# Vulcanize DB
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/vulcanize/VulcanizeDB.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/vulcanize/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 $GOPATH/src/github.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb`
5. Import the schema: `psql vulcanize_private < db/schema.sql`
or run the migrations: `make migrate HOST_NAME=localhost NAME=vulcanize_public PORT=5432`
* See below for configuring additional environments
### IPC File Paths
The default location for Ethereum is:
- `$HOME/Library/Ethereum` for Mac
- `$HOME/.ethereum` for Ubuntu
- `$GOPATH/src/gihub.com/vulcanize/vulcanizedb/test_data_dir/geth.ipc` for private node.
**Note the location of the ipc file is printed to the console when you start geth. It is needed to for configuration**
## Start syncing with postgres
1. Start geth node (**if fast syncing wait for geth to finsh initial sync**)
2. In a separate terminal start vulcanize_db
- `vulcanizedb sync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-number>`
* see `./environments` for example config
## Watch specific events
1. Start geth
2. In a separate terminal start vulcanize_db
- `vulcanizedb sync --config <config.toml> --starting-block-number <block-number>`
3. Create event filter
- `vulcanizedb addFilter --config <config.toml> --filter-filepath <filter.json>`
* see `./filters` for example filter
4. The filters are tracked in the `log_filters` table and the filtered events
will show up in the `watched_log_events` view
## 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 node. 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 `make startprivate` in a separate terminal
2. Setup a test database and import the schema:
`createdb vulcanize_private`
`psql vulcanize_private < db/schema.sql`
3. `go test ./...` to run all tests.
