Build Status Go Report Card

Introduction

The oVirt Go SDK is a Go package that simplifies access to the oVirt Engine API.

IMPORTANT: This document describes how to generate, build and test the SDK. If you are interested in how to use it read the README.md file in the oVirt/go-ovirt repository instead.

Building

You must install the Go binary and setup the Go environments, including GOROOT and GOPATH.

Most of the source code of the Go SDK is automatically generated from the API model (Java).

The code generator is a Java program that resides in the generator directory. This Java program will get the API model and the metamodel artifacts (offered by oVirt team) from the available Maven repositories. To build and run it use the following commands:

$ git clone git@github.com:oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-go.git
$ cd ovirt-engine-sdk-go
$ mvn package

This will build the code generator, run it to generate the SDK for the version of the API that corresponds to the branch of the SDK that you are using.

If you need to generate it for a different version of the API then you can use the model.version property. For example, if you need to generate the SDK for version 4.1.0 of the SDK you can use this command:

$ mvn package -Dmodel.version=4.1.0

By default the build and the tests are executed using the go command. If you wish to use a different version of Go you can use the go.command property:

$ mvn package -Dgo.command=go1.7
