Operations tests

The different kinds of operations ("transactions") are tested individually with test handlers.

Test case format

meta.yaml

description: string    -- Optional description of test case, purely for debugging purposes.
                          Tests should use the directory name of the test case as identifier, not the description.
bls_setting: int       -- see general test-format spec.

pre.ssz_snappy

An SSZ-snappy encoded BeaconState, the state before applying the operation.

<input-name>.ssz_snappy

An SSZ-snappy encoded operation object, e.g. a ProposerSlashing, or Deposit.

post.ssz_snappy

An SSZ-snappy encoded BeaconState, the state after applying the operation. No value if operation processing is aborted.

Condition

A handler of the operations test-runner should process these cases, calling the corresponding processing implementation. This excludes the other parts of the block-transition.

Operations:

operation-name operation-object input name processing call
attestation Attestation attestation process_attestation(state, attestation)
attester_slashing AttesterSlashing attester_slashing process_attester_slashing(state, attester_slashing)
block_header BeaconBlock block process_block_header(state, block)
deposit Deposit deposit process_deposit(state, deposit)
proposer_slashing ProposerSlashing proposer_slashing process_proposer_slashing(state, proposer_slashing)
voluntary_exit SignedVoluntaryExit voluntary_exit process_voluntary_exit(state, voluntary_exit)
sync_aggregate SyncAggregate sync_aggregate process_sync_aggregate(state, sync_aggregate) (new in Altair)
execution_payload BeaconBlockBody body process_execution_payload(state, body) (new in Bellatrix)
withdrawals ExecutionPayload execution_payload process_withdrawals(state, execution_payload) (new in Capella)
bls_to_execution_change SignedBLSToExecutionChange address_change process_bls_to_execution_change(state, address_change) (new in Capella)
deposit_receipt DepositReceipt deposit_receipt process_deposit_receipt(state, deposit_receipt) (new in Electra)
execution_layer_withdrawal_request ExecutionLayerWithdrawalRequest execution_layer_withdrawal_request process_execution_layer_withdrawal_request(state, execution_layer_withdrawal_request) (new in Electra)
execution_layer_consolidation_request ExecutionLayerConsolidationRequest execution_layer_consolidation_request process_execution_layer_consolidation_request(state, execution_layer_consolidation_request) (new in Electra)

Note that block_header is not strictly an operation (and is a full Block), but processed in the same manner, and hence included here.

The execution_payload processing normally requires a verify_execution_state_transition(execution_payload), a responsibility of an (external) execution engine. During testing this execution is mocked, an execution.yml is provided instead: a dict containing an execution_valid boolean field with the verification result.

The resulting state should match the expected post state, or if the post state is left blank, the handler should reject the input operation as invalid.
