Development Environment

Run docker-compose up in the repo root directory to run Spin Cycle locally using the jobs and specs in dev/. Then compile spinc:

~/Development/go/src/github.com/square/spincycle/spinc/bin$ go build -o spinc

~/Development/go/src/github.com/square/spincycle/spinc/bin$ ./spinc
Request Manager address: http://127.0.0.1:32308

Requests:
  test

spinc help  <request>
spinc start <request>

The first line indicates that spinc is querying Spin Cycle locally.

Ideally, production could be simulated locally, allowing you to develop and test real Spin Cycle requests on your laptop. But in reality, this is rarely possible. The development environment is a laboratory for experimenting with and learning about Spin Cycle, and “lab work” usually needs to be adapted for production use.

Rebuild

Docker containers, once built, are static. If you change files in dev/, you must docker-compose build to rebuild the containers, which copies dev/.
