Dear wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.
The page "Running CouchDB in Dev Mode" has been deleted by JoanTouzet: https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Running%20CouchDB%20in%20Dev%20Mode?action=diff&rev1=10&rev2=11 Comment: See README-DEV.rst in the repo - <<Include(EditTheWiki)>> - ## page was renamed from Running_Couchdb_in_Dev_Mode - This only applies if you need to make changes to the CouchDB server or to the Futon web front-end. - - === Prerequisites === - You need to have installed CouchDB from source. See [[Installing_from_source]]. - - === Create a Development Configuration === - The following commands set up a CouchDB configuration that points to the location of your SVN checkout. - - Run these commands: - - {{{ - $ cd YOUR_COUCHDB_CHECKOUT_DIRECTORY - $ ./bootstrap - $ ./configure - $ make dev - }}} - You can change defaults such as port number and passwords in `./etc/couchdb/local_dev.ini`. Now start CouchDB by calling this command: - - {{{ - $ utils/run - }}} - Your CouchDB server has been started as a foreground process. You should see messages similar to this: - - {{{ - Apache CouchDB 0.11.0b885334 (LogLevel=info) is starting. - Apache CouchDB has started. Time to relax. - [info] [<0.32.0>] Apache CouchDB has started on http://127.0.0.1:5984/ - }}} - You can change to background, reset config files, redirect output etc via command line arguments. (Note only one dash in front of help.) - - {{{ - $ utils/run -help - }}} - - === Ubuntu 9.10 === - - This is how you can run the dev version side by side with the Ubuntu version. The main difficulties are Javascript engine paths as documented by [[http://mattgoodall.blogspot.com/2009/09/build-couchdb-on-ubuntu-910-karmic.html|Matt Goodall]]. You need to specify `LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7` before every command as well as provide extra parameters to configure. (Note the final digit changes with each Firefox update - check your /usr/lib directory to find the correct number. You also need to rebuild when that digit changes.) - - Get all the needed build time packages: - - {{{ - $ sudo apt-get install libtool help2man erlang-nox erlang-dev libicu-dev xulrunner-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential automake - }}} - - Checkout source code and build it: - {{{ - $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/trunk couchdb - $ cd couchdb - $ ./bootstrap - $ LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7 ./configure --with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.7/lib/ --with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.7/include - $ LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7 make dev - }}} - - Now edit `./etc/default/local_dev.ini` and change the port. I use 5984 (default) for the Ubuntu install and 5985 for this dev version. - - {{{ - $ LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.7 utils/run - }}} - - === Run with debugger === - By default, make dev does not add debug information, so loading the debugger will not work. To start the debugger when CouchDB starts, add the following debugger:start() line to src/couchdb/couch.erl: - {{{ - start() -> - debugger:start(), - application:start(couch). - }}} - Now recompile all sources with ERLC_FLAGS set to enable debug information: - {{{ - make clean - xulrunner_gre_version=`xulrunner --gre-version` - export ERLC_FLAGS=+debug_info - LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-${xulrunner_gre_version}/lib/ ./configure --with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-${xulrunner_gre_version}/lib/ --with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-${xulrunner_gre_version}/include/ && ERLC_FLAGS=+debug_info make dev - }}} - then use the following command to start a CouchDB with local configuration: - {{{ - xulrunner_gre_version=`xulrunner --gre-version` - LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-${xulrunner_gre_version}/lib/ ./utils/run - }}} - the debugger window should appear and using "Module" -> "Interpret..." will allow you to select the source code for modules you want to track. As an example select src/couchdb/couch_db.erl and visit '/_utils/' in the browser to see calls coming in. -
