How to test and debug plugins while contributing?

libook · Jun 9th 2023

Hi, I would like to contribute code for core plugins. How can I test or debug them to ensure they are running as expected? Is there any guide?

You have to install them on you test system.

You can use Vagrant to setup a local test system. Then simply SSH into the system, cd /home/vagrant/openmediavault/openmediavault-<PLUGIN>

Test Salt an UI code

Code

cp -rv srv/* /srv
cp -rf usr/* usr

Debug your PHP code

Code

monit stop omv-engined
omv-engined -d -f

You can use a container to build the plugin for final tests.
