Development environment question

Hi,

I have a question regarding the XWiki development environment. I did not find a clear answer to it in the guide (https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/). The question:

What steps should I implement in order to run Jetty HSQLDB XWiki server in the development environment (after mvn install executed in xwiki-commons, xwiki-rendering and xwiki-platform, without going via distributions). Some hints regarding following configuration are welcome too.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

so if you want to run a version of XWiki after making some changes locally you need to actually run mvn install in xwiki-platform-distribution and then check the module xwiki-platform-distribution-flavor-jetty-hsqldb: that’s the one containing a packaged distribution of xwiki with the standard flavor. You can then check in target directory, there’s a zip you can extract to run it.

Does it answer your question?

Does this help: https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building/ ?

There’s also https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Testing/ (check the functional tests especially).

Let me know if this helps or if it doesn’t (so that we can improve the doc).

Thx
