Development

This document provides instructions for developing the Google Workspace extension.

Development Setup and Workflow

This section guides contributors on how to build, modify, and understand the development setup of this project.

Setting Up the Development Environment

Prerequisites:

  1. Node.js:
    • Development: Please use Node.js ~20.19.0. This specific version is required due to an upstream development dependency issue. You can use a tool like nvm to manage Node.js versions.
    • Production: For running the CLI in a production environment, any version of Node.js >=20 is acceptable.
  2. Git

Build Process

To clone the repository:

bash
git clone https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/workspace.git # Or your fork's URL
cd workspace

To install dependencies defined in package.json as well as root dependencies:

bash
npm install

To build the entire project (all packages):

bash
npm run build

This command typically compiles TypeScript to JavaScript, bundles assets, and prepares the packages for execution. Refer to scripts/build.js and package.json scripts for more details on what happens during the build.

Running Tests

This project contains unit tests.

Unit Tests

To execute the unit test suite for the project:

bash
npm run test

This will run tests located in the workspace-server/src/__tests__ directory. Ensure tests pass before submitting any changes. For a more comprehensive check, it is recommended to run npm run test && npm run lint.

To test a single file, you can pass its path from the project root as an argument. For example:

bash
npm run test -- workspace-server/src/__tests__/GmailService.test.ts

### Linting and Style Checks

To ensure code quality and formatting consistency, run the linter and tests:

```bash
npm run test && npm run lint

This command will run ESLint, Prettier, all tests, and other checks as defined in the project's package.json.

TIP

After cloning create a git pre-commit hook file to ensure your commits are always clean.

bash
cat <<'EOF' > .git/hooks/pre-commit
#!/bin/sh
# Run tests and linting before commit
if ! (npm run test && npm run lint); then
  echo "Pre-commit checks failed. Commit aborted."
  exit 1
fi
EOF
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit

Formatting

To separately format the code in this project by running the following command from the root directory:

bash
npm run format

This command uses Prettier to format the code according to the project's style guidelines.

Linting

To separately lint the code in this project, run the following command from the root directory:

bash
npm run lint

Testing with Gemini CLI

To test your code changes with Gemini CLI you can run:

bash
gemini extensions uninstall google-workspace
npm run build
gemini extensions link .
gemini extensions list
gemini --debug
# Prompt to test your feature/bug fix

Coding Conventions

  • Please adhere to the coding style, patterns, and conventions used throughout the existing codebase.
  • Consult GEMINI.md (typically found in the project root) for specific instructions related to AI-assisted development, including conventions for comments, and Git usage.
  • Imports: Pay special attention to import paths. The project uses ESLint to enforce restrictions on relative imports between packages.

Project Structure

  • workspace-server/: The main workspace for the MCP server.
    • src/: Contains the source code for the server.
      • __tests__/: Contains all the tests.
      • auth/: Handles authentication.
      • services/: Contains the business logic for each service.
      • utils/: Contains utility functions.
    • config/: Contains configuration files.
  • scripts/: Utility scripts for building, testing, and development tasks.

Authentication

The extension uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with Google Workspace APIs. The scripts/auth-utils.js script provides a command-line interface to manage authentication credentials.

Usage

To use the script, run the following command:

bash
node scripts/auth-utils.js <command>

Commands

  • clear: Clear all authentication credentials.
  • expire: Force the access token to expire (for testing refresh).
  • status: Show current authentication status.
  • help: Show the help message.
