Vulcanize DB

Build Status

Development Setup

Dependencies

  • Go 1.9+

Cloning the Repository

  1. git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"

    • By default, go get does not work for private GitHub repos. This will fix that.

  2. go get github.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb

  3. go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum

    • This will take a while and gives poor indication of progress.

  4. go install github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth

Creating/Using a Private Blockchain

Syncing the public blockchain takes many hours for the initial sync and will download 20+ GB of data. Here are some instructions for creating a private blockchain that does not depend on having a network connection.

  1. Run ./scripts/setup to create a private blockchain with a new account.
    • This will result in a warning.
  2. Run ./scripts/start_private_blockchain.

Connecting to the Public Blockchain

./scripts/start_blockchain

Running Listener

  1. Start a blockchain.
  2. In a separate terminal start listener (ipcDir location)
    • go run main.go --ipcPath /path/to/file.ipc

IPC File Paths

The default location for the Ethereum blockchain to be stored is:

  • $HOME/Library/Ethereum for Mac
  • $HOME/.ethereum for Ubuntu
  • $GOPATH/src/gihub.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc for private blockchain.

Running the Tests

Integration Test

In order to run the integration tests, you will need to run them against a real blockchain.

  1. Run ./scripts/start_private_blockchain as a separate process.
  2. go test ./...

Unit Tests

go test ./core
