End to end tests for Acala and Karura.

Tests are powered by Chopsticks to always run with latest mainnet block.

All tests: yarn test

Run one test only: yarn test ./tests/xcm-transfer/kusama-relay.test.ts

Or you can just use a keywork since it is using vitest and use regex to find tests: yarn test xcm

If you don't expect breaking change, simply add {NETWORK}_WASM=wasm/runtime/path to .env file to override the runtime and run the tests.

If there are expected breaking change, you can add a new network with the new runtime and add new tests using the new network. Check other tests as a reference.

This repo is using vitest as the test runner. Most of the tests are written as snapshot tests. The test will run and save the result as snapshot in a .snap file, and next time when the test runs again, it will compare the result with the snapshot. This eliminates the need to write assertions and make the test more readable.

There is periodic check Github Action to run the tests against latest mainnet block to detect compatibility issues with live networks.

It is recommended use yarn update-env to update the .env file with latest block number before running the tests. This ensures tests are always running against the same blocks so that block data can be cached and reused to speed up test running time. Once you have a working test, update the blocks number again and rerun the tests to ensure the tests are block number indpendent. Use redact and event filters to make the snapshot be consistent regardless the block number.

• networks - network configs
• tests - tests
• wasm - wasm runtime files to test compatibility with upcoming versions

• Move the failed test to playground.test.ts to only run the failed test.
• Add --update-snapshots to automatically update snapshots and use git diff tool to compare the changes.
• For failed CI tests, check the block numbers from the update-env steps in the logs to local .env file to be able to run the tests with the same block height.
• Remove the system events filter to see all the events in snapshots.
  • e.g. Replace checkSystemEvents(toChain, 'parachainSystem', 'dmpQueue') to checkSystemEvents(toChain)
• Insert await chain.pause() to pause the test and inspect the Chopsticks instance in the console. The connection details will be displayed in the console log.
  • Edit the timeout in vitest.config.ts to avoid timeout error.
  • Try log the extrinsic hex and replay it in the Chopsticks instance to debug the issue.
• Try replicate the issue in Chopsticks directly to create a minimal reproducible case.
• Once you are able to reproduce the issue in Chopsticks, you may add bunch logs in the runtime and make a wasm and override it. Then use --runtime-log-level 5 to display logs.

• Create new network config in networks folder.
• Update networks/all.ts to include the new network.
• Add Subway config in scripts/configs folder.
• Update run-all.sh to include the new network.

• Checkout other tests as a reference and see if you can find something similar as a base case.
• Starts writing in playground.test.ts and move to the appropriate test file once it is ready.
• Add -u to automatically update snapshots and manually inspect the generated snapshot file to ensure it is expected.

• {NETWORK_NAME}_BLOCK_NUMBER - block number to run tests against
• {NETWORK_NAME}_ENDPOINT - endpoint to connect to
• {NETWORK_NAME}_WASM - override wasm runtime
• DB_URL - path to db file for caching

Use specific block number for tests and db cache can signficantly improve test running speed.

Run yarn update-env to update .env file with latest block number.

To debug failing tests on CI, find the block number config from CI log and put them in .env to run the test with the same block height.

Use subway to run local endpoints to catch RPC responses for additonal improved test running speed.

• Install Subway: cargo install --git https://github.com/AcalaNetwork/subway.git
• Run: ./scripts/run-all.sh

1. Enhance XCM tests by using Bridge SDK in additonal to Polkadot.js
