Testing topics

• storage and retrieval deals:
  • end-to-end flows where clients store and retrieve pieces from miners, including stress testing the system.
• payment channels:
  • stress testing payment channels via excessive lane creation, excessive payment voucher atomisation, and redemption.

Running the test cases

If you are unfamiliar with Testground, we strongly suggest you read the Testground Getting Started guide in order to learn how to install Testground and how to use it.

You can find various composition files describing various test scenarios built as part of Project Oni at lotus-soup/_compositions directory.

We've designed the test cases so that you can run them via the local:exec, local:docker and the cluster:k8s runners. Note that Lotus miners are quite resource intensive, requiring gigabytes of memory. Hence you would have to run these test cases on a beafy machine (when using local:docker and local:exec), or on a Kubernetes cluster (when using cluster:k8s).

Here are the basics of how to run the baseline deals end-to-end test case:

Running the baseline deals end-to-end test case

1. Compile and Install Testground from source code.

   • See the Getting Started section of the README for instructions.

2. Run a Testground daemon

testground daemon

3. Download required Docker images for the lotus-soup test plan

make pull-images

Alternatively you can build them locally with

make build-images

4. Import the lotus-soup test plan into your Testground home directory

testground plan import --from ./lotus-soup

6. Run a composition for the baseline deals end-to-end test case

testground run composition -f ./lotus-soup/_compositions/baseline-docker-5-1.toml
