Development

Development environment

On all platforms, the minimum requirements are:

Windows

  • Visual Studio 2022 (17.1) or higher
    • Workloads with the following components:
      • ASP.NET and web development
      • .NET desktop development
      • Desktop development with C++
    • Individual components:
      • MSVC v142 - Visual Studio 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (version 14.29)
  • Docker for Windows

Microsoft provides evaluation developer VMs with Windows and Visual Studio preinstalled.

Linux and macOS

When using C# for Visual Studio Code, follow these steps to set omnisharp.useGlobalMono to never:

  1. Go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Extensions -> C# Configuration.
  2. Change Omnisharp: Use Global Mono to never.
  3. Restart OmniSharp by pressing F1 and selecting OmniSharp: Restart OmniSharp.

If you get errors due to projects targeting .NET Framework, use OmniSharp: Select Project in Visual Studio Code to load a subset of projects which work without any issues. You can also try building the projects which throw errors.

Build

This repository uses Nuke for build automation.

Support plugins are available for:

Restore dotnet tools to prepare build tools for solution. This installs the dotnet nuke tool locally.

dotnet tool restore

To see a list of possible targets and configurations run:

dotnet nuke --help

To build, run:

dotnet nuke

The main build artifacts are in bin/tracer-home.

Clean your repository by running:

git clean -fXd

Documentation lint

If you made changes to the Markdown documents (*.md files), ensure that lint tool and spellcheck passed without any issues by executing:

nuke InstallDocumentationTools ValidateDocumentation

Some issues can be automatically fixed by:

nuke MarkdownLintFix

All MarkdownLint tasks require Node.js installed locally.

Manual testing

Test environment

The dev/docker-compose.yaml contains configuration for running the OpenTelemetry Collector and Jaeger.

You can run the services using:

docker-compose -f dev/docker-compose.yaml up

The following Web UI endpoints are exposed:

Instrument an application

Warning: Make sure to build and prepare the test environment beforehand.

dev/instrument.sh helps to run a command with automatic instrumentation in your shell, such as bash, zsh, or git bash.

For example:

./dev/instrument.sh OTEL_DOTNET_AUTO_TRACES_ENABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=HttpClient dotnet run -f netcoreapp3.1 --project ./examples/ConsoleApp/Examples.ConsoleApp.csproj

You can use dev/envvars.sh to export profiler environmental variables to your current shell session.

You must run dev/envvars.sh from the root of this repository. For example:

source ./dev/envvars.sh
export OTEL_DOTNET_AUTO_TRACES_ENABLED_INSTRUMENTATIONS=HttpClient
 ./examples/ConsoleApp/bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/Examples.ConsoleApp

Running the examples

You can use the example applications to see the local changes in action. See examples/README.md for instructions on how to run the examples.

Release process

The release process is described in releasing.md.

Integration tests

Apart from regular unit tests this repository contains integration tests under test/IntegrationTests as they give the biggest confidence if the auto-instrumentation works properly.

Each test class has its related test application that can be found under test/test-applications/integrations Each library instrumentation has its own test class. Other features are tested via SmokeTests class or have its own test class if a dedicated test application is needed.

Currently, the strategy is to test the library instrumentations against its lowest supported version. The pull requests created by @dependabot with do NOT merge label are used to test against higher library versions when they are released.

Debug the .NET runtime on Linux

  • Requirements

  • Building .NET Runtime

    ./build.sh clr+libs
    
  • Using corerun

    PATH="$PATH:$PWD/artifacts/bin/coreclr/Linux.x64.Debug/corerun"
    export CORE_LIBRARIES="$PWD/artifacts/bin/runtime/net6.0-Linux-Debug-x64"
    corerun ~/repos/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation/examples/ConsoleApp/bin/Debug/net6.0/Examples.ConsoleApp.dll
    
  • Debugging

    The following example shows how you can debug if the profiler is attached:

    ~/repos/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation$ source dev/envvars.sh 
    ~/repos/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation$ cd ../runtime/
    ~/repos/runtime$ lldb -- ./artifacts/bin/coreclr/Linux.x64.Debug/corerun ~/repos/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation/examples/ConsoleApp/bin/Debug/net6.0/Examples.ConsoleApp.dll
    (lldb) target create "./artifacts/bin/coreclr/Linux.x64.Debug/corerun"
    Current executable set to '/home/user/repos/runtime/artifacts/bin/coreclr/Linux.x64.Debug/corerun' (x86_64).
    (lldb) settings set -- target.run-args  "/home/user/repos/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation/examples/ConsoleApp/bin/Debug/net6.0/Examples.ConsoleApp.dll"

    You might need to add a dlerror() call in order to get the error message. For example:

    Process 20148 stopped
    * thread #1, name = 'corerun', stop reason = instruction step over
        frame #0: 0x00007ffff76166f8 libcoreclr.so`LOADLoadLibraryDirect(libraryNameOrPath="/home/user/repos/opentelemetry-dotnet-instrumentation/bin/tracer-home/OpenTelemetry.AutoInstrumentation.Native.so") at module.cpp:1477:9

      1475     {
      1476         LPCSTR err_msg = dlerror();
    -> 1477         TRACE("dlopen() failed %s\n", err_msg);
      1478         SetLastError(ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND);
      1479     }
      1480     else
