# Vulcanize DB
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb.svg?token=GKv2Y33qsFnfYgejjvYx&branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/8thlight/vulcanizedb)
### Dependencies
- Go 1.9+
- Postgres 10
- Go Ethereum
- https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/downloads/
### Installation
go get github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb
### Setting up the Databases
1. Install Postgres
2. Create a superuser for yourself and make sure `psql --list` works without prompting for a password.
3. `createdb vulcanize_private`
4. `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb`
5. Import the schema:
`psql vulcanize_private < db/schema.sql`
or run the migrations:
`make migrate HOST_NAME=localhost NAME=vulcanize_public PORT=5432`
* See below for configuring additional environments
Adding a new migration: `./scripts/create_migration <migration-name>`
## Start syncing with postgres
1. Start geth
2. In a separate terminal start vulcanize_db
- `vulcanizedb sync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-numbe>`
* see `environments` for example config
## Watch specific contract events
1. Start geth
2. In a separate terminal start vulcanize_db
- `vulcanizedb sync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-numbe>`
3. Create event filter
- `vulcanizedb addFilter --config <config.toml> --filter-filepath <filter.json>`
* see `filters` for example filter
## Development Setup
### Cloning the Repository (Private repo only)
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/vulcanize/vulcanizedb`
3. `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb`
4. `dep ensure`
### Creating/Using a test node
Syncing the against the public network takes many hours for the initial sync and will download 20+ GB of data.
Here are some instructions for creating a private test node that does not depend on having a network connection.
1. Run `./scripts/setup` to create a private blockchain with a new account.
* This will result in a warning.
2. Run `./scripts/start_private_blockchain`.
### IPC File Paths
The default location for Ethereum is:
- `$HOME/Library/Ethereum` for Mac
- `$HOME/.ethereum` for Ubuntu
- `$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc` for private blockchain.
**Note the location of the ipc file is printed to the console when you start geth. It is needed to for configuration**
## Running the Tests
### Unit Tests
1. `go test ./pkg/...`
### Integration Test
In order to run the integration tests, you will need to run them against a real blockchain. At the moment the integration tests require [Geth v1.7.2](https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/downloads/) as they depend on the `--dev` mode, which changed in v1.7.3
1. Run `./scripts/start_private_blockchain` as a separate process.
2. `go test ./...` to run all tests.
