hurl/contrib/windows

What ?

This document describes the steps to build the windows 64bits hurl binary with powershell.exe.

All command have been launched with admin privileges on c:\ root dir and executed sequentially. (If you don't want to use c:\ as installation path and git clone path, please replace all its references before executing commands )

All the steps have been tested on a blank Windows 10 64bits and total operation time is about 30 minutes with a xdsl connection (5mb/sec).

You just have to follow each chapter sequentially until you get a windows installer allowing the native installation of hurl on your favorite windows 64bits computer.

Clone hurl project

cd c:\

git.exe clone https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl

Build win64 exe binary

cd c:\hurl
cargo build --release --verbose

Test your app

install proxy and server

pip3 install mitmproxy flask

Keep original powershell prompt on background, and open one more separate powershell prompt to launch the server

cd c:\hurl\integration
python server.py

Keep original powershell prompt on background, and open one more separate powershell prompt to launch the ssl server

cd c:\hurl\integration
python ssl/server.py

Keep original powershell prompt on background, and open one more separate powershell prompt to launch the proxy

mitmdump --listen-port 8888 --modify-header "/From-Proxy/Hello"

focus on original powershell prompt and launch hurl unit tests

cd c:\hurl\integration
cargo test --features strict --tests

launch hurl integration tests

cd c:\hurl\integration
./integration.py

Generate version.txt file

((c:\hurl\target\win-package\hurl.exe --version) -Split " ")[1] > c:\hurl\target\win-package\version.txt

Create a simple zip package

$hurl_package_version = Get-Content c:\hurl\target\win-package\version.txt
cd c:\hurl\target\win-package
Get-ChildItem -Path *.dll, *hurl.exe, *hurlfmt.exe, *.txt, ../../*.md  -Exclude hex_literal* | Compress-Archive -DestinationPath hurl-${hurl_package_version}-win64.zip

Create a package installer for win64

cd c:\hurl
Get-Command Expand-Archive
Expand-Archive -Path '.\bin\windows\EnVar_plugin.zip' -DestinationPath 'C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS' -Verbose
cd c:\hurl\target\win-package
$oldpath = Get-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Environment -Name Path
$newpath = $oldpath.Path += ";C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Bin"
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Environment -Name Path -Value $newpath
$env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")
