fix!: remove node level pubsub topic concept
For an edge node, there is no such thing as a "pubsub topic configuration". An edge node should be able to operate for any possible shard, and it is a per-protocol matter (eg send message with light push).

A relay node do subscribe to shards, but in this case, even metadata protocol does not need to advertise them, this is already handled by gossipsub.

Only service node should advertise their shards via metadata protocol, which is out of scope for js-waku.

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 nwaku node with the image name specified in nwaku.ts and packages/tests/package.json. The tests can be run against a different image by setting the environment variable WAKUNODE_IMAGE to the desired image.

  • Whatever WAKUNODE_IMAGE is 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:node
    

    Or against the default docker image by running:

    npm run test:node
    
  • You can also run the tests against a local nwaku by setting the environment variable WAKUNODE_IMAGE to 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-name
      

      Then, 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 nwaku nodes can be found in packages/tests/logs folder 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.
