# Contributing to `package:vm_service` and `package:vm_service_interface`
## Updating the VM service version
To update `package:vm_service` and `package:vm_service_interface` to support the latest version of the [VM service protocol](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/main/runtime/vm/service/service.md), run the following script to regenerate the client and interface:
`dart tool/generate.dart`
## Updating the code generator
Both `package:vm_service` and `package:vm_service_interface` make use of code generation to generate much of their implementations. As a result, manual changes made to some files (e.g., `package:vm_service/src/vm_service.dart` and `package:vm_service_interface/src/vm_service_interface.dart`) will be overwritten by the code generator.
To make changes to the generated files, make changes in one or more of the following files:
- `tool/dart/generate_dart_client.dart` for code specific to `package:vm_service`
- `tool/dart/generate_dart_interface.dart` for code specific to `package:vm_service_interface`
- `tool/dart/generate_dart_common.dart` for code common to `package:vm_service` and `package:vm_service_interface`
## Running tests locally
### 1. Build the SDK
From the root of the Dart SDK, run the following commands:
gclient sync -D && \
python3 tools/build.py -ax64 create_sdk
Note: for a release build, add the `-mrelease` flag: `./tools/build.py -mrelease -ax64 create_sdk`
### 2. Run the tests
To run all the tests: `python3 tools/test.py [ -mdebug | -mrelease ] -ax64 -j4 pkg/vm_service`
To run a single test: `dart pkg/vm_service/test/<test_name>.dart`
