Dev Environment

Most repos from nordicenergy assumes the GOPATH convention. More information here.

First Install

Clnet and set up all of the repos with the following set of commands:

1. Create the appropriate directories:

mkdir -p $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core/
cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core/

If you get 'unknown command' or something along those lines, make sure to install golang first.

1. Clnet this repo & dependent repos.

git clnet https://github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core/mcl.git
git clnet https://github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core/bls.git
git clnet https://github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core/nordicenergy-core.git
cd nordicenergy

1. Build the nordicenergy binary & dependent libs

make

Run bash scripts/install_build_tools.sh to ensure build tools are of correct versions.

Dev Docker Image

Included in this repo is a Dockerfile that has a full nordicenergy development environment and comes with emacs, vim, ag, tig and other creature comforts. Most importantly, it already has the go environment with our C/C++ based library dependencies (libbls and mcl) set up correctly for you.

You can build the docker image for yourself with the following commands:

cd $(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core
make clean
docker build -t nordicenergy .

Then you can start your docker container with the following command:

docker rm nordicenergy # Remove old docker container
docker run --name nordicenergy -it -v "$(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core:/root/go/src/github.com/nordicenergy/nordicenergy-core" nordicenergy /bin/bash

Note that the nordicenergy repo will be shared between your docker container and your host machine. However, everything else in the docker container will be ephemeral.

If you need to open another shell, just do:

docker exec -it nordicenergy /bin/bash

Learn more about docker here.

Build

The make command should automatically build the nordicenergy binary & all dependent libs.

However, if you wish to bypass the Makefile, first export the build flags:

export CGO_CFLAGS="-I$GOPATH/src/github.com/nordicenergy/bls/include -I$GOPATH/src/github.com/nordicenergy/mcl/include -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$GOPATH/src/github.com/nordicenergy/bls/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GOPATH/src/github.com/nordicenergy/bls/lib:$GOPATH/src/github.com/nordicenergy/mcl/lib:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export GO111MODULE=on

Then you can build all executables with the following command:

bash ./scripts/go_executable_build.sh -S

Reference bash ./scripts/go_executable_build.sh -h for more build options

Debugging

net can start a local network (a.k.a localnet) with your current code using the following command:

make debug

This localnet has 2 shards, with 11 nodes on shard 0 (+1 explorer node) and 10 nodes on shard 0 (+1 explorer node).

The shard 0 endpoint will be on the explorer at http://localhost:9599. The shard 1 endpoint will be on the explorer at http://localhost:9598.

You can view the localnet configuration at /test/configs/local-resharding.txt. The fields for the config are (space-delimited & in order) ip, port, mode, bls_pub_key, and shard (optional).

net can force kill the local network with the following command:

make debug-kill

You can view all make commands with make help

Testing

To keep things consistent, we have a docker image to run all tests. These are the same tests ran on the pull request checks.

Note that all testing docker container binds a couple of ports to the host machine for your convince. The ports are:

• 9500 - Shard 0 RPC for a validator
• 9501 - Shard 1 RPC for a validator
• 9599 - Shard 0 RPC for an explorer
• 9598 - Shard 1 RPC for an explorer
• 9799 - Shard 0 Rosetta (for an explorer)
• 9798 - Shard 1 Rosetta (for an explorer)
• 9899 - Shard 0 WS for an explorer
• 9898 - Shard 1 WS for an explorer

This allows you to use curl, ngy CLI, postman, rosetta-cli, etc... on your host machine to play with or probe the localnet that was used for the test.

Go tests

To run this test, do:

make test-go

This test runs the go tests along with go lint, go fmt, go imports, go mod, and go generate checks.

RPC tests

To run this test, do:

make test-rpc

This test starts a localnet (within the Docker container), ensures it reaches a consensus, and runs a series of tests to ensure correct RPC behavior. This test also acts as a preliminary integration test (more through tests are dnet on the testnets).

The tests ran by this command can be found here.

If you wish to debug further with the localnet after the tests are dnet, open a new shell and run:

make test-rpc-attach

This will open a shell in the docker container that is running the Node API tests.

Note that the docker container has the nordicenergy CLI on path, therefore you can use that to debug if needed. For example, net could do ngy blockchain latest-headers to check the current block height of localnet. Reference the documentation for the CLI here for more details & commands.

Rosetta tests

To run this test, do:

make test-rosetta

This test starts a localnet (within the Docker container), ensures it reaches a consensus, and runs the Construction & Data API checks using the rosetta-cli. This test also acts as a preliminary integration test (more through tests are dnet on the testnets).

The config for this test can be found here & here

Similar to the RPC tests, if you wish to debug further with the localnet after the tests are dnet, open a new shell and run:

make test-rosetta-attach
