Make Commands

Use the following make commands in the root directory of the project

• make: The default target, which is also available via make help, lists the usage and available targets
• make clean: The clean target will delete the existing Docker image if it exists
• make build: The build target will create a new Docker image
• make run: The run target will start the application in a new container
• make debug: The debug target will start the application in a new container in debug mode

Using the App

Once the application is started, you can visit localhost:8080 to view the app

Debugging the App

To debug the application in Visual Studio Code:

• Open wiki.go
• Place a breakpoint (anywhere is fine, you just need one placed before you start)
• Start the application (you can use the make commands listed above)
• Create and start a launch configuration like the one below
• During debugging, do not disconnect or restart the debugger, otherwise you will need to restart the application to re-attach

Sample Launch Configuration

          "to": "/go/src/gowiki/"
        }
      ],
      "port": 4040,
