README

Antithesis Testing

This package supports testing with Antithesis, a SaaS offering that enables deployment of distributed systems (such as Avalanche) to a deterministic and simulated environment that enables discovery and reproduction of anomalous behavior.

Package details

Filename Purpose
compose.go Generates Docker Compose project file and initial database for antithesis testing.
config.go Defines common flags for the workload binary.
init_db.go Initializes initial db state for subnet testing.
node_health.go Helper to check node health.
avalanchego/ Defines an antithesis test setup for avalanchego's primary chains.
xsvm/ Defines an antithesis test setup for the xsvm VM.

Instrumentation

Software running in Antithesis's environment must be instrumented to take full advantage of the supported traceability. Since the Antithesis Go SDK only supports the amd64/x86_64 architecture as of this writing, running of instrumented binaries on Macs (arm64) is not possible without emulation (which would be very slow). To support test development on Macs, a local build will not be instrumented.

Defining a new test setup

When defining a new test setup - whether in the avalanchego repo or for a VM in another repo - following the example of an existing test setup is suggested. The following table enumerates the files defining a test setup:

Filename Purpose
scripts/build_antithesis_images.sh Builds the test images to deploy to antithesis
scripts/build_antithesis_[test setup]_workload.sh Builds the workload binary
scripts/tests.build_antithesis_images.sh Validates the build of the test images
tests/antithesis/[test setup]/main.go The entrypoint for the workload binary
tests/antithesis/[test setup]/Dockerfile.config Defines how to build the config image
tests/antithesis/[test setup]/Dockerfile.node Defines how to build the instrumented node image
tests/antithesis/[test setup]/Dockerfile.workload Defines how to build the workload image
tests/antithesis/[test setup]/gencomposeconfig/main.go Generates the compose configuration for the test setup

In addition, github workflows are suggested to ensure scripts/tests.build_antithesis_images.sh runs against PRs and scripts/build_antithesis_images.sh runs against pushes.

Troubleshooting a test setup

Running a workload directly

The workload of the 'avalanchego' test setup can be invoked against an arbitrary network:

$ AVAWL_URIS="http://10.0.20.3:9650 http://10.0.20.4:9650" go run ./tests/antithesis/avalanchego

The workload of a subnet test setup like 'xsvm' additionally requires a network with a configured chain for the xsvm VM and the ID for that chain needs to be provided to the workload:

$ AVAWL_URIS=... CHAIN_IDS="2S9ypz...AzMj9" go run ./tests/antithesis/xsvm
Running a workload with docker-compose

Running the test script for a given test setup with the DEBUG flag set will avoid cleaning up the the temporary directory where the docker-compose setup is written to. This will allow manual invocation of docker-compose to see the log output of the workload.

$ DEBUG=1 ./scripts/tests.build_antithesis_images.sh

After the test script has terminated, the name of the temporary directory will appear in the output of the script:

...
using temporary directory /tmp/tmp.E6eHdDr4ln as the docker-compose path"
...

Running compose from the temporary directory will ensure the workload output appears on stdout for inspection:

$ cd [temporary directory]

# Start the compose project
$ docker-compose up

# Cleanup the compose project
$ docker-compose down --volumes

Functions

func AwaitHealthyNodes

func AwaitHealthyNodes(ctx context.Context, uris []string) error

Waits for the nodes at the provided URIs to report healthy.

func GenerateComposeConfig

func GenerateComposeConfig(
	network *tmpnet.Network,
	nodeImageName string,
	workloadImageName string,
	targetPath string,
) error

Initialize the given path with the docker-compose configuration (compose file and volumes) needed for an Antithesis test setup.

func GetBootstrapVolumePath

func GetBootstrapVolumePath(targetPath string) (string, error)

Given a path, compose the expected path of the bootstrap node's docker compose db volume.

func InitBootstrapDB

func InitBootstrapDB(network *tmpnet.Network, avalancheGoPath string, pluginDir string, destPath string) error

Bootstraps a local process-based network, creates its subnets and chains, and copies the resulting db state from one of the nodes to the provided path. The path will be created if it does not already exist.

Types

type Config struct {
	URIs     []string
	ChainIDs []string
