## Documentation
For general help about using Cyberduck, please refer to the [documentation](https://docs.cyberduck.io). The documentation is maintained in its own [repository](https://github.com/iterate-ch/docs).
## Additional Connection Profiles
Additional connection profiles not bundled by default but available in _Preferences → Profiles_ are maintained in its own [repository](https://github.com/iterate-ch/profiles).
## Snapshot and Beta builds
These are nightly snapshot builds from the current development trunk featuring the latest bug fixes and enhancements. Be
warned, though, these builds are potentially unstable and experimental. You can also switch to beta or snapshot builds
in _Preferences → Update_.
## Prerequisites
- Java 11 SDK or later
- Apache Ant 1.10.1 or later
- Apache Maven 3.5 or later
### macOS
- [Xcode 12](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/) or later
### Windows
#### Installation
**Manually**
- Visual Studio 2022, following workloads are required:
- `.NET desktop development`
- `Universal Windows Platform development`
- `Desktop development with C++`
- [Bonjour SDK for Windows](https://support.apple.com/kb/dl999)
- [Wix v3](https://wixtoolset.org/docs/wix3/) (Optional)
**Chocolatey**
_Without Visual Studio (IDE)_
```sh
choco install visualstudio2022buildtools -y
choco install visualstudio2022-workload-manageddesktopbuildtools -y
choco install visualstudio2022-workload-vctools -y
choco install visualstudio2022-workload-universalbuildtools -y
```
_With Visual Studio IDE_
```sh
choco install visualstudio2022(edition) -y
choco install visualstudio2022-workload-manageddesktop -y
choco install visualstudio2022-workload-nativedesktop -y
choco install visualstudio2022-workload-universal -y
```
Replace `(edition)` with your licensed IDE SKU: community, professional, enterprise
Install required dependencies, after installing Visual Studio IDE or build tools:
```sh
choco install microsoft-openjdk17 ant maven -y
choco install bonjour -y; choco install bonjour -y --force
```
Optional, see Remarks:
```sh
choco install wixtoolset -y
```
_Remarks_: Installing with Chocolatey may or may not fail spectacularly.
Following issues have been observed on a clean installation:
- Bonjour package fails with `file not found` - though the Bonjour64.msi is extracted from BonjourPSSetup.exe.
- wixtoolset depends on .NET 3.5-package, which never completes
On Windows 11 installation doesn't work
- `visualstudio*-workload-*` may halt with "Operation canceled",
Abort Chocolatey-command (Ctrl-C), then open up Visual Studio Installer and Resume installation there
Restart your machine after installing these components.
#### System Configuration
Make sure that `MSBuild`, `mvn`, `ant` and `java` are on your `PATH`-environment variable.
* Open `Developer Command Prompt for VS2022`, then run `where msbuild.exe`, add first directory name to path
* e.g. `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\amd64`
* Chocolatey may have added mvn and ant to your `PATH`-variable
* The Microsoft OpenJDK 17 installer automatically adds itself to the system `PATH`.
Additionally include the latest Windows Sdk-binary folder in your `PATH`-environment variable:
* `%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0..0\x64`
#### NuGet Configuration
To build on Windows, you need to configure NuGet with credentials to access GitHub Package Registry sources. Create a GitHub [personal access token (classic)](https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-nuget-registry) with at least `read:packages` permissions.
Then, in the Cyberduck repository root directory, run the following commands in Terminal (PowerShell or Command Prompt):
```sh
dotnet nuget update source gh-ikvmnet -u "YourUsername" -p "YourPAT"
dotnet nuget update source gh-iterate-ch -u "YourUsername" -p "YourPAT"
```
Replace `YourUsername` with your GitHub username and `YourPAT` with your personal access token.
## Building
Run `mvn verify -DskipTests -DskipSign` to build without running any tests and skip codesign. Find build artifacts in
* `osx/target/Cyberduck.app`
* `windows/target/Cyberduck.exe`
Run with `-Pinstaller` to build installer packages with build artifacts
* `osx/target/release/*.(zip|pkg)`
* `windows/target/release/*.(exe|msi)`
* `cli/osx/target/release/*.(pkg|tar.gz)`
* `cli/windows/target/release/*.(exe|msi)`
* `cli/linux/target/release/*.(deb|rpm)`
### macOS
Active the sandboxing profile with `-Psandbox` to apply sandbox entitlements `com.apple.security.app-sandbox`.
### Windows
You will run into warnings from `MSBuild`/`WiX` that are unrelated to how Cyberduck is built. You may safely ignore them.
## Debugging
### macOS
Build with `-Pdebug` to allow attaching the remote debugger on port `5005`.
### Windows
Due to Visual Studio not being able to handle Java projects it is required to follow these steps for debugging:
- Run `mvn verify -Dconfiguration=debug` which ensures that debugging symbols are generated
This prevents Visual Studio (or `MSBuild invoked from Maven`) from generating optimized assemblies which in turn may
prevent debugging.
- Open the solution in Visual Studio
- Open a `.java` file and set a breakpoint. Visual Studio breaks either on or near the line selected.
- Debugging capabilities include
- Step Over
- Step Into
- Step Out
- Continue
- Local/Auto variables
- Immediate Window
Go To Symbol is not working due to missing Java support.
## Running Tests
After packaging, run `mvn test -DskipITs` to run unit tests but skip integration tests.
### Maven Artifacts (GPL)
#### Repository Configuration
Maven artifacts are available in a repository hosted on Amazon S3.
- Use the following Maven configuration in your project POM to reference artifacts from Cyberduck
```xml
maven.cyberduck.io-release
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/repo.maven.cyberduck.io/releases
default
true
false
```
