Re: [Mifos-developer] Development Environment For Fineract Backenf

[Michael Vorburger <mi...@vorburger.ch>]

Kuziwa,

I'm adding dev@fineract.apache.org in CC, where more people interested in
backend development are.

I suspect that you are looking for faster turnaround for local development,
not CI/CD for e.g. UAT?

The best solution would be to use Spring Boot Dev mode, instead of WAR on
external tomcat. We are half way there to make that possible, but have a
few loose ends. Would you like to contribute to the project to make that
happen?

Best,
M.

In addition, just using the ./gradlew clean tomcatRunWar, tasks is enough
to test your changes in a local dev environment. This runs in 2 minutes.
This is how local dev is tested now given spring boot dev tools are not yet
enabled.
