Build and Execution #

Executing the server #

To build the ticket system, you can run the following command from the repository’s root folder:

go build ./cmd/ticketsystem

Make sure to build the executable from the mentioned directory so that the default paths still apply correctly. Your binary should be located at ticketsystem or ticketsystem.exe depending on your operating system then which can be executed with

./ticketsystem [options]

A more convenient way to start the server is to use the start scripts in the root directory. Run

./startServer.sh [options]

or startServer.bat on Windows systems. The same applies to the command-line tool (./startCLI.sh and startCLI.bat). Note that the start scripts do not require a previous build using go build. See the Server Usage page and the CLI Usage page for a list of valid options.

Executing the tests #

The unit tests for the different components of the server can be executed with the following command from the root directory:

go test -v ./...

Alternatively, a coverage report can be generated by using the script coverage_report.sh. This executes all tests with a coverage analysis and documents the results in an output report. Learn more about this procedure on Generating a Coverage Report.
