Clone this repo and navigate into the cloned folder. To run the tests locally, you will need Docker or Java installed. Using either method, the build will fail if there are failing tests.

To run the tests using Docker, run:

$ docker build . -t snowplow-java-tracker

To run the tests using your installed JDK, run:

$ ./gradlew build

We have also included a simple demo, found in the examples/simple-console folder. You will need a JDK installed to run it. When run, it sends several events to your event collector. For a simple event collector, we advise using the Snowplow Micro testing pipeline.

To run simple-console using the current Maven Central version of the Java tracker:

$ cd examples/simple-console
$ ./gradlew jar
$ java -jar ./build/libs/simple-console-all-0.0.1.jar "http://<your-collector-domain>"

To run simple-console using a local version of the Java tracker:

$ ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
$ cd examples/simple-console
$ ./gradlew jar
$ java -jar ./build/libs/simple-console-all-0.0.1.jar "http://<your-collector-domain>"
