BuildKite simply runs Docker containers. So it is easy to perform the same build locally that BuildKite will do. To handle this, there are two different docker-compose files: one for BuildKite and one for local. The Dockerfile is the same for both.

To run the build locally, start from the root folder of this repo and run the following command:

docker-compose -f docker/buildkite/docker-compose.yaml run unit-test

Note that BuildKite will run basically the same commands.

Creating a PR against the master branch will trigger the BuildKite build. Members of the Temporal team can view the build pipeline here: https://buildkite.com/temporal/java-samples
