Contract - Testing


Table of contents


Requirements

  • The tests works on OS/X. Should work in Linux. May work in Windows with Cygwin
  • Geth/v1.8.6-stable-12683fec/darwin-amd64/go1.10 running with the Byzantium fork switched on
  • Solc 0.4.23+commit.124ca40d.Darwin.appleclang

Executing The Tests


Notes

  • The tests were conducted using bash shell scripts running Geth/v1.8.6-stable-12683fec/darwin-amd64/go1.10 JavaScript commands
  • The smart contracts were compiled using Solidity 0.4.23+commit.124ca40d.Darwin.appleclang
  • The test script can be found in 01_test1.sh
  • The test results can be found in test1results.txt with details in test1output.txt
  • The test can be run on OS/X, should run on Linux and may run on Windows with Cygwin
  • The genesis.json allocates ethers to the test accounts, and specifies a high block gas limit to accommodate many transactions in the same block
  • The 00_runGeth.sh scripts starts geth with the parameter --targetgaslimit 994712388 to keep the high block gas limit
  • The reasons for using the test environment as listed above, instead of truffles/testrpc are:
    • The test are conducted using the actual blockchain client software as is running on Mainnet and not just a mock environment like testrpc
    • It is easy to change parameters like dates, addresses or blocknumbers using the Unix search/replace tools
    • There have been issues in the part with version incompatibility between testrpc and solidity, i.e., version mismatches
    • The intermediate and key results are all saved to later viewing
