Building and testing
--------------------
You will need to have GRPC installed already. See the "Installing GRPC" section
below for more information.
If you want to use `stack` on MacOS, you will need to have GRPC installed
already -- see the [Installing GRPC for `stack`](#stackgrpc) section below. Any
example build and test recipes below which use `stack` assume you have already
performed the steps described in that section.
`nix-build release.nix -A grpc-haskell` will build and test the whole thing and
put the completed package into the nix store.
`nix-shell` can be used to give you a development environment where you can use
the `cabal` and `stack test` toolchains for development and testing iteration.
Without `stack`, `nix-build release.nix -A grpc-haskell` will build and test the
whole thing and put the completed package into the nix store. `nix-shell` can be

Note that, for `stack`, the `nix-shell` environment is only needed to run the

testing). You should still be able to `stack build` without using the

by `stack`.

NB: You can also instruct `stack` to run the tests inside the `nix-shell`
environment directly, via `stack --nix test --fast`. However, this will

Finally, since `stack` does not use `nix` for any Haskell dependencies,
repository references for dependent packages such as `protobuf-wire` must be
updated both in `nix/<pkg>.nix` AND in the `stack.yaml`.

Installing GRPC for `stack`
---------------------------
<a name="stackgrpc"></a>Installing GRPC for `stack` (MacOS)
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you want to use the `stack` tooling, you will need a working installation of
the GRPC C core libraries.
If you want to use `stack` in a relatively natural and painless manner, you will
need a working installation of the GRPC C core libraries.
On MacOS, because
of [this](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1161), dependencies
on the nix-built `grpc` don't work properly, so the library needs to be
installed somewhere the linker will pick it up without `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` set.
On MacOS, because of
issues [related](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1161) to
System Integrity Protection, dependencies on the nix-built `grpc` don't seem to
work properly in the stack toolflow when `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` refers to the
`nix`-built `grpc` library in the nix store, so the library needs to be
installed somewhere that the loader can pick it up without `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`
set (e.g., in `/usr/local/lib`).
We suggest that use `brew` to do this:
There are basically two methods to accomplish this:
```
brew tap grpc/grpc
brew edit grpc
...
brew install grpc
```
1. Run `bin/install-macos-nix-grpc.sh`.
Make sure you select a release version that is reasonably close to our grpc
dependency, e.g.:
This script will build the same version of `grpc` used in `release.nix`, which
is what is used in the end-to-end system and in our CI testing flows. It then
pretends to be an impoverished version of `brew` and installs symlinks from
the nix store into `/usr/local/include/grpc` and
`/usr/local/lib/libgrpc.dylib`. It should be run manually whenever the `grpc`
dependency is updated. Note that it is intentionally destructive to any
existing `brew` installs of `grpc`.
```
url "https://github.com/grpc/grpc/archive/release-0_15_0.tar.gz"
sha256 "d02235dff278869e94cb0dcb31cfea935693c6f87bd73f43d44147185e6becdd"
```
Is it an ugly hack? Yes, but it's better than having either a rootless system
to circumvent SIP or building atop a version of `grpc` which may differ from
CI and production environments (which may be the case with `brew`-installed
grpc).
or
After running this script, you should be able to use `stack` normally, in
combination with a `nix-shell` environment for running the tests:
```
url "https://github.com/grpc/grpc/archive/v1.0.1.tar.gz"
sha256 "efad782944da13d362aab9b81f001b7b8b1458794751de818e9848c47acd4b32"
```
```bash
$ bin/install-macos-nix-grpc.sh
$ stack build --fast
$ stack --nix test --fast
```
1. Use `brew`
If you don't want to hack the global pathing yourself using the above script,
you can rely on homebrew to do this for you instead. However, you will need to
specify the version of the `grpc` release that you want to use.
```bash
$ brew tap grpc/grpc
$ brew edit grpc
$ brew install grpc
```
Make sure you select a release version that is reasonably close to our grpc
dependency, e.g.:
```
url "https://github.com/grpc/grpc/archive/release-0_15_0.tar.gz"
sha256 "d02235dff278869e94cb0dcb31cfea935693c6f87bd73f43d44147185e6becdd"
```
or
```

sha256 "efad782944da13d362aab9b81f001b7b8b1458794751de818e9848c47acd4b32"
```
