Continuous Integration

Motivation

The idea is to create a GHA in go-spacemesh repository which uses the local testnet tool to verify if the if the build will work with local testnet tool or now.

Solution

We need to create a pipeline with the following prerequisites installed:

• Ubuntu OS
• Nodejs and NPM
• Docker

Then the pipeline will compose of mainly 4 steps.

• First step is to install the local testnet CLI. The installation steps is documented here: https://product.spacemesh.io/#/localnet?id=installing-spacemesh-local-testnet
• Next step is to build and publish the docker image of the go-spacemesh commit
• Next step is to run the local network using the local testnet tool. The steps to run it with custom image is documented here: https://product.spacemesh.io/#/localnet?id=running-a-localnet-with-a-locally-built-poet-service
• The next step is to run the spacemesh-watch tool to monitor the network
• The final step is to write a script that constantly pulls logs from spacemesh-watch container and checks for any error message. spacemesh-watch prints logs in JSON format so it will be easier to validate it. The script will run for few mins and if it detects no errors then it will exist successfully. And if it detects error then it will throw exception.
