To increase confidence in the correctness of the Interchain Security code we consider various testing approaches.
Unit tests are useful for simple standalone functionality, and CRUD operations. Unit tests should use golang's standard testing package, and be defined in files formatted as <file being tested>_test.go
in the same directory as the file being tested, following standard conventions.
Mocked external keepers (implemented with gomock) are available for testing code that briefly interacts with external modules, but still only a single function/method relevant to ccv, and a single chain. Ie. do not use mocked external keepers to test the integration of the ccv module with external modules, or integration between consumer and provider.
integration-tests utilize the IBC Testing Package, and test functionality that is wider in scope than a unit test, but still able to be validated in-memory. Ie. code where advancing blocks would be useful, simulated handshakes, simulated packet relays, etc.
To run integration tests against your own consumer/provider implementations, use instance_test.go as an example. All you'll need to do is make sure your applications implement the necessary interfaces defined in interfaces.go, pattern match specific_setup.go, then pass in the appropriate types and parameters to the suite, as is done in instance_test.go
for the dummy provider/consumer implementations.
A list of test scenarios covered by integration tests can be found in scripts/test_doc/test_documentation.md. When adding an integration test, write a brief description as a docstring in the Golang code in this schema:
// This is a test that tests foo and bar.
// @Long Description@
// Here is a detailed description
// that goes into more detail and describes the scenario.
Then, run make build-testing-docs
to update the test documentation.
MBT tests are similar to integration tests, but they compare the system state to an expected state generated from a formally verified specification written in Quint.
E2E tests run true consumer and provider chain binaries within a docker container and are relevant to the highest level of functionality. E2E tests use queries/transactions invoked from CLI to drive and validate the code.
Simulation tests are used to test the full application via the SDK's simulation framework. This framework generates random inputs and checks that certain user-defined invariants hold. Notably, as-of-now simulation tests do not include any multi-chain testing, so can only test the provider chain on its own, without consumer chains.
To test compatibility between different provider and consumer versions the E2E tests were extended by compatibility tests. The test cases perform basic sanity tests against the selected provider and consumer versions. A selected combination of provider and consumer versions are tested on a nightly bases and can be run locally with the related make command listed below.
Tests can be run using make
:
# run unit, integration, diff, and E2E tests
make test
# run unit tests
make test-unit
# run integration tests
make test-integration
# run mbt tests
make test-mbt
# run unit, integration, and mbt tests - shortcut for local development
make test-dev
# run E2E tests
make test-e2e
# run only happy path E2E tests
make test-e2e-short
# equivalent to make test with caching disabled
make test-no-cache
# run E2E compatibility tests for selected provider and consumer versions
make test-e2e-compatibility-tests-latest
# run full simulation tests
make sim-full
#run simulation tests where providerModule.max_provider_consensus_validators=stakingModule.max_validators=100
make sim-full-no-inactive-vals
Alternatively you can run tests using go test
:
# run all unit, integration, and diff tests using go
go test ./...
# run all unit, integration, and diff tests with verbose output
go test -v ./..
# run all unit, integration, and diff tests with coverage stats
go test -coverpkg=./x/... -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
# run a single unit test
go test -run <unit-test-name> path/to/package
# example: run a single unit test
go test -run TestSlashAcks ./x/ccv/provider/keeper
# run a single integration test
go test -run <test-suite-name>/<test-name> ./...
# example: run a single integration test
go test -run TestProviderTestSuite/TestPacketRoundtrip ./...
# run all E2E tests
go run ./tests/e2e/...
# run all E2E tests with a local cosmos sdk
go run ./tests/e2e/... --local-sdk-path "/Users/bob/Documents/cosmos-sdk/"
# run golang native fuzz tests (https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/fuzz)
go test -fuzz=<regex-to-match-test-name>
# run verbose E2E tests
go run ./tests/e2e/... --local-sdk-path "/Users/bob/Documents/cosmos-sdk/" --verbose
# run simulation tests; should be run from the 0app/provider directory
go test -mod=readonly . -run=^TestFullAppSimulation$ -Enabled=true -NumBlocks=500 -BlockSize=200 -Commit=true -timeout 24h -v
Integration tests can be run with Gaia as the provider. By default, the latest tagged release of Gaia is used - this includes release candidates and stabile releases.
# use gaia as the provider
go run ./tests/integration/... --use-gaia
# use gaia as the provider - use specific tagged release
go run ./tests/integration/... --use-gaia --gaia-tag v9.0.0
NOTE: versions < v9.0.0 are not compatible with ICS.
Several analyzers are used on the code including CodeQL, SonarCloud, golangci-lint and gosec. Some of these are run on github when committing to PRs etc, but some tools are also applicable locally, and are built into golang.
# gofmt to format and simplify code (https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/gofmt)
gofmt -w -s -e .
# go vet to search for suspicious code (https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/vet)
go vet ./...
Some useful tools are included in the repository using pre-commit. pre-commit lets you run developer tools either on every git commit, or manually with pre-commit run --all-files
. See the config for details. In this repo the hooks are not installed to git, as that can be cumbersome, but it is still possible to benefit from them.
## Prerequisites
# pre-commit
brew install pre-commit
# goimports (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports)
go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest
# gocyclo (https://github.com/fzipp/gocyclo)
go install github.com/fzipp/gocyclo/cmd/gocyclo@latest
# go-critic https://github.com/go-critic/go-critic
go install github.com/go-critic/go-critic/cmd/gocritic@latest
## Run the tools
pre-commit run --all-files
If using VSCode, see vscode-go/wiki/debugging to debug unit tests or go binaries.
More instructions will be added soon, in time for the testnet.
