Compiling

Installation

Instructions regarding the MAL compiler and the MAL project structure can be found in the exampleLang README.

Compilation primer

For detailed instructions, see building exampleLang and running unit tests (exampleLang).

For instructions regarding how to write tests, see Instantiating Language Models.

Compile and run unit tests

mvn test

Generates .java files from the MAL specifications and outputs them into <project>/target/generated-test-sources. Also compiles the language source files together with any unit test code found. Finally runs the unit tests.

Compile and run a specific test file

mvn test -Dtest=TestMyLanguage

Same as mvn test except only the test cases defined in TestMyLanguage.java are run.

Compile and run a specific test case

mvn test -Dtest=TestMyLanguage#myTestCase

Same as mvn test except only the test case myTestCase defined in TestMyLanguage.java is run.

Build for securiCAD

mvn clean package -PsecuriCAD

The result will be a .jar file found in <project>/target. To skip running tests, add -Dmaven.test.skip=true.

Building a securiCAD package requires access to foreseeti's Maven repository. Contact support@foreseeti.com to request access.

Generate Java source

mvn generate-test-sources

This solely compiles MAL specifications into .java source code files. The files are found under <project>/target/generated-test-sources.

Generate and compile Java source

mvn test-compile

This compiles MAL specifications into .java source code files. Also compiles those into .class files together with any unit test files found. The Java source files are found under <project>/target/generated-test-sources and the class files under <project>/target/test-classes. No tests are run with this command.
