Buck2 Local Resources Skill

Overview

This skill guides you through creating Buck2 tests that depend on external processes or services. Buck2's local resources pattern manages broker processes automatically: starting them before tests, providing connection info via environment variables, and cleaning up afterward.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Creating integration tests that need databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, SQLite)
• Testing HTTP/REST APIs (need HTTP server running)
• Testing message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS)
• Testing Unix socket communication
• Testing service orchestration (multiple services interacting)
• Any test requiring external processes that Buck2 should manage
