Docker for development #422

Closed honzajavorek closed 5 years ago

honzajavorek commented 8 years ago

Dredd should provide basic Docker support for development.

It might remove dependency on specific CI (currently Travis CI) and Dredd's test suite could be easily ran anywhere.
- https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/
- https://circleci.com/docs/docker
It would allow anyone to easily run tests and contribute. We could remove Virtual Development Environment based on Vagrant.

More ideas:

Dev-focused image should come with pre-linked libraries, such as dredd-transactions, fury adapters, etc.
The dev-focused image should use .gitmessages and commitizen to help people with Conventional Changelog as much as possible
I should use the dev-focused image myself, because only such dogfooding will prevent the thing to die for unsufficient maintenance :trollface:
Maybe we could have a docker image dedicated to reproducing bugs? Does it even make any sense?

Since we're starting to support Windows now, I think it would be nice to have a Windows Docker container or a way how to quickly provision a Windows machine to develop and test Dredd.

https://github.com/apiaryio/dredd-docker/pull/1 will bring user-oriented Docker image.

I'm not sure whether Dredd developers struggle to install Dredd that much and if so, I'd rather pursue the idea of having a monorepo #704, where everything is handled within one repository instead of reinventing the wheel by npm link-ing separate projects inside a Docker image. Also, Dredd supports Windows and it seems it's not so easy to have this all handled by Docker https://github.com/apiaryio/dredd/issues/1093#issuecomment-427020850.

While I'm adding user-oriented Docker image now, the developer-oriented one is no priority for me as of now. However, I'm happy to accept contributions for such Docker image.

Monorepo with Lerna in place is the way to go. Closing.
