Requirements

• Go 1.19

Build

To run a basic build:

$ make build

To install the empowerd executable:

$ make install

Run locally

To spin up a local chain:

$ make serve

To kill the running instance:

$ make kill-all

Test

To run unit tests:

$ make test-unit

To run e2e tests (and unit tests):

$ make test

To run a basic smoke test (spins up the chain and runs a couple of commands against it)

$ make smoketest

Run CI/CD locally

EmpowerChain is using Earthly heavily for CI/CD. It abstracts away the underlying CI/CD system (such as GitHub actions) and allows you to run the same commands locally using a docker-like environment and set-up.

In short, Earthly is like a combination of Docker and a Makefile.

For instance, to run the tests in almost the same way as the GitHub action, you can run:

$ earthly -P +test

To see more targets, take a look at the Earthfile in this directory.
