Contributing to Turbo

Thanks for your interest in contributing to Turbo!

General Dependencies

Linux Dependencies

  • LLD (LLVM Linker), as it's not installed by default on many Linux distributions (e.g. apt install lld).

Contributing to Turborepo

Building Turborepo

Dependencies

  1. Install turborepo crate build requirements

  2. Run pnpm install at root

Building

  • Building turbo CLI: cargo build -p turbo
  • Using turbo to build turbo CLI: ./turbow.js

TLS Implementation

Turborepo uses reqwest, a Rust HTTP client, to make requests to the Turbo API. reqwest supports two TLS implementations: rustls and native-tls. rustls is a pure Rust implementation of TLS, while native-tls is a wrapper around OpenSSL. Turborepo allows users to select which implementation they want with the native-tls and rustls-tls features. By default, the rustls-tls feature is selected---this is done so that cargo build works out of the box. If you wish to select native-tls, you may do so by passing --no-default-features --features native-tls to the build command.

Running Turborepo Tests

Install dependencies

On macOS:

brew install jq zstd

Turborepo Tests

First: npm install -g turbo.

Then from the root directory, you can run:

  • Go unit tests

    pnpm test -- --filter=cli

  • A single Go unit test (see more in the Go docs)

    cd cli && go test ./[path/to/package/]

  • Rust unit tests (install nextest first)

    cargo nextest run -p turborepo-lib --features rustls-tls

    You can also use the built in cargo test directly with cargo test -p turborepo-lib.

  • CLI Integration tests

    pnpm test -- --filter=turborepo-tests-integration

  • A single Integration test e.g to run everything in tests/run-summary:

    # build first because the next command doesn't run through turbo
pnpm -- turbo run build --filter=cli
pnpm test -F turborepo-tests-integration -- "run-summary"

    Note: this is not through turbo, so you'll have to build turbo yourself first.

  • Example tests

    pnpm test -- --filter=turborepo-tests-examples -- <example-name> <packagemanager>

Debugging Turborepo

  1. Install go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest
  2. In VS Code's "Run and Debug" tab, select Build Basic to start debugging the initial launch of turbo against the build target of the Basic Example. This task is configured in launch.json.

Benchmarking Turborepo

Follow the instructions in the benchmark/README.md.

Updating turbo

You might need to update packages/turbo in order to support a new platform. When you do that you will need to link the module in order to be able to continue working. As an example, with npm link:

cd ~/repos/vercel/turbo/packages/turbo
npm link

# Run your build, e.g. `go build ./cmd/turbo` if you're on the platform you're adding.
cd ~/repos/vercel/turbo/cli
go build ./cmd/turbo

# You can then run the basic example specifying the build asset path.
cd ~/repos/vercel/turbo/examples/basic
TURBO_BINARY_PATH=~/repos/vercel/turbo/cli/turbo.exe npm install
TURBO_BINARY_PATH=~/repos/vercel/turbo/cli/turbo.exe npm link turbo

If you're using a different package manager replace npm accordingly.

Manually testing turbo

Before releasing, it's recommended to test the turbo binary manually. Here's a checklist of testing strategies to cover:

  • Test login, logout, login --sso-team, link, unlink
  • Test prune (Note turbo here is the unreleased turbo binary)
    • pnpm dlx create-turbo@latest prune-test --package-manager pnpm && cd prune-test
    • turbo --skip-infer prune docs && cd out && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
    • turbo --skip-infer build
  • Test --dry-run and --graph.
  • Test with and without daemon.

There are also multiple installation scenarios worth testing:

  • Global-only. turbo is installed as global binary, no local turbo in repository.
  • Local-only. turbo is installed as local binary, no global turbo in PATH. turbo` is invoked via a root package script.
  • Global + local. turbo is installed as global binary, and local turbo in repository. Global turbo delegates to local turbo

Here are a few repositories that you can test on:

These lists are by no means exhaustive. Feel free to add to them with other strategies.

Publishing turbo to the npm registry

See the publishing guide.

Creating a new release blog post

Creating a new release post can be done via a turborepo generator. Run the following command from anywhere within the repo:

turbo generate run "blog - release post"

This will walk you through creating a new blog post from start to finish.

NOTE: If you would like to update the stats (github stars / npm downloads / time saved) for an existing blog post that has yet to be published (useful if time has passed since the blog post was created, and up to date stats are required before publishing) - run:

turbo generate run "blog - "blog - update release post stats"

and choose the blog post you would like to update.
