Scripts and Automation

Overview

Use the Makefile as the primary automation surface for this Go module. This repository builds a Caddy command binary at bin/authcrunch from cmd/authcrunch/main.go; the binary registers the security app, the authenticate and authorize integrations, Caddy standard modules, and caddy-trace.

Prefer narrow go test commands for quick validation while editing. Use the Makefile targets when the user asks for the repository workflow, reports, release preparation, fixture formatting, or CI-like behavior.

Command Selection

• Use go test ./... for a fast all-package check without coverage reports.
• Use go test -run <TestName> ./... for focused validation.
• Use make build to compile cmd/authcrunch/main.go into bin/authcrunch, print the binary version, and format assets/**/Caddyfile files.
• Use make when the user asks for the default build; it runs info and build.
• Use make test for the full local workflow: create .coverage, install test report tools if missing, run go test -json -v ./..., write .coverage/test_output.jsonl, generate coverage and test-output reports, and fail if any JSON test action failed. Review the resulting .coverage/coverage.html and .coverage/test_output.html files in a browser for easy coverage and test-output inspection.
• Use make qtest only when the Makefile's current QUICK_TEST_PATTERN is the desired scope. Prefer direct go test -run ... ./... instead of editing the Makefile just to run a different quick test.
• Use make run-reports only after .coverage/test_output.jsonl and .coverage/coverage.out exist.
• Use make coverage after a previous coverage run or make test; the target reads .coverage/coverage.out before it refreshes coverage.
• Use make fmtcfg to format Caddyfile fixtures under testdata/caddyfile_adapt and assets/config; it requires an existing bin/authcrunch.
• Use make clean only when cleanup is requested; it removes generated .coverage/ and bin/ directories.

If documentation mentions make ctest, treat it as stale in this repository and choose make test, make qtest, or direct go test instead.

Tooling and Dependencies

The module declares Go 1.25.0 and Caddy v2.11.2.

• make dep installs developer tools with go install, including golint, xcaddy, versioned, and richgo.
• make install-test-tools installs richgo, tparse, and go-test-report if they are missing.
• go mod tidy, go mod verify, go mod download, go install, and xcaddy may require network access.

When a dependency or module command fails because of sandboxed network access, rerun it with the normal escalation flow instead of replacing the repository workflow with an ad hoc workaround.

Development Builds

make devbuild uses xcaddy to build Caddy into bin/authcrunch with this module, caddy-security-secrets-static-secrets-manager, caddy-trace, and a local go-authcrunch replacement. It writes to the sibling directory ../xcaddy-caddy-security, but the current Makefile hard-codes the go-authcrunch replacement path in its --replace argument instead of using the generic ../go-authcrunch path.

Run make devbuild only when the user explicitly wants that integrated local Caddy build and the sibling output plus hard-coded go-authcrunch path are acceptable for the current machine, or after updating the Makefile path deliberately.

Local go-authcrunch Development

Development in caddy-security often connects this module to a local github.com/greenpau/go-authcrunch checkout that sits next to the caddy-security directory in the filesystem tree. If caddy-security is at <parent>/caddy-security, assume go-authcrunch is at <parent>/go-authcrunch; from this repository, that path is ../go-authcrunch.

Use a Go module replacement when the user is aligning caddy-security changes with parallel local go-authcrunch work. Read the currently required go-authcrunch version from this repository's go.mod:

go list -m -f '{{.Version}}' github.com/greenpau/go-authcrunch

Then use that required version in the replacement command:

go mod edit -replace github.com/greenpau/go-authcrunch@<go-authcrunch-version-from-go.mod>=../go-authcrunch

The replacement shim in go.mod should generally stay while caddy-security depends on local go-authcrunch changes that are still in progress.

In the normal sequence, go-authcrunch changes first, such as implementing a new feature, and then caddy-security changes to use that feature through the local replacement. After there are no more go-authcrunch changes, and the target go-authcrunch version has been updated, remove the local replace directive, sync caddy-security to the new go-authcrunch version, and test. make sync removes local go-authcrunch replacements after updating references.

Asset and Documentation Scripts

assets/scripts/generate_downloads.sh rewrites Caddy download links in README.md using VERSION, github.com/greenpau/caddy-security, and the hard-coded github.com/greenpau/caddy-trace version. It is called by make release-update-version and make license.

assets/scripts/update_doc_refs.sh reads ../go-authcrunch/VERSION, updates go-authcrunch references in CONTRIBUTING.md, Makefile, and go.mod, removes local go-authcrunch replace directives from go.mod, then runs go mod tidy, go mod verify, make, and make test. make sync invokes this script.

Use make sync only for an explicit go-authcrunch reference refresh. The script assumes a sibling ../go-authcrunch checkout and uses BSD/macOS sed -i '' syntax.

Release and Version Targets

Treat release targets as human-operator actions unless the user explicitly asks for a release workflow.

• make release-git-check runs go mod tidy, go mod verify, requires the current branch to be main, and requires a clean git worktree.
• make release-update-version runs versioned -patch, refreshes README download links, and stages VERSION, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and Makefile.
• make release-git-commit creates a release commit, creates an annotated tag, pushes commits, and pushes tags.
• make release chains release-git-check, build, release-update-version, and release-git-commit.
• .github/workflows/release.yml runs GoReleaser on v* tags or manual dispatch. .goreleaser.yaml builds cmd/authcrunch for Linux, Windows, and Darwin on amd64 and arm64.

Never push commits or tags, create release tags, or run the chained release target unless the user has explicitly requested that action.

Other Targets

• make upgrade runs go get -u ./... and go mod tidy; use it only for an explicit dependency upgrade.
• make license applies the repository license header to every Go file with versioned and regenerates download links; expect broad source changes.
• make logo requires GraphicsMagick gm and rewrites assets/docs/images/logo.png.
• make linter is currently a placeholder and does not run golint.

Generated Artifacts

Do not treat generated outputs as source changes unless the user explicitly asks to update or commit them.

• bin/authcrunch is produced by build/devbuild targets.
• .coverage/coverage.html, .coverage/coverage.out, .coverage/test_output.jsonl, and .coverage/test_output.html are produced by make test and report targets. They contain coverage stats and test output reports; the HTML files are browser-friendly review artifacts.
• ../xcaddy-caddy-security is produced by make devbuild outside the repo.

Formatted Caddyfiles, README download links, VERSION, go.mod, and go.sum can be intentional source changes depending on the target. Review the diff before deciding whether to keep them.

CI Notes

The build workflow runs on Ubuntu with Go 1.25.x. It installs make and libnss3-tools, runs make dep, go mod tidy, go mod verify, go mod download, make test || true, make test, then make coverage, and uploads .coverage/coverage.html.

The CLA workflow may update assets/cla/signatures.json through GitHub automation. Do not edit CLA signatures or consent files unless the user asks.
