Tests

leakybucket is built and tested against Go 1.2. Ensure this is the version of Go you're running with go version. Make sure your GOPATH is set, e.g. export GOPATH=~/go. Clone the repository to a location outside your GOPATH, and symlink it to $GOPATH/src/github.com/Clever/leakybucket. If you have gvm installed, you can make this symlink by running the following from the root of where you have cloned the repository: gvm linkthis github.com/Clever/leakybucket.

If you have done all of the above, then you should be able to run

make

If you'd like to see a code coverage report, install the cover tool (go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/cover), make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your PATH, and run:

COVERAGE=1 make

If you'd like to see lint your code, install golint (go get github.com/golang/lint/golint) and run:

LINT=1 make
