Setting up environment

Building

After cloning the repository you can check your changes made to source code without compiling whole library. Just run npm start to run this tool through ts-node. It helps with development speed and avoids problem with setting correct sourcemaps when debugging.

However if you want to build typeorm-model-generator you can do this by running

npm run build

this might come handy if you want to build full pipeline workflow with typeorm-model-generator and install it through npm link.

Running Tests Locally

To run tests you need to have docker and docker-compose installed. You may also use non-dockerized database servers but it's not recommended - they might use non-default settings.

Oracle Database

If you want to run oracle tests locally you must have oracle client configured for your machine and accepted oracle license on DockerHub. Because of oracle client limitations i.e. it's not distributed for 32bit environments you have to install oracledb manually

npm install oracledb --no-save

Configuration

Tests use environment values to connect to multiple database engines. For developer convenience there is already prepared env file with default connection settings for connecting to dockerized db engines. This is also the place you can disable testing on specific db engine. You just need to rename the env file

cp .env.dit .env

Database engines

Next you have to start db engines. If you want to test all of the drivers and have configured oracle correctly you can just

docker-compose up -d

You can also start just specific database engines e.g.

docker-compose up -d mysql postgres mariadb
