commit 081987b647 updated the Dockerfile
to disable go's telemetry in our dev / test-environment; as collecting
this data doesn't serve much purpose.
However, the configuration to disable telemetry is tied to the user's
home-directory (HOME); and disabling telemetry writs a config-file to the
user's home-directory (`~/.config/go/telemetry/mode`). While go provides
env-vars about the mode and location (`GOTELEMETRY` and `GOTELEMETRYDIR`),
those env-vars are read-only and cannot be used to either disable telemetry
or to set the location;
> Information about telemetry configuration is also available via read-only Go environment variables:
>
> go env GOTELEMETRY reports the telemetry mode.
> go env GOTELEMETRYDIR reports the directory holding telemetry configuration and data.
Some steps in our CI set up a different home-directory, which is not configured
to disable telemetry, which means that CI currently leaves behind a bunch of
files related to this;
make TEST_FILTER=TestPruneDontDeleteUsedDangling test-integration
tree -a bundles/test-integration/fake-HOME/
bundles/test-integration/fake-HOME/
└── .config
└── go

This patch disables go telemetry also for this home-directory to prevent
those files from being created, and to prevent go from producing the
telemetry.
With this patch, only the file to disable telemetry is produced:
make TEST_FILTER=TestPruneDontDeleteUsedDangling test-integration
tree -a bundles/test-integration/fake-HOME/
bundles/test-integration/fake-HOME/
└── .config
└── go
└── telemetry

About
This directory contains a collection of scripts used to build and manage this repository. If there are any issues regarding the intention of a particular script (or even part of a certain script), please reach out to us. It may help us either refine our current scripts, or add on new ones that are appropriate for a given use case.
DinD (dind.sh)
DinD is a wrapper script which allows Docker to be run inside a Docker container. DinD requires the container to be run with privileged mode enabled.
Generate Authors (generate-authors.sh)
Generates AUTHORS; a file with all the names and corresponding emails of individual contributors. AUTHORS can be found in the home directory of this repository.
Make
There are two make files, each with different extensions. Neither are supposed
to be called directly; only invoke make. Both scripts run inside a Docker
container.
make.ps1
- The Windows native build script that uses PowerShell semantics; it is limited
unlike
hack\make.shsince it does not provide support for the full set of operations provided by the Linux counterpart,make.sh. However,make.ps1does provide support for local Windows development and Windows to Windows CI. More information is found withinmake.ps1by the author, @jhowardmsft
make.sh
- Referenced via
make testwhen running tests on a local machine, or directly referenced when running tests inside a Docker development container. - When running on a local machine,
make testto run all tests found intest,test-unit,test-integration, andtest-docker-pyon your local machine. The default timeout is set inmake.shto 60 minutes (${TIMEOUT:=60m}), since it currently takes up to an hour to run all of the tests. - When running inside a Docker development container,
hack/make.shdoes not have a single target that runs all the tests. You need to provide a single command line with multiple targets that performs the same thing. An example referenced from Run targets inside a development container:root@5f8630b873fe:/go/src/github.com/moby/moby# hack/make.sh dynbinary binary test-unit test-integration test-docker-py - For more information related to testing outside the scope of this README, refer to Run tests and test documentation
Vendor (vendor.sh)
A shell script that is a wrapper around go mod vendor.
