# Genesis creation testing
Tests the initialization of a genesis state based on Eth1 data.
## Test case format
### `eth1_block_hash.yaml`
A `Bytes32` hex encoded, with prefix 0x. The root of the Eth-1 block.
Also available as `eth1_block_hash.ssz`.
### `eth1_timestamp.yaml`
An integer. The timestamp of the block, in seconds.
### `meta.yaml`
A yaml file to help read the deposit count:
```yaml
deposits_count: int -- Amount of deposits.
```
### `deposits_<index>.yaml`
A series of files, with `<index>` in range `[0, deposits_count)`. Deposits need to be processed in order.
Each file is a YAML-encoded `Deposit` object.
Each deposit is also available as `deposits_<index>.ssz`.
### `state.yaml`
The expected genesis state. A YAML-encoded `BeaconState` object.
Also available as `state.ssz`.
## Processing
To process this test, build a genesis state with the provided `eth1_block_hash`, `eth1_timestamp` and `deposits`:
`initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash, eth1_timestamp, deposits)`,
as described in the Beacon Chain specification.
## Condition
The resulting state should match the expected `state`.
