First Example

The following is an example of a Solo test. It deploys a new chain and invokes some view calls in the root and governance core contracts.

import (
    "testing"

    "github.com/iotaledger/wasp/packages/solo"
    "github.com/iotaledger/wasp/packages/vm/core/corecontracts"
    "github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)

func TestTutorialFirst(t *testing.T) {
    env := solo.New(t)
    chain := env.NewChain()

    // calls views governance::ViewGetChainInfo and root:: ViewGetContractRecords
    chainID, chainOwnerID, coreContracts := chain.GetInfo()
    // assert that all core contracts are deployed
    require.EqualValues(t, len(corecontracts.All), len(coreContracts))

    t.Logf("chain ID: %s", chainID.String())
    t.Logf("chain owner ID: %s", chainOwnerID.String())
    for hname, rec := range coreContracts {
        t.Logf("    Core contract %q: %s", rec.Name, hname)
    }
}

The output of the test will be something like this:

note
  • The example uses stretchr/testify for assertions, but it is not strictly required.
  • Addresses, chain IDs and other hashes should be the same on each run of the test because Solo uses a constant seed by default.
  • The timestamps shown in the log come from the computer's timer, but the Solo environment operates on its own logical time.

The core contracts listed in the log are automatically deployed on each new chain. The log also shows their contract IDs.

The output fragment in the log state transition --> #1 means that the state of the chain has changed from block index 0 (the origin index of the empty state) to block index 1. State #0 is the empty origin state, and #1 always contains all core smart contracts deployed on the chain, as well as other data internal to the chain itself, such as the chainID and the chain owner ID.

The chain ID and chain owner ID are, respectively, the ID of the deployed chain, and the address of the L1 account that triggered the deployment of the chain (which is automatically generated by Solo in our example, but it can be overridden when calling env.NewChain).
