Validate your plugin compatibility

The krakend check-plugin command helps you validate the compatibility of your custom plugins that will run in conjunction with KrakenD.

The command compares your plugin’s go.sum file with the libraries initially used to compile the running binary. If there are any incompatibilities between your plugin and KrakenD, it will show a detailed list.

If you integrate this command as part of your CI/CD pipeline, it will exit with a status code 0 when the libraries of your plugin are compatible with KrakenD and with a status code 1 when they are not.

Notice that the check-plugin command does not check the plugin’s validity itself nor need its source code other than the go.sum file.

To get started writing your plugins see:

The krakend check-plugin command accepts the following options:

Version: 2.3

Validates that the active configuration file has a valid syntax to run the service.
Change the configuration file by using the --config flag

Usage:
  krakend check-plugin [flags]

Examples:
krakend check-plugin -g 1.17.0 -s ./go.sum

Flags:
  -f, --format        Dump the commands to update
  -g, --go string     The version of the go compiler used for your plugin (default "1.17.11")
  -h, --help          help for check-plugin
  -l, --libc string   Version of the libc library used
  -s, --sum string    Path to the go.sum file to analize (default "./go.sum")

Flags

Use krakend check-plugin in combination with the following flags:

  • -f or --format to let KrakenD suggest you about the go get commands you should launch.
  • -s or --sum to specify the path to the go.sum file of your plugin.
  • -g or --go to specify the Go version you are using to compile the plugin.
  • -l or --libc to specify the libc version installed in the system. The libc version must have the preffix MUSL-, GLIBC-, DARWIN-. For instance, a plugin in Mac Monterrey might use DARWIN-12.2.1, an Alpine container will need something like MUSL-1.2.2, and a Linux box will have GLIBC-2.32. To know your glibc version execute the Find GLIBC script

Updating plugin dependencies

A quick attempt to fix your dependencies is to run the command with the -f flag, which will suggest a series of go get commands that you can execute to solve the incompatibilities. For instance:

Fixing dependencies 

$krakend check-plugin -s ~/Downloads/go.sum -f
12 incompatibility(ies) found...
go get cloud.google.com/go/[email protected]
go get github.com/census-instrumentation/[email protected]
go get github.com/google/[email protected]+incompatible
go get github.com/googleapis/gax-go/[email protected]
go get github.com/hashicorp/[email protected]
go get golang.org/x/[email protected]
go get golang.org/x/[email protected]
go get golang.org/x/[email protected]
go get golang.org/x/[email protected]
go get google.golang.org/[email protected]
go get google.golang.org/[email protected]
go get google.golang.org/[email protected]

Copy and paste the go get commands in your terminal to update the dependencies. The commands are in alphabetical order.

You might need to use the -f several times and use go mod tidy as well.
