# Light client sync tests

This series of tests provides reference test vectors for validating that a light client implementing the sync protocol can sync to the latest block header.

## Test case format

### `meta.yaml`

```yaml
genesis_validators_root: Bytes32  -- string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix
trusted_block_root: Bytes32       -- string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix
```

### `bootstrap.ssz_snappy`

An SSZ-snappy encoded `bootstrap` object of type `LightClientBootstrap` to initialize a local `store` object of type `LightClientStore` using `initialize_light_client_store(trusted_block_rooot, bootstrap)`.

### `steps.yaml`

The steps to execute in sequence.

#### Checks to run after each step

Each step includes checks to verify the expected impact on the `store` object.

```yaml
finalized_header: {
    slot: int,                -- Integer value from store.finalized_header.slot
    beacon_root: string,      -- Encoded 32-byte value from store.finalized_header.hash_tree_root()
}
optimistic_header: {
    slot: int,                -- Integer value from store.optimistic_header.slot
    beacon_root: string,      -- Encoded 32-byte value from store.optimistic_header.hash_tree_root()
}
```

#### `force_update` execution step

The function `process_light_client_store_force_update(store, current_slot)`
should be executed with the specified parameters:

```yaml
{
    current_slot: int                  -- integer, decimal
    checks: {<store_attibute>: value}  -- the assertions.
}
```

After this step, the `store` object may have been updated.

#### `process_update` execution step

The function `process_light_client_update(store, update, current_slot, genesis_validators_root)` should be executed with the specified parameters:

```yaml
{
    update: string                     -- name of the `*.ssz_snappy` file to load
                                          as a `LightClientUpdate` object
    current_slot: int                  -- integer, decimal
    checks: {<store_attibute>: value}  -- the assertions.
}
```

After this step, the `store` object may have been updated.

## Condition

A test-runner should initialize a local `LightClientStore` using the provided `bootstrap` object. It should then proceed to execute all the test steps in sequence. After each step, it should verify that the resulting `store` verifies against the provided `checks`.
