Vulcanize DB
Development Setup
Dependencies
- Go 1.9+
Cloning the Repository
-
git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"- By default,
go getdoes 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
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/setupto create a private blockchain with a new account.- This will result in a warning.
- Run
./scripts/start_private_blockchain.
Connecting to the Public Blockchain
./scripts/start_blockchain
Running Listener
- Start a blockchain.
- 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:
$HOME/Library/Ethereumfor Mac$HOME/.ethereumfor Ubuntu$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipcfor private 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_blockchainas a separate process. go test ./...
Unit Tests
go test ./core
