docs: should add instructions to run from source about gateway-conformance HOT 8 CLOSED

I was hoping to be able to execute gateway-conformance as a binary with something like go install github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance and then gateway-conformance

I believe that's where the docker image should be used instead. As a user, if I don't care about the test's internals, having a workflow with go install or docker might fill the same need. docs

find ./fixtures -name '*.ipns-record' -exec sh -c 'ipfs routing put --allow-offline /ipns/$(basename -s .ipns-record "{}") "{}"' ;
...
Error: failed to parse peer ID: invalid cid: invalid base36 character ('_')

That code is calling ipfs routing put --allow-offline /ipns/.... to provision your local instance. From what I can see in CI, it's supposed to work (Provision Gateway Step).

I can't dig into this at the moment, but an idea:
in the Makefile, add echo in front of the ipfs routing command and check which files are failing and try to run the command by hand. Maybe with verbose mode or debug. (I had success using export GOLOG_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG before). @hacdias worked on ipns records, he might have an idea as well.

It looks like we passed a string that is not a URL; the host and scheme are all messed up during parsing.
Could you try passing https://helia-http-gateway.localhost as your subdomain gateway URL? (we'll have to patch the test suite to panic when that happens).

TestCors doesn't rely on subdomain spec, so that checks out.

Thanks for going through & reporting all these quirks 🙏

Regarding go install: I think you have to install the command, not the package itself. Therefore:

go install github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/cmd/gateway-conformance@latest

That should work. As @laurentsenta pointed out, it's mostly used with the Docker image though.

go run github.com/SgtPooki/gateway-conformance@1f9d1f393d572b863de9b6303cd551573ac77a4c

@SgtPooki, thanks for opening this, could you try going through the local dev documentation and detail which parts are not working for you?

I don't understand the meaning of your last comment.

Regarding making the testing easier, the docker image might be a better place to start. It abstracts away all the implementation details for users who don't want to look into go-related details. docs

Will do.

I don't understand the meaning of your last comment.

@laurentsenta are you referring to:

Also of note.. you cannot go install this package, but it would make testing much easier..

I was hoping to be able to execute gateway-conformance as a binary with something like go install github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance and then gateway-conformance <subcmd>

And from running the tests in vscode (which is great btw, thanks for directing me to that setup):

go install github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/cmd/gateway-conformance@latest

This works, and then I can run with $HOME/go/bin/gateway-conformance test
