dagger develop​

Prepare a local module for development

Synopsis​

Ensure that a module's SDK is installed, configured, and all its files re-generated.

It has different uses in different contexts:

  • In a module without SDK: install an SDK and start an implementation
  • In a fresh checkout of a module repository: make sure IDE auto-complete is up-to-date
  • In a module with local dependencies: re-generate bindings for all dependencies
  • In a module after upgrading the engine: upgrade the target engine version, and check for breaking changes

This command is idempotent: you can run it at any time, any number of times. It will:

  1. Ensure that an SDK is installed
  2. Ensure that custom SDK configuration is applied
  3. Update the target engine version if needed
  4. Ensure that a module implementation exists, and create a starter template if not
  5. Generate the latest client bindings for the Dagger API and installed dependencies

      --compat string[="skip"]   Engine API version to target (default "latest")
      --license string           License identifier to generate. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ (default "Apache-2.0")

      --sdk string               Install the given Dagger SDK. Can be builtin (go, python, typescript) or a module address
      --source string            Source directory used by the installed SDK. Defaults to module root
