Development Guide Milvus C++ SDK

This document helps you set up your development environment and run tests for Milvus C++ SDK. Please file an issue if you have any questions.

Supported Platforms

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Windows

Build C++ SDK with your Linux

Setup development environment

Currently, we tested the below platform and compilers for developing Milvus C++ SDK.

Platform Version Compiler Tested Support
Linux Ubuntu 18.04 GCC 7.0.0 Full (Compile, Lint, Testing)
Linux Ubuntu 20.04 GCC 9.3.0 Full (Compile, Lint, Testing)
Linux Fedora 38/39 GCC 11.2 Compile, Testing
Linux CentOS 7 GCC7 (devtoolset-7) Compile, Testing

Clone the code

$ git clone [email protected]:milvus-io/milvus-sdk-cpp.git

Install the dependencies

$ cd milvus-sdk-cpp
$ bash scrips/install_deps.sh

This script could help you set a developing environment from a minimal installation.

Build SDK

You could build the debug versioned SDK with make in the source directory.

Or make all-release to build the release version.

And you could also create a dedicated CMake build directory, then use CMake to build it from the source by yourself

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Code style for Milvus C++ SDK

Milvus C++ SDK project using the similar clang-format and clang-tidy rules from milvus-io/milvus

We have defined some naming rules in clang-tidy rules.

Using make lint under the source directory helps you to check your local modification if compliance with cpplint/clang-format/clang-tidy.

You could also execute the command make clang-format under the CMake build directory to automatic format all c++ source code

Run tests, and add testing code

Milvus C++ SDK using googletest as a test framework. You could run make test to run all tests.

If you add some new code, you'd better add related testing code together. We have below test scopes:

  • Test code under test/ut: the code could run without any Milvus server.
  • Test code under test/it: the code needs to run with a mocked server, which we called integration testing.
  • Test code under test/st: the code needs to run with a real Milvus server, which we called that acceptance testing.

Run acceptance/system tests with real Milvus server

The acceptance/system tests are not included by default. You cloud using the below commands to run them:

  • make st user the top source directory
  • make system-test under the CMake build directory

The acceptance/system tests will startup container by docker, and using jq to capture the output from docker inspect, so you need to install docker and jq tools for running them.

Run code coverage

Milvus C++ SDK using lcov tool to generate code coverage report. You could run make coverage, this command will:

  • run all unittest cases
  • generate code coverage report by lcov tool

After the command, a folder named "code_coverage" will be created under the project. You could open the code_coverage/index.html by a web browser to review the code coverage report.

Generate documentation

Milvus C++ SDK using doxygen tool to generate documentation. Run make documentation to generate documentation. Typically, we only publish documentation before releasing a new sdk version. Since the doxygen is not included in the install_deps.sh, you need to manually install it if you want to generate the documentation by yourself.

Build C++ SDK with your macOS

Setup development environment

The setup steps and development environment for macOS are similar to Linux. You could use install_deps.sh to install dependencies and use the same make commands for build, lint, test, and coverage.

Prerequests

Before you run install_deps.sh to install dependencies, you should make sure:

  • Already installed (Homebrew)[https://brew.sh/]
  • Install Command line tools for Xcode, by command: xcode-select --instal
