Solana Program Local Testing

1. Start the local Solana validator with the Metaplex Token Metadata program:

   solana-test-validator -r \
     --bpf-program metaqbxxUerdq28cj1RbAWkYQm3ybzjb6a8bt518x1s dumps/metadata.so

This command starts a local Solana validator, resets it (-r flag), and loads the Metaplex Token Metadata program.

2. Airdrop some SOL to your wallet:

   solana airdrop 5 H6B8Qo82EW2jK7HDgEj5EUwv5gq8TSMbGLkXfFmQhmJg

   Replace H6B8Qo82EW2jK7HDgEj5EUwv5gq8TSMbGLkXfFmQhmJg with your wallet address if different.

3. Run Anchor tests:

   anchor test --skip-local-validator

   This command runs your Anchor tests without starting a new local validator (since we've already started one in step 1).

Notes

• Ensure that your Anchor.toml file and program ID in your Rust code (lib.rs) match the deployed program ID.
• If you encounter any "Program ID mismatch" errors, double-check that your program is correctly deployed to the local validator.
• The dumps/metadata.so file should contain the compiled Metaplex Token Metadata program. Ensure this file exists in the specified path.
