Makefile
A Makefile is a text file that contains a set of instructions or rules for building and managing software projects. It is primarily used in Unix-based operating systems, although it can also be used on other platforms with compatible tools.
test:
go test ./...
test-e2e:
go test --tags=e2e ./...
test-integration:
go test --tags=integration ./...
install:
go get
Command: test-e2e
Run end-to-end tests.
go test --tags=e2e ./...
Command: test-integration
Run integration tests.
go test --tags=integration ./...
Command: install
Install dependencies.
go get
Execute
To execute a Makefile, you need to use the make
command followed by the target you want to build or execute. Here's the basic syntax:
make [target]
By default, if you run make
without specifying a target, it will execute the first target defined in the Makefile. However, it's common practice to have a target named all
as the first target, which serves as the default target.
Here are some examples of how to execute a Makefile:
Execute the default target:
make
Execute a specific target:
make test
This will execute the
test
target in the Makefile.Execute a specific target with additional options:
make test-e2e
This will execute the
test-e2e
target in the Makefile.
Make will evaluate the Makefile and determine the dependencies and commands needed to fulfill the specified target. It will then execute the necessary commands in the specified order.
Makefiles can be powerful tools for managing complex build processes, dependencies, and other tasks in software projects.
