# Develop Documentation

This page contains internal documentation for development.

## Code Signing

This repository follows the [codesiging.guide](https://codesigning.guide/) in combination with [fastlane match](https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/match/).
Therefore the sample apps use manual code signing, see [fastlane docs](https://docs.fastlane.tools/codesigning/xcode-project/):
> In most cases, fastlane will work out of the box with Xcode 9 and up if you selected manual code signing and choose a provisioning profile name for each of your targets.

Reach out to @philipphofmann if you need access to the match git repository.

## Unit Tests with Thread Sanitizer

CI runs the unit tests for one job with thread sanitizer enabled to detect race conditions.
The Test scheme of Sentry uses `TSAN_OPTIONS` to specify the [suppression file](../Tests/ThreadSanitizer.sup) to ignore false positives or known issues.
It's worth noting that you can use the `$(PROJECT_DIR)` to specify the path to the suppression file.
To run the unit tests with the thread sanitizer enabled in Xcode click on edit scheme, go to tests, then open diagnostics, and enable Thread Sanitizer.

## Auto UI Performance Class Overview

## Generating classes

You can use the `generate-classes.sh` to generate ViewControllers and other classes to emulate a large project. This is useful, for example, to test the performance of swizzling in a large project without having to check in thousands of lines of code.

## Generating Diagrams

The diagrams are created with [PlantUml](http://plantuml.com). The advantage of PlantUml
over other diagram tools is that you describe the diagrams with text, and you don't have
to worry about UML and layout, which can be time-consuming for changes. Furthermore, the
diagrams can be stored in git.

With [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and the
[PlantUml Plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jebbs.plantuml#user-content-use-plantuml-server-as-render)
you can create diagrams, view them and export them. If you don't want to use Visual Studio Code,
there are many [alternatives](http://plantuml.com/running).

For learning the syntax and quickly playing around you can check out [Plant Text](https://www.planttext.com/).

### Visual Studio Code Setup

Visual Studio Code needs a rendering engine for PlantUml. We recommend using the following Docker image:

```sh
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 plantuml/plantuml-server:jetty
```

To ensure the rendering server is running properly, visit with `localhost:8080`.

Finally, you have to configure the rendering server in Visual Studio Code. For this, open the settings of Visual Studio Code. Choose `Extensions > PlantUML configuration`. Click on `Edit in settings.json`. Then paste the following into the config:

```json
{
  "plantuml.server": "http://localhost:8080",
  "plantuml.render": "PlantUMLServer"
}
```

Save the settings and you should be able to render a diagram.

You can find the official guide here: [configure a rendering server](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jebbs.plantuml#user-content-use-plantuml-server-as-render).
