This file is intended for developers working on the internals of the framework. If you're just looking how to get started with the framework, see the docs
There is a common issue with building packages in forked monorepositories. See details here.
Test are executed using jest. Some test require either the mediator agents or the ledger to be running. When running tests that require a connection to the ledger pool, you need to set the TEST_AGENT_PUBLIC_DID_SEED
and GENESIS_TXN_PATH
environment variables.
If you're using the setup as described in this document, you don't need to provide any environment variables as the default will be sufficient.
GENESIS_TXN_PATH
: The path to the genesis transaction that allows us to connect to the indy pool.GENESIS_TXN_PATH=network/genesis/local-genesis.txn
- default. Works with the ledger setup from the previous step.GENESIS_TXN_PATH=network/genesis/builder-net-genesis.txn
- Sovrin BuilderNet genesis.GENESIS_TXN_PATH=/path/to/any/ledger/you/like
TEST_AGENT_PUBLIC_DID_SEED
: The seed to use for the public DID. This will be used to do public write operations to the ledger. You should use a seed for a DID that is already registered on the ledger.- If using the local or default genesis, use the same seed you used for the
add-did-from-seed
command from the ledger setup in the previous step. (default is000000000000000000000000Trustee9
) - If using the BuilderNet genesis, make sure your seed is registered on the BuilderNet using selfserve.sovrin.org and you have read and accepted the associated Transaction Author Agreement. We are not responsible for any unwanted consequences of using the BuilderNet.
- If using the local or default genesis, use the same seed you used for the
Note: Setup the postgres plugin first by following the docs
# Get postgres docker image
docker pull postgres
# Run postgres in docker
docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
For testing we've added a setup to this repo that allows you to quickly setup an indy ledger.
# Build indy pool
docker build -f network/indy-pool.dockerfile -t indy-pool . --platform linux/amd64
# NOTE: If you are on an ARM (M1) mac use the `network/indy-pool-arm.dockerfile` instead
# docker build -f network/indy-pool-arm.dockerfile -t indy-pool . --platform linux/arm64/v8
# Start indy pool
docker run -d --rm --name indy-pool -p 9701-9708:9701-9708 indy-pool
# Setup CLI. This creates a wallet, connects to the ledger and sets the Transaction Author Agreement
docker exec indy-pool indy-cli-setup
# DID and Verkey from seed. Set 'Trustee' role in order to be able to register public DIDs
docker exec indy-pool add-did-from-seed 000000000000000000000000Trustee9 TRUSTEE
# If you want to register using the DID/Verkey you can use
# docker exec indy-pool add-did "NkGXDEPgpFGjQKMYmz6SyF" "CrSA1WbYYWLJoHm16Xw1VEeWxFvXtWjtsfEzMsjB5vDT"
You can run the tests using the following command.
yarn test
If you're not using the ledger setup from above, make sure you pass the correct environment variables from Setting environment variables for connecting to the indy ledger pool.
GENESIS_TXN_PATH=network/genesis/local-genesis.txn TEST_AGENT_PUBLIC_DID_SEED=000000000000000000000000Trustee9 yarn test
Locally, you might want to run the tests without postgres tests. You can do that by ignoring the tests:
yarn test --testPathIgnorePatterns ./packages/core/tests/postgres.test.ts -u
In case you run into trouble running the tests, e.g. complaining about snapshots not being up-to-date, you can try and remove the data stored for the indy-client. On a Unix system with default setup you achieve this by running:
rm -rf ~/.indy-client
If you don't want to install the libindy dependencies yourself, or want a clean environment when running the framework or tests you can use docker.
Make sure you followed the local ledger setup to setup a local indy pool inside docker.
# Builds the framework docker image with all dependencies installed
docker build -t aries-framework-javascript .
# Run test with ledger pool
docker run -it --rm --network host aries-framework-javascript yarn test
