Kantra

Kantra is a CLI that unifies analysis and transformation capabilities of Konveyor. It is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Table of Contents

Prerequisites

Podman 4+ is required to run kantra. By default, it is configured to use the podman executable available on the host.

Although kantra is primarily tested with podman, Docker Engine 24+ or Docker Desktop 4+ can be used as an alternative. To use docker, set the environment variable CONTAINER_TOOL pointing to the docker executable's path:

export CONTAINER_TOOL=/usr/bin/docker

Installation

To install kantra, download the executable for your platform and add it to the path.

Note: For Mac you might get a "Apple could not verify" error message. If you do you can run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine kantra to have Apple trust the kantra binary.

Downloading stable release

Go to the release page and download the zip file containing a binary for your platform and architecture. Unzip the archive and add the executable in it to the path.

Downloading the latest / particular version

The easiest way to get the latest (or a particular/older) executable is to get it from the respective container image.

Set the shell variable kantra_version to a particular version if you want to grab that version, e.g., kantra_version=v0.4.0.

Linux

Run:

${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} cp $(${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} create --name kantra-download quay.io/konveyor/kantra:${kantra_version:-latest}):/usr/local/bin/kantra . && ${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} rm kantra-download

Mac

When you are not using Docker for Desktop on your Mac (see above), you need to start a podman machine prior to running any podman commands (see Setup for Mac)

Once a machine is started, run:

${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} cp $(${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} create --name kantra-download quay.io/konveyor/kantra:${kantra_version:-latest}):/usr/local/bin/darwin-kantra . && ${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} rm kantra-download

Windows

When you are not using Docker for Desktop on your Windows (see above), you need to start a podman machine prior to running any podman commands (see Setup for Windows)

Once a machine is started, run:

${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} cp $(${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} create --name kantra-download quay.io/konveyor/kantra:${kantra_version:-latest}):/usr/local/bin/windows-kantra . && ${CONTAINER_TOOL:-podman} rm kantra-download

Ensure that you add the executable to the PATH.

Setup (For Mac and Windows Only)

On Mac and Windows, a podman machine needs to be started prior to running any commands, unless you are using Docker (for Desktop):

Mac

Prior to starting your podman machine, run:

ulimit -n unlimited

Init your podman machine :

  • Podman 4:

    Podman 4 requires some host directories to be mounted within the VM:

    podman machine init <vm_name> -v $HOME:$HOME -v /private/tmp:/private/tmp -v /var/folders/:/var/folders/
  • Podman 5:

    Podman 5 mounts $HOME, /private/tmp and /var/folders directories by default, simply init the machine:

    podman machine init <vm_name>

If the input and/or output directories you intend to use with kantra fall outside the tree of $HOME, /private/tmp and /var/folders directories, you should mount those directories in addition to the default.

Increase podman resources (minimum 4G memory is required):

podman machine set <vm_name> --cpus 4 --memory 4096
Windows

Init the machine:

podman machine init <vm_name>

Usage

Kantra has three subcommands:

  1. analyze: This subcommand allows running source code analysis on input source code or a binary.

  2. transform: This subcommand allows either converting XML rules to YAML or running OpenRewrite recipes on source code.

  3. test: This subcommand allows testing YAML rules.

Analyze

analyze subcommand allows running source code and binary analysis using analyzer-lsp

To run analysis on application source code, run:

kantra analyze --input=<path/to/source/code> --output=<path/to/output/dir>

--input must point to a source code directory or a binary file, --output must point to a directory to contain analysis results.

All flags:

Flags:
      --analyze-known-libraries          analyze known open-source libraries
      --bulk                             running multiple analyze commands in bulk will result to combined static report
      --context-lines int                number of lines of source code to include in the output for each incident (default 100)
  -d, --dependency-folders stringArray   directory for dependencies
      --enable-default-rulesets          run default rulesets with analysis (default true)
  -h, --help                             help for analyze
      --http-proxy string                HTTP proxy string URL
      --https-proxy string               HTTPS proxy string URL
      --incident-selector string         an expression to select incidents based on custom variables. ex: (!package=io.konveyor.demo.config-utils)

      --list-sources                     list rules for available migration sources
      --list-targets                     list rules for available migration targets
      --maven-settings string            path to a custom maven settings file to use
  -m, --mode string                      analysis mode. Must be one of 'full' or 'source-only' (default "full")
      --no-proxy string                  proxy excluded URLs (relevant only with proxy)

      --overwrite                        overwrite output directory
      --rules stringArray                filename or directory containing rule files. Use multiple times for additional rules: --rules <rule1> --rules <rule2> ...
      --skip-static-report               do not generate static report
  -s, --source stringArray               source technology to consider for analysis. Use multiple times for additional sources: --source <source1> --source <source2> ...
  -t, --target stringArray               target technology to consider for analysis. Use multiple times for additional targets: --target <target1> --target <target2> ...

Analyze multiple applications

By design, kantra supports single application analysis per kantra command execution. However, it is possible use --bulk option for executing multiple kantra analyze commands with different applications to get an output directory and static-report populated with all applications analysis reports.

Example:

kantra analyze --bulk --input=<path/to/source/A> --output=<path/to/output/ABC>
kantra analyze --bulk --input=<path/to/source/B> --output=<path/to/output/ABC>
kantra analyze --bulk --input=<path/to/source/C> --output=<path/to/output/ABC>

Transform

Transform has two subcommands:

  1. openrewrite: This subcommand allows running one or more available OpenRewrite recipes on input source code.

  2. rules: This subcommand allows converting Windup XML rules into the analyzer-lsp YAML format.

OpenRewrite

openrewrite subcommand allows running OpenRewrite recipes on source code.

To transform applications using OpenRewrite, run:

kantra transform openrewrite --input=<path/to/source/code> --target=<exactly_one_target_from_the_list>

The value of --target option must be one of the available OpenRewrite recipes. To list all available recipes, run:

kantra transform --list-targets

All flags:

Flags:
  -g, --goal string             target goal (default "dryRun")
  -h, --help                    help for openrewrite
  -i, --input string            path to application source code directory
  -l, --list-targets            list all available OpenRewrite recipes
  -s, --maven-settings string   path to a custom maven settings file to use
  -t, --target string           target openrewrite recipe to use. Run --list-targets to get a list of packaged recipes.

Rules

rules subcommand allows converting Windup XML rules to analyzer-lsp YAML rules using windup-shim

To convert Windup XML rules to the analyzer-lsp YAML format, run:

kantra transform rules --input=<path/to/xmlrules> --output=<path/to/output/dir>

--input flag should point to a file or a directory containing XML rules, --output should point to an output directory for YAML rules.

All flags:

Flags:
  -h, --help                help for rules
  -i, --input stringArray   path to XML rule file(s) or directory
  -o, --output string       path to output directory

Test

test subcommand allows running tests on YAML rules written for analyzer-lsp.

The input to test runner will be one or more test files and / or directories containing tests written in YAML.

kantra test /path/to/a/single/tests/file.test.yaml

The output of tests is printed on the console.

See different ways to run the test command in the test runner doc
