## Building Logstash documentation
To build the Logstash Reference on your local machine, clone the following repos:
[logstash]https://github.com/elastic/logstash - contains main docs about core features
[logstash-docs]https://github.com/elastic/logstash-docs - contains generated plugin docs
[docs]https://github.com/elastic/docs - contains doc build files
Make sure you have the same branch checked out in `logstash` and `logstash-docs`.
Check out `master` in the `docs` repo.
Run the doc build script from within the `docs` repo. For example:
```
./build_docs.pl --doc ../logstash/docs/index.asciidoc --chunk=1 -open
```
To build the Logstash Reference with X-Pack content, see
the [x-pack-logstash readme]https://github.com/elastic/x-pack-logstash#building-documentation.
## Testing
Most of the unit tests in Logstash are written using [rspec](http://rspec.info/) for the Ruby parts. For the Java parts, we use junit. For testing you can use the *test* `rake` tasks and the `bin/rspec` command, see instructions below:
