- testnets can now be launched with a separate validator client - make altona SCRIPT_PARAMS="--separateVC"
- reverted the ctrl+C signal handler code reuse - not necessary for the VC anyway (default is good enough)
- added a bit more logging in the VC
- removed unnecessary code in the VC - connect() just parses the address & port...
- fixed a couple more VC issues - when fetching the duties for an epoch fails on the BN side ==> the VC shouldn't be left in a broken state
- documented the currently supported json-rpc endpoints
- added more checks on the BN side for the API - bounds-checking the requests & also checking if the BN itself is synced
- other cleanup
currently a local sim doesn't finalize, but participation in the altona network with a separate VC is painless and works just as well as with in-process validators in a BN
- remove `--dev-build` option
- unconditionally write the "nbc.log" file, but do it after a chdir to
dataDir because Chronicles doesn't seem to support proper paths for
"file(...)" in sink definitions
- change base RPC port (9090 -> 9190) because 9090 is the default
Prometheus daemon listening port
Since I'm not able to reproduce the finalization failure locally
and it does happen only sporadically, one possible explanation is
that the introduction of keystores lead to a slower initialization
of the beacon nodes which somehow interferes with their behavior
during the initial slots.
If increasing the start-up delay fixes the problems, the hypothesis
will be confirmed.
- moved "process_dashboard.nim" in "tools/"
- README: made Witti the documented testnet and added instructions for
getting metrics out of the local node
- moved Prometheus config file generation in its own script
- the static Grafana dashboard definition now covers all nodes, using
a variable; only the remote testnet dashboards need to be dynamically
generated
- "launch_local_testnet.sh" no longer needs a "--grafana" option
The first offset of an SSZ object should always have a fixed constant
value. Otherwise, some unused bytes may appear between the fixed portion
and the dynamic portion.
Please note that this fix shutds down the minimal forward compatibility
currently supported by the SSZ format (and thus, the expected behavior
must be clarified in the SSZ spec).
* sync fixes
* fix Status message finalized info
* work around sync starting before initial status exchange
* don't fail block on deposit signature check failure (fixes#989)
* print ForkDigest and Version nicely
* dump incoming blocks
* fix crash when libp2p peer connection is closed

* Jenkins: add timeouts to testnet finalisation tests
- add nicer child process management to "launch_local_testnet.sh"
- correct a comment in "start.sh"
* the Jenkins worker's version of "timeout" doesn't support "-v"
* Create a json log named "nbc.log" only when the --dev-build option
is specified to the connect_to_testnet script.
This option is specified for the targets "testnet0", "testnet1"
and "schlesi-dev"
Please see the newly added 'schlesi-dev' Makefile target.
It demonstrates how the log level can be specified for individual topics.
Additionally, when connecting to testnets like 'schlesi' there will be
two additional log files produced in the working directory:
* json-log.txt
* text-log.txt (in the textblocks format)
* fix mainnet finalization and swith eth2_network_simulation to a kind of small-mainnet profile
* Fix slot reference in trace logging
* bump a couple of spec refs from v0.11.0 to v0.11.1
* bump another spec ref to v0.11.1, one more try at Jenkins test vector download CI issue
* fix other slot reference in trace logging and skip past single-block/multi-slot gaps to re-approach from ancestry side by state_transitioning, by requiring exact match on both root hash and slot for fast path
* make more precise the fast path condition
* redo logic to make uniform with BeaconChainDB; fix chronos deprecation warning
* revert not-working replacement of deprecated chronos futures `or`
* switch testnet1 to mainnet
* beacon node code cleanup
* rudimentary error checking on mainnet monitor
* start client even when sending deposit
* work around missing block number exception
* connect to testnet with web3 url
* pretty-print digests in json
The loader has been tested with the presets published by Lighthouse.
You can try connecting to one of their testnets by running:
cd nim-beacon-chain
./connect-to-testnet lighthouse/testnet0
On your very first connection to each testnet, you'll be asked to
become a validator. Please consult our private repo for a Goerli
Eth1 private key that you can use for deposits.
Other changes:
* Added a simple wrapper ./connect-to-testnet script calling the
nims file in the correct environment. No extension was used to
make the command the same on Unix and Windows.
* Bumped a number of modules with fixes from this week
* `make testnet0` and `make testnet1` will no longer delete your
existing database. This is considered a more appropriate behavior
for testing forward sync.
* Move BeaconNode type to its own file (fewer imports)
* disentangle sync protocol/request manager
* fix some old nimisms
* de-fear some logs
* simplify eth1 data production
* add stack tracing to release builds
* drop release compile flag for testnet
- use a Debian Bullseye image
- use the distro's packages whenever possible
- cache as much as possible of the Git repos and tool binaries locally
- restrict Docker image pushing to specific branches; no build
restrictions, to allow for easy development
The number of user nodes is now specified with `USER_NODES`.
To make the instructions more stable, the "numeric id" of the user
nodes will be starting from 0 (so you can always use `run_node.sh 0`
to start a user node).
If you specify a node index above the total number of nodes, you'll
launch a node without any validators attached (this is useful for
testing the sync for example).
When the connect_to_testnet script is invoked it will first verify that
the genesis file of the testnet hasn't changed. If it has changed, any
previously created database associated with the testnet will be erased.
To facilitate this, the genesis file of each network is written to the
data folder of the beacon node. The beacon node will refuse to start if
it detects a discrepancy between the data folder and any state snapshot
specified on the command-line.
Since the testnet sharing spec requires us to use SSZ snapshots, the Json
support is now phased out. To help with the transition and to preserve the
functionality of the multinet scripts, the beacon node now supports a CLI
query command that can extract any data from the genesis state. This is
based on new developments in the SSZ navigators.
* Delete the node database on all containers when resetting a testnet
* Add a simple mechanism for switching the URL of the eth2-testnets repo
* More flexible code for validator assignments
* update test submodule [skip ci]
* rename the process_lfs script to setup_official_tests [skip ci]
* clarify that the existing LFS is for json files [skip ci]
* Update again to use download/unpack function library
* update the test downloading script [skip ci]
* Update EF fixtures with new test path
* fix symlink order
* Fix relative:absolute symlink issue
* add symlink existence check
* setup_official_tests.sh: refactoring
Multi-client testing requires more portable formats, and SSZ is
much better specified than our flavour of Json.
Tools like ncli and zcli can be now used to inspect the contents
of the SSZ files.
* add interop launcher scripts
* stick validator_keygen into beacon_node
* fix lmd ghost slot number on missing block
* use mocked eth1data when producing blocks
* use bls public key method for withdrawal credentials
* fix deposit domain
* prefer lowercase for a bunch of toHex
* build simulation binary in data folder to avoid data types confusion
* Update fixtures to 0.8.3
* v0.8.1 tests use new test path
* LFS caching: handle multiple versions of json_tests
* Enable paths > 260 characters in appveyor
* Appveyor: use git clone core.longpaths + the env variable at startup
* improve process_lfs.sh and cleanup submodules
* handle LFS fixtures for the test suite
* test_fixture_ssz_static.nim: allow the tests to fail properly
- switch to a debug build for the failing tests
* try -d:debug
- added a "quitProc" for shutting down the p2pd process, after seeing it
survive an unhandled exception (this required a global var for the
DaemonApi instance)
- Makefile testnet0/1 targets now depend on the "p2pd" binary
- prefixed the testnet command line in the build script message with
"../../env.sh" so it can find the superproject's "p2pd"
* On the testnet site, the first N instead of the last N validators
will be considered reserved for users
* The number of validators is consistently named `totalValidators`
in all commands
* Proper keys are generated by default in validator_keygen
