# Useful Developer Tools 

<div id="toc"></div>

### Developing `zeppelin-web`

Check [zeppelin-web: Local Development](https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/tree/master/zeppelin-web#local-development).

### Tools

#### SVM: Scala Version Manager

[svm](https://github.com/yuroyoro/svm) would be useful when changing scala version frequently.

#### JDK change script: OSX
 
this script would be helpful when changing JDK version frequently.

```
function setjdk() {
  if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then
  # written based on OSX. 
  # use diffrent base path for other OS
  removeFromPath '/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/bin'
  if [ -n "${JAVA_HOME+x}" ]; then
    removeFromPath $JAVA_HOME
  fi
  export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v $@`
  export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  fi
}
function removeFromPath() {
  export PATH=$(echo $PATH | sed -E -e "s;:$1;;" -e "s;$1:?;;")
}
```
    
you can use this function like `setjdk 1.8` / `setjdk 1.7`

### Building Submodules Selectively 

```
# build `zeppelin-web` only
mvn clean -pl 'zeppelin-web' package -DskipTests;

# build `zeppelin-server` and its dependencies only
mvn clean package -pl 'spark,spark-dependencies,python,markdown,zeppelin-server' --am -DskipTests

# build spark related modules with default profiles: scala 2.10 
mvn clean package -pl 'spark,spark-dependencies,zeppelin-server' --am -DskipTests

# build spark related modules with profiles: scala 2.11, spark 2.1 hadoop 2.7 
./dev/change_scala_version.sh 2.11
mvn clean package -Pspark-2.1 -Phadoop-2.7 -Pscala-2.11 -pl 'spark,spark-dependencies,zeppelin-server' --am -DskipTests

# build `zeppelin-server` and `markdown` with dependencies
mvn clean package -pl 'markdown,zeppelin-server' --am -DskipTests
```

### Running Individual Tests

```
# run the `HeliumBundleFactoryTest` test class
mvn test -pl 'zeppelin-server' --am -DfailIfNoTests=false -Dtest=HeliumBundleFactoryTest
```

### Running Selenium Tests

Make sure that Zeppelin instance is started to execute integration tests (= selenium tests).

```
# run the `SparkParagraphIT` test class
TEST_SELENIUM="true" mvn test -pl 'zeppelin-server' --am -DfailIfNoTests=false -Dtest=SparkParagraphIT

# run the `testSqlSpark` test function only in the `SparkParagraphIT` class
# but note that, some test might be dependent on the previous tests
TEST_SELENIUM="true" mvn test -pl 'zeppelin-server' --am -DfailIfNoTests=false -Dtest=SparkParagraphIT#testSqlSpark
```
