- 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
- each BN gets half of its previous validators as inProcess and the other half goes to the respective VC for that BN - using separate data dirs where the keys are copied
- also removed a few command line options which are no longer necessary
- block proposals originating from a VC are propagated from one BN to the rest properly
- other cleanup & moving code back to since it is no longer used elsewhere
- we have a new binary which connects via RPC to the respective BN and has an internal clock - waking it up on every slot
- the BN has a new option called --external-validators and currently in order to have the VC binaries to run we need to pass EXTERNAL_VALIDATORS=yes to make
- factored some code out of beacon_node.nim for easier reuse in validator_api.nim and validator_client.nim
- the VC loads its associated private keys from the datadir for its BN
- most of the validator API calls have been implemented as a stub.
- the VC polls its BN at the start of each epoch - getting a list of all active validators for the current epoch - and then continues to request blocks and sign them with its appropriate validators when necessary
* 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"
* 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
* refactor --verify-finalization from run_node to only be invoked via eth2_network_simulation and local sim; clean up various shell issues
* remove hardcoded --verify-finalization in launch_local_testnet
- Jenkins: we don't need LOG_LEVEL=TRACE twice for the same binaries
- eth2_network_simulation: allow overriding NETWORK_TYPE and
BOOTSTRAP_NODE_NETWORK_TYPE from the environment
* re-enable test_interop based on zcli with 0.9.1 specs and update initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(...) to 0.9.1
* switch many procs to funcs
* fix import os.nim instead; ospaths is deprecated [Deprecated] warnings
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).
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.
* stop double-counting attestation-topic attestations
* track attestations sent/received in grafana
* address suggestion to clarify sent attestation count being across all nodes
* 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
* relax attestation validation when attestation is incoming but make it
more strict when adding to block
* share attestation validation logic between attestation pool and state
transition
* remove a bunch of redundant logging
* fix potential underflow in attestation delay checking
* fix committee used for attestation shard selection when attesting
* fix attestation data construction
* working justification, 1 node, 64 validators
* closer to tn1 params: 256 validators
* more debugging output; switch to minimum test case
* working justification and finalization in local network simulation
* fix currently incorrect state transition/attestation test assumption
The shell expansion syntax used in the run_node script was not handled properly
by the bash shell shipped with macOS. In particular, it was not able to handle
range expressions involving interpolated vars:
cp foo/{$FIRST_INDEX..$LAST_INDEX} ...
- updated README.md
- beacon_chain.nimble: accept compilation flags as params
- nim.cfg: enable `--opt:speed` at the top level
- simulation scripts: allow overriding GIT_ROOT and do some refactoring
* avoid crash on invalid block production (fixes#209)
* fetch blocks every second, roughly
* fix start.sh param order
* run beacon node sim at slower pace
* 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
* add simple bitfield type (fixes#19)
* fix bit endianess to match spec
* consolidate attestation and block logging
* cruft cleanup
* run optimizer on tests, speeds up build
With these changes, running a simulation is very close to running
an actual testnet. Some checks have been added in the client to
make sure you are not connecting to an incompatible network (e.g.
a network running with a different number of shards).
Passing along no-name command line arguments when using make (from Nimbus) would need make target revamps that are a bit clumsy AFAIK, so using environment variables in the spirit of USE_MULTITAIL to get the number of validators and nodes makes more sense to me.
This lets us run the sim from nim-beacon-chain with
```bash
VALIDATORS=512 NODES=100 USE_MULTITAIL="yes" tests/simulation/start.sh
```
and from Nimbus with:
```bash
VALIDATORS=512 NODES=100 USE_MULTITAIL="yes" make eth2_network_simulation
```
Also makes for a more verbose launch process.
