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
genesis_validators_root: Bytes32 -- string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix
trusted_block_root: Bytes32 -- string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix
bootstrap_fork_digest: string -- Encoded `ForkDigest`-context of `bootstrap`
store_fork_digest: string -- Encoded `ForkDigest`-context of `store` object being tested
bootstrap.ssz_snappy
An SSZ-snappy encoded bootstrap object of type LightClientBootstrap to initialize a local store object of type LightClientStore with store_fork_digest using initialize_light_client_store(trusted_block_rooot, bootstrap). The SSZ type can be determined from bootstrap_fork_digest.
If store_fork_digest differs from bootstrap_fork_digest, the bootstrap object may need to be upgraded before initializing the store.
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.
finalized_header: {
slot: int, -- Integer value from store.finalized_header.beacon.slot
beacon_root: string, -- Encoded 32-byte value from store.finalized_header.beacon.hash_tree_root()
execution_root: string, -- From Capella onward; get_lc_execution_root(store.finalized_header)
}
optimistic_header: {
slot: int, -- Integer value from store.optimistic_header.beacon.slot
beacon_root: string, -- Encoded 32-byte value from store.optimistic_header.beacon.hash_tree_root()
execution_root: string, -- From Capella onward; get_lc_execution_root(store.optimistic_header)
}
force_update execution step
The function process_light_client_store_force_update(store, current_slot)
should be executed with the specified parameters:
{
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:
{
update_fork_digest: string -- Encoded `ForkDigest`-context of `update`
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.
}
If store_fork_digest differs from update_fork_digest, the update object may need to be upgraded before processing the update.
After this step, the store object may have been updated.
upgrade_store
The store should be upgraded to reflect the new store_fork_digest:
{
store_fork_digest: string -- Encoded `ForkDigest`-context of `store`
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.
