Documentation & Support

Be sure to read the getting started guide and the other feature guides.

Run from master

If you want to build a package yourself, or contribute - Here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find the latest master builds here

Dependencies

• Go 1.9
• NodeJS LTS

Building the backend

go get github.com/grafana/grafana
cd ~/go/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
go run build.go setup
go run build.go build

Building frontend assets

For this you need nodejs (v.6+).

npm install -g yarn
yarn install --pure-lockfile
npm run watch

Run tests

npm run jest

Run karma tests

npm run karma

Recompile backend on source change

To rebuild on source change.

go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
bra run

Open grafana in your browser (default: http://localhost:3000) and login with admin user (default: user/pass = admin/admin).

Dev config

Create a custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options. You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:

1. grafana.ini
2. custom.ini

In your custom.ini uncomment (remove the leading ;) sign. And set app_mode = development.

Running tests

Frontend

Execute all frontend tests

npm run test

Writing & watching frontend tests (we have two test runners)

• jest for all new tests that do not require browser context (React+more)
  • Start watcher: npm run jest
  • Jest will run all test files that end with the name ".jest.ts"
• karma + mocha is used for testing angularjs components. We do want to migrate these test to jest over time (if possible).
  • Start watcher: npm run karma
  • Karma+Mocha runs all files that end with the name "_specs.ts".

Backend

# Run Golang tests using sqlite3 as database (default)
go test ./pkg/... 

# Run Golang tests using mysql as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/mysql_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test ./pkg/... 

# Run Golang tests using postgres as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/postgres_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test ./pkg/...
