass
docker-compose
an environment variable:DD_TRACE_DOCKER_DEBUG=1
, eg:
docker-compose run --rm 8.2-buster -e DD_TRACE_DOCKER_DEBUG=1 bash
Once inside the container, update dependencies with Composer.
$ composer update
Then install the ddtrace
extension.
$ composer install-ext
📝 Note: You'll need to run the above
install-ext
command to install theddtrace
extension every time you access the container's bash for the first time.
You can check that the extension was installed properly.
$ php --ri=ddtrace
You should see output similar to the following:
ddtrace
Datadog PHP tracer extension
For help, check out the documentation at https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/languages/php/
(c) Datadog 2020
Datadog tracing support => enabled
Version => 1.0.0-nightly
DATADOG TRACER CONFIGURATION => ...
First you need to update composer's dependecies in ./tests
folder:
$ make composer_tests_update
📝 Note: To disable reliance on the generated files during development and testing, set the following environment variable:
export DD_AUTOLOAD_NO_COMPILE=true
Then you can run tests:
# Run all tests
$ make test_all
# Run unit tests (tests/Unit folder)
$ make test_unit
# Run integration tests (tests/Integration folder)
$ make test_integration
# Run auto-instrumentation tests (tests/AutoInstrumentation folder)
$ make test_auto_instrumentation
# Run composer integration tests (tests/Composer folder)
$ make test_composer
# Run distributed tracing tests (tests/DistributedTracing folder)
$ make test_distributed_tracing
# Run library integrations tests (tests/Integrations folder)
$ make test_integrations
# Run web frameworks integrations tests
$ make test_web
# Run C Tests (the ones in tests/ext)
$ make test_c
# Run PHP benchmarks
$ make benchmarks
# Run OPcache PHP benchmarks
$ make benchmarks_opcache
In order to run the phpt
tests for the php extension:
$ composer test-ext
When you're done with development, you can stop and remove the containers with the following:
$ docker-compose down -v
Snapshot testing is utilized in some tests to validate the output of the tracer. To update the snapshots when modifying the tracer's output, follow these steps:
- Delete the previous snapshot file located in tests/snapshots that corresponds to the relevant tests.
- Run the tests again after updating the library.
- A new snapshot file will be automatically generated.
When creating new tests that utilize snapshots, the initial run will generate a snapshot file in the tests/snapshots
directory. For example, if the test is DDTrace\Tests\Integrations\Framework\VX\TestClass::testFunction()
,
the corresponding snapshot file would be tests.integrations.framework.vx.test_class.test_function
. Subsequent test runs
will compare the tracer's output with the generated snapshot file.
Always ensure that the generated snapshot file contains the expected output before committing it. It is important to review the snapshot file to maintain the accuracy of the tests.
There are a number of checks that are run automatically with CircleCI when a PR is submitted. To ensure your PHP code changes pass the CircleCI checks, make sure to run all the same checks before submitting a PR.
$ composer composer lint && test-all-<php-version>
