## Overview



DSpace open source software is a turnkey repository application used by more than

2,000 organizations and institutions worldwide to provide durable access to digital resources.

For more information, visit http://www.dspace.org/



DSpace consists of both a Java-based backend and an Angular-based frontend.



* Backend (this codebase) provides a REST API, along with other machine-based interfaces (e.g. OAI-PMH, SWORD, etc)

    * The REST Contract is at https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract

* Frontend (https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/) is the User Interface built on the REST API



Prior versions of DSpace (v6.x and below) used two different UIs (XMLUI and JSPUI). Those UIs are no longer supported in v7 and above.

* A maintenance branch for older versions is still available, see `dspace-6_x` for 6.x maintenance.



## Downloads



* Backend (REST API): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases

* Frontend (User Interface): https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/releases



## Documentation / Installation



Documentation for each release may be viewed online or downloaded via our [Documentation Wiki](https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC/).



The latest DSpace Installation instructions are available at:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Installing+DSpace



Please be aware that, as a Java web application, DSpace requires a database (PostgreSQL)

and a servlet container (usually Tomcat) in order to function.

More information about these and all other prerequisites can be found in the Installation instructions above.



## Running DSpace 8 in Docker



NOTE: At this time, we do not have production-ready Docker images for DSpace.

That said, we do have quick-start Docker Compose scripts for development or testing purposes.



See [Running DSpace 8 with Docker Compose](dspace/src/main/docker-compose/README.md)

## Testing



### Running Tests



By default, in DSpace, Unit Tests and Integration Tests are disabled. However, they are

run automatically by [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild) for all Pull Requests and code commits.



* How to run both Unit Tests (via `maven-surefire-plugin`) and Integration Tests (via `maven-failsafe-plugin`):

  ```

  mvn install -DskipUnitTests=false -DskipIntegrationTests=false

  ```

* How to run _only_ Unit Tests:

  ```

  mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false

  ```

* How to run a *single* Unit Test

  ```

  # Run all tests in a specific test class

  # NOTE: failIfNoTests=false is required to skip tests in other modules

  mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false -Dtest=[full.package.testClassName] -DfailIfNoTests=false



  # Run one test method in a specific test class

  mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false -Dtest=[full.package.testClassName]#[testMethodName] -DfailIfNoTests=false

  ```

* How to run _only_ Integration Tests

  ```

  mvn install -DskipIntegrationTests=false

  ```

* How to run a *single* Integration Test

  ```

  # Run all integration tests in a specific test class

  # NOTE: failIfNoTests=false is required to skip tests in other modules

  mvn install -DskipIntegrationTests=false -Dit.test=[full.package.testClassName] -DfailIfNoTests=false



  # Run one test method in a specific test class

  mvn install -DskipIntegrationTests=false -Dit.test=[full.package.testClassName]#[testMethodName] -DfailIfNoTests=false

  ```

* How to run only tests of a specific DSpace module

  ```

  # Before you can run only one module's tests, other modules may need to be installed into your ~/.m2

  cd [dspace-src]

  mvn clean install



  # Then, move into a module subdirectory, and run the test command

  cd [dspace-src]/dspace-server-webapp

  # Choose your test command from the lists above

  ```
