Local Development Guide

This guide covers how to clone, set up, and run OpenFrame OSS Tenant services locally for development.

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/flamingo-stack/openframe-oss-tenant.git
cd openframe-oss-tenant

Running Spring Boot Services Locally

Build All Services

# Build all modules, skip tests
mvn clean install -DskipTests

# Build with tests
mvn clean install

Build a Single Service

# Build only the API service and its dependencies
mvn clean install -pl openframe/services/openframe-api -am -DskipTests

Run a Service

Each Spring Boot service can be run from its module directory:

# Start the API service
cd openframe/services/openframe-api
mvn spring-boot:run

Or from the root using the module flag:

mvn spring-boot:run -pl openframe/services/openframe-api

Typical Service Startup Order

To run the full stack locally, start services in this order (infrastructure first):

1. MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, NATS, Cassandra, Pinot (via your container setup)
2. openframe-config (Spring Cloud Config Server)
3. openframe-authorization-server
4. openframe-api
5. openframe-client (Spring Boot agent service)
6. openframe-stream
7. openframe-management
8. openframe-gateway
9. openframe-external-api

Running the Rust Agent (openframe-client)

cd clients/openframe-client

# Development build
OPENFRAME_VERSION=0.0.0-dev cargo build

# Enable dev mode for local directories and relaxed TLS
export OPENFRAME_DEV_MODE=1

# Run the agent directly (no system service)
./target/debug/openframe-client run

# Run health checks
./target/debug/openframe-client doctor

Hot Reload for Rust

Rust does not have built-in hot reload, but cargo-watch provides file-watching:

# Install cargo-watch
cargo install cargo-watch

# Watch and rebuild on changes
OPENFRAME_VERSION=0.0.0-dev cargo watch -x build

Setting Up the Rust Agent Dev Config

The setup script moved to openframe-oss-lib with the agent sources; run it from a side-by-side checkout:

bash <openframe-oss-lib>/clients/openframe-client/scripts/setup_dev_init_config.sh

This script creates the necessary configuration files in the development directory layout used when OPENFRAME_DEV_MODE=1 is set.

Debug Configuration

Spring Boot — IntelliJ IDEA

1. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA
2. Navigate to the application entry point (e.g., ApiApplication.java)
3. Click the debug icon (🐛) next to main() or use Run → Debug
4. Set breakpoints as needed

Remote Debug (attach to running process):

# Start the service with JVM debug options
mvn spring-boot:run \
  -pl openframe/services/openframe-api \
  -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5005"

Then attach IntelliJ to port 5005 via Run → Attach to Process.

Rust — VS Code / RustRover

For openframe-client, use the CodeLLDB extension in VS Code:

.vscode/launch.json:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "lldb",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Debug openframe-client",
      "cargo": {
        "args": ["build", "--manifest-path", "clients/openframe-client/Cargo.toml"]
      },
      "args": ["run"],
      "env": {
        "OPENFRAME_DEV_MODE": "1"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Useful Local Development Tips

Watch Maven Build Output

# Build and tail output
mvn clean install -DskipTests 2>&1 | tee build.log

Clear Rust Build Cache

cd clients/openframe-client
cargo clean

Check Service Health

Each Spring Boot service exposes a Spring Actuator health endpoint:

# API service health check
curl http://localhost:8080/actuator/health

# Gateway health check
curl http://localhost:8081/actuator/health
