Concepts are being mixed up between the global network config (static vs auto sharding), that needs to be the same of all nodes in the network, individual node configuration (eg relay node subscribing to a given shard), and the routing characteristic of a specific message (eg pubsub topic, shard). This stops proper configuration of nwaku post 0.36.0 because we know need to be deliberate on whether nwaku nodes are running with auto or static sharding. It also included various back and forth conversions between shards, pubsub topics, etc. With this change, we tidy up the network configuration, and make it explicit whether it is static or auto sharded. We also introduce the concept of routing info, which is specific to a message, and tied to the overall network configuration. Routing info abstract pubsub topic, shard, and autosharding needs. Which should lead to easier tidy up of the pubsub concept at a later stage. # Conflicts: # packages/core/src/lib/connection_manager/connection_manager.ts # packages/core/src/lib/metadata/metadata.ts # packages/interfaces/src/metadata.ts # packages/interfaces/src/sharding.ts # packages/relay/src/create.ts # packages/sdk/src/filter/filter.ts # packages/sdk/src/filter/types.ts # packages/sdk/src/light_push/light_push.spec.ts # packages/tests/tests/sharding/auto_sharding.spec.ts # packages/tests/tests/sharding/static_sharding.spec.ts # Conflicts: # packages/sdk/src/store/store.ts
Description
This package contains tests for the js-waku library.
Pre-requisites
Some of the tests from this package require a running nwaku node.
These nodes are setup to be run in a docker container.
Therefore, you need to have docker installed on your machine to run the tests.
Running interop tests
-
The tests by default run against an
nwakunode with the image name specified innwaku.tsandpackages/tests/package.json. The tests can be run against a different image by setting the environment variableWAKUNODE_IMAGEto the desired image. -
Whatever
WAKUNODE_IMAGEis set to, the tests will run against that image. If the image is not available locally, the tests will pull the image from the docker hub. You can run the tests by running the following command:WAKUNODE_IMAGE=explicit-image-name npm run test:nodeOr against the default docker image by running:
npm run test:node -
You can also run the tests against a local
nwakuby setting the environment variableWAKUNODE_IMAGEto the name of the image. The tests will then run against the local image.-
For example, to run the tests against a local checkout of
nwaku, build the image first manually. You can build the image by running the following command:docker build path-to-dockerfile -t image-nameThen, you can run the tests by running the following command:
WAKUNODE_IMAGE=image-name npm run test:node
-
-
Locally, tests are executed serially, allowing the use of .only for focused testing. If you wish to run all tests locally and expedite the process, you can enable parallel execution in the Mocha configuration.
-
Logs from
nwakunodes can be found inpackages/tests/logsfolder from latest execution.
Running tests in the CI
- Tests are being run on standard Ubuntu GitHub Actions instances.
- To speed up execution, we run tests in parallel. After numerous attempts, we determined that using 6 threads strikes the best balance between execution speed and test reliability. Using more than this doesn't significantly decrease execution time and might even slow it down.
- To address occasional test flakiness, primarily due to Docker containers starting and stopping for each test and the concurrent execution of tests, we utilize the Mocha retry mechanism.
