CONTRIB.md

Contributing and editing some of the code requires some additional steps beyond simply building LaForge.

You'll need to install three tools:

• EasyJSON
• Renum (0.0.6)
• Fileb0x

go get -u github.com/mailru/easyjson/...
go get github.com/gen0cide/renum/cmd/renum
go get -u github.com/UnnoTed/fileb0x

If you make changes to a builder (TFGCP), you will need to run go generate to repackage the template files using filebox. If you make changes within the core directory, be sure to run go generate to rebuild some JSON mappings and generated enums.

If you get the following error when running LaForge after a build:

panic: gob: registering duplicate types for "github.com/zclconf/go-cty/cty.primitiveType": cty.primitiveType != cty.primitiveType

The following steps can be taken to fix it:

1. Edit $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/terraform/vendor/github.com/zclconf/go-cty/cty/types_to_register.go
2. Comment out the following import statements:

 "math/big"
 "github.com/zclconf/go-cty/cty/set"

3. Change func init() to look like this:

 func init() {
   InternalTypesToRegister = []interface{}{
 //    primitiveType{},
 //    typeList{},
 //    typeMap{},
 //    typeObject{},
 //    typeSet{},
 //    setRules{},
 //    set.Set{},
 //    typeTuple{},
 //    big.Float{},
 //    capsuleType{},
     []interface{}(nil),
     map[string]interface{}(nil),
 45   }

4. Rebuild laforge using go build github.com/gen0cide/laforge/cmd/laforge
