Building the Buildpack

1. Make sure you have fetched submodules

git submodule update --init

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=cf.Gemfile bundle

1. Build the buildpack

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=cf.Gemfile bundle exec buildpack-packager [ --cached | --uncached ]

1. Use in Cloud Foundry

Upload the buildpack to your Cloud Foundry and optionally specify it by name

cf create-buildpack custom_node_buildpack node_buildpack-offline-custom.zip 1
cf push my_app -b custom_node_buildpack

Testing

Buildpacks use the Machete framework for running integration tests.

To test a buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=cf.Gemfile bundle exec buildpack-build

More options can be found on Machete's Github page.
