Dev Environment for LeakCanary contributors

Setup

  • Download Android Studio
  • We use two spaces code indentation, use SquareAndroid code style settings from https://github.com/square/java-code-styles
  • Build with ./gradlew build
  • Running the failing UI tests to confirm leak detection correctly fails UI tests: ./gradlew leakcanary-sample:connectedCheck
  • Normal UI tests: ./gradlew leakcanary-support-fragment:connectedCheck

Static Code Analysis

  • LeakCanary uses tool Detekt for static Code analysis
  • Analyze whole project with ./gradlew check or particular modules with ./gradlew :module-name:check. Detekt will fail the build if any ruleset violations are found. You should fix all issues before pushing the branch to remote.
    • There's also a git pre-push hook that will run analysis automatically before pushing branch to remote. If there are any violations - it will prevent the push. Fix the issues!
    • You can bypass the git hook though; Travis CI will still run checks and will fail if any violations are found.
  • Detekt report will be printed in console and saved to `/moduleDir/build/reports/
