Vulcanize DB
Development Setup
Dependencies
- Go 1.9+
- https://github.com/golang/dep
go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
- https://github.com/go-godo/godo
go get -u gopkg.in/godo.v2/cmd/godo
- Postgres 10
Cloning the Repository
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.
- By default,
go get github.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb
go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
- This will take a while and gives poor indication of progress.
go install github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb
dep ensure
Setting up the Databases
- Install Postgres
- Create a superuser for yourself and make sure
psql --list
works without prompting for a password. go get -u -d github.com/mattes/migrate/cli github.com/lib/pq
go build -tags 'postgres' -o /usr/local/bin/migrate github.com/mattes/migrate/cli
createdb vulcanize_private
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb
godo migrate -- --environment=<some-environment>
- See below for configuring additional environments
Adding a new migration: ./scripts/create_migration <migration-name>
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.
- Run
./scripts/setup
to create a private blockchain with a new account.- This will result in a warning.
- Run
./scripts/start_private_blockchain
. - Run
godo run -- --environment=private
to start listener.
Connecting to the Public Blockchain
./scripts/start_blockchain
IPC File Paths
The default location for Ethereum is:
$HOME/Library/Ethereum
for Mac$HOME/.ethereum
for Ubuntu$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc
for private blockchain.
Note the location of the ipc file is outputted when you connect to a blockchain. It is needed to for configuration
Running Listener
- Start a blockchain.
- In a separate terminal start listener (ipcDir location)
godo run -- --environment=<some-environment>
Retrieving Historical Data
- Start a blockchain.
- In a separate terminal start listener (ipcDir location)
godo populateBlocks -- --environment=<some-environment> --starting-number=<starting-block-number>
Retrieve Contract Attributes
- Add contract ABI to contracts / environment directory:
vulcanizedb/
contracts/
public/
<contract-address>.json
private/
The name of the JSON file should correspond the contract's address.
2. Start watching the contract godo watchContract -- --environment=<some-environment> --contract-hash=<contract-address>
3. Request summary data godo showContractSummary -- --environment=<some-environment> --contract-hash=<contract-address>
Configuring Additional Environments
You can create configuration files for additional environments.
- Among other things, it will require the IPC file path
- See
environments/private.toml
for an example - You will need to do this if you want to run a node connecting to the public blockchain
Running the Tests
Integration Test
In order to run the integration tests, you will need to run them against a real blockchain.
- Run
./scripts/start_private_blockchain
as a separate process. go test ./...
to run all tests.
Unit Tests
go test ./pkg/...
