Blockchain

For developing smart contracts I've chosen foundry. Follow the instructions to install foundry via foundryup:

• anvil (local Ethereum node, akin to Ganache)
• forge (Ethereum testing framework, like Truffle)

To run anvil, run:

docker-compose up 

To compile smart contracts, run:

forge build

To test smart contracts, run:

forge test 

To test smart contracts and see logs, gas usage etc, run:

forge test -vvvvv

To generate rust bindings for smart contracts, run:

forge bind \
  --bindings-path ../organisation/src/transport/ethereum \
  --module \
  --overwrite

Organisation

To implement a prototype of an organisation/peer, I've chosen rust.

There's a neat little script that runs a couple of peers and a coordinator simultaneously. It requires tmux.

./run-dev.sh

To run unit tests, run:

cargo test

To run integration tests, run:

cargo integration-tests

To generate gRPC code, run:

cargo build --features gen-proto

To control log level output use env variable RUST_LOG for example:

export RUST_LOG=INFO

To control backtrace level use env variable RUST_BACKTRACE for example:

export RUST_BACKTRACE=full

To run application via docker, run:

docker build -t organisation .
dokcer run organisation

For building docker images, I use buildkit. To enable it:

export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
