Dagger Codegen
When to Load This Skill
- Editing
dagger.gen.goorinternal/dagger/dagger.gen.gooutput - Modifying Go templates in
cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/ - Changing SDK interfaces in
core/sdk.go - Working on
dagger develop,dagger call, ordagger client install - Debugging why generated code looks wrong
Critical Concepts
"Codegen" means 4 different things in Dagger:
| # | Name | Trigger | Key Files |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | In-Module Bindings | dagger develop |
cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/ |
| 2 | Runtime Dispatch | Module startup | cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/modules.go:140 |
| 3 | SDK Libraries | go generate |
sdk/go/generate.go |
| 4 | Generated Clients | dagger client install |
_dagger.gen.go/client.go.tmpl |
Know which one you're dealing with before editing.
Key Entry Points
| To change... | Edit |
|---|---|
| Generated method signatures | cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/src/_types/object.go.tmpl |
| Generated type definitions | cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/src/_types/*.go.tmpl |
Module invoke() dispatch |
cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/modules.go:140 |
Standalone client Connect() |
cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/src/_dagger.gen.go/client.go.tmpl |
| Template functions | cmd/codegen/generator/go/templates/functions.go:54 |
| SDK interfaces | core/sdk.go:20 (ClientGenerator), :93 (CodeGenerator) |
| Built-in SDK list | core/sdk/consts.go |
| Python output | sdk/python/codegen/src/codegen/generator.py |
