Go Ethereum Test Suite

Overview

This project contains a suite of tests written in Go for interacting with Ethereum smart contracts and performing various blockchain-related operations. The tests demonstrate how to connect to the Ethereum network, send transactions, and interact with a custom smart contract.

Prerequisites

• Golang: Ensure you have Go installed on your system. Download Go
• Ethereum Node: Access to an Ethereum node is required. This can be either a local node or a remote service
• Solidity Contract: A deployed instance of the smart contract on the Ethereum network.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/flyworker/ether-test

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ether-test

3. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

Configuration

Set up your .env file with the necessary environment variables:

SENDER_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key

Test Files

• ethclient_test.go: Demonstrates how to connect to an Ethereum client and fetches basic blockchain data like the latest block number and network ID.

• ethclient_fund_test.go: Contains tests for transferring Ether to an Ethereum address. It demonstrates how to construct, sign, and send transactions.

• config_test.go: (Provide a brief description of what this file does).

Running Tests

To run the tests, use the following command:

go test -v ./...
