mindev

mindev is a command line utility to help you develop rules and profiles for Minder.

Building

From the minder root directory, run:

make build

Usage

mindev [command]

Testing a rule type

mindev ruletype test -e /path/to/entity -p /path/to/profile -r /path/to/ruletype

ruletype test is intended for testing a single rule; the entity definition must match the rule's def.in_entity type. The tested entity is defined as a set of YAML properties in the entity file; for example, if you're testing a rule type that's targetted towards a repository, the YAML must match the repository schema.

e.g.

github/repo_name: my-repo
github/repo_owner: my-org
github/repo_id: 123456789
github/clone_url: https://github.com/my-org/my-repo.git
is_private: false
is_fork: false

You can see complete entity schema in the examples folder.

The profile is the path to the profile file. This is needed to test the rule since rules often take definitions and parameters from the profile. Note that the profile must instantiate the rule type you're testing.

The rule type is the path to the rule type file.

Finally, you will need to specify an auth token that can evaluate the rule type, using the TEST_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable. You can use gh (the GitHub CLI) to produce a GitHub auth token. For example:

TEST_AUTH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) mindev ruletype test -e /path/to/entity -p /path/to/profile -r /path/to/rule

Linting a rule type

mindev ruletype lint -r /path/to/rule

This will give you basic validations on the rule type file.
