Before proceeding, ensure that Docker Desktop is installed on your computer and using the WSL backend if using Windows.
By default, the extension will pull the copa image from ghcr.io/project-copacetic/copa-extension and use that for the patching operation. If you would like to make modifications to this image and test locally, you need to build the copa-extension image image specified in the /container/copa-extension folder.
Run the following make command in the root directory to install it:
make build-copa-image
After the command finishes, confirm that the image copa-extension is listed when you run the command docker images. Once confirmed, change the IMAGE_NAME variable in app.tsx to point to copa-extension instead of ghcr.io/project-copacetic/copa-extension.
Change back to the root directory of the repository and run the following two commands:
make build-extension
make install-extension
After following the steps, the extension should be successfully installed in Docker Desktop. If you make any changes to the code, run make update-extension to see those changes reflected.
To use Visual Studio Code IntelliSense features (code completion, parameter info, quick info, and member lists), you need to install the node and yarn packages locally.
After installing Node.js, change to the /ui directory and run the following command:
npm install
If making changes to the testing code in /e2e, run npm install --global yarn to install the yarn package manager and then run the following command in the /e2e directory:
yarn install
