Makefile

Stoobly Scaffold Makefile - Questions & Answers

After scaffolding your app and services, you can use the Makefile located at .stoobly/services/.Makefile to manage your workflows with simple make commands.


Getting Started with Make Commands

Q: Where is the Makefile located after scaffolding?

A: The Makefile is automatically created at .stoobly/services/.Makefile in your application directory after scaffolding.

Example:

cd /path/to/your-app
ls .stoobly/services/.Makefile

Q: How do I run make commands from my project root?

A: Use the -f flag to specify the Makefile path, or create a symlink in your project root.

Example:

# Option 1: Specify the Makefile path
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile record

# Option 2: Create a symlink (one-time setup)
ln -s .stoobly/services/.Makefile Makefile
make record

A: Set the STOOBLY_HOSTNAME_INSTALL_CONFIRM environment variable to y to automatically confirm hostname installation.

Example:

export STOOBLY_HOSTNAME_INSTALL_CONFIRM=y
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile record

Example:

export STOOBLY_WORKFLOW_SERVICE_OPTIONS="--service api --service frontend"
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile mock

Combining Multiple Environment Variables

Q: How do I run a fully automated workflow without any prompts?

A: Set both hostname and CA certificate confirmation environment variables before running the workflow.

Example:

export STOOBLY_HOSTNAME_INSTALL_CONFIRM=y
export STOOBLY_CA_CERTS_INSTALL_CONFIRM=y
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile record

Q: How do I run a workflow with custom directories and environment?

export STOOBLY_WORKFLOW_SERVICE_OPTIONS="--service api"
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile mock

Troubleshooting

Q: How do I check if stoobly-agent is installed?

A: The Makefile automatically checks and installs stoobly-agent via pipx if needed. You can manually trigger this with make stoobly/install.

Example:

make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile stoobly/install

Q: How do I verify Python version compatibility?

A: Use make python/validate to check if you have a compatible Python version (3.10, 3.11, or 3.12).

Example:

make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile python/validate

Q: What do I do if pipx is not installed?

A: The Makefile automatically installs pipx if it's missing. You can manually trigger this with make pipx/install.

Example:

make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile pipx/install

Q: How do I view what services are configured?

A: Use the workflow-specific services command to list all configured services.

Example:

make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile record/services
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile mock/services
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile test/services

CI/CD Integration

Q: How do I use the Makefile in CI/CD pipelines?

A: Set all confirmation environment variables to avoid prompts and run the desired workflow commands.

Example:

#!/bin/bash
# CI/CD script example
export STOOBLY_HOSTNAME_INSTALL_CONFIRM=y
export STOOBLY_CA_CERTS_INSTALL_CONFIRM=y
export STOOBLY_APP_DIR=$PWD

# Start test workflow
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile test

# Run your tests here
# ...

# Clean up
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile test/down

Q: How do I run workflows in Docker containers?

A: The Makefile automatically handles Docker-based workflows. Ensure Docker is running and accessible.

Example:

# Verify Docker is running
docker ps

# Start workflow (automatically uses Docker)
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile record

Quick Reference

make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile test      # Start testing

# Stop workflows
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile record/down
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile mock/down
make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile test/down

Q: How do I create an alias for easier make command usage?

A: Add an alias to your shell configuration file for convenience.

Example:

# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
alias smake='make -f .stoobly/services/.Makefile'

# Then use it like:
smake record
smake mock/down
smake scenario/list
