Use Case

As a driver engineer,
I want a to automate linking and building the libmongocrypt node c++ bindings with the driver,
So that development of FLE is simpler.

User Impact

n/a.  internal tooling change.

Dependencies

• none.

Unknowns

• none.

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• add a script into etc/tooling that does the following
  • (optional, configured by some sort of flag) builds libmongocrypt statically to link against
  • builds mongodb-client-encryption bindings
  • (optional, configured by some sort of flag) uses `npm link` (or a symlink in the package.json) to link the driver to the libmongocrypt Node bindings locally
    • This step should be optional because a common workflow would be 1) build libmongocrypt 2) build and link bindings to driver 3) make changes to bindings 4) rebuild bindings and run driver's tests. steps 3 & 4 would be repeated during development.
• add a script that unlinks mongodb-client-encryption from the driver locally

Testing Requirements

• Manually verify that the script works.

Documentation Requirements

• add a section in the Node driver testing readme explaining how to use the new tooling.

Follow Up Requirements

• none
