This is an update to the devnet code which introduces the concept of
configurable scenarios. This replaces the previous hard coded execution
function.
The intention is that now both the network and the operations to run on
the network can be described in a data structure which is configurable
and composable.
The operating model is to create a network and then ask it to run
scenarios:
```go
network.Run(
runCtx,
scenarios.Scenario{
Name: "all",
Steps: []*scenarios.Step{
&scenarios.Step{Text: "InitSubscriptions", Args: []any{[]requests.SubMethod{requests.Methods.ETHNewHeads}}},
&scenarios.Step{Text: "PingErigonRpc"},
&scenarios.Step{Text: "CheckTxPoolContent", Args: []any{0, 0, 0}},
&scenarios.Step{Text: "SendTxWithDynamicFee", Args: []any{recipientAddress, services.DevAddress, sendValue}},
&scenarios.Step{Text: "AwaitBlocks", Args: []any{2 * time.Second}},
},
})
```
The steps here refer to step handlers which can be defined as follows:
```go
func init() {
scenarios.MustRegisterStepHandlers(
scenarios.StepHandler(GetBalance),
)
}
func GetBalance(ctx context.Context, addr string, blockNum requests.BlockNumber, checkBal uint64) {
...
```
This commit is an initial implementation of the scenario running - which
is working, but will need to be enhanced to make it more usable &
developable.
The current version of the code is working and has been tested with the
dev network, and bor withoutheimdall. There is a multi miner bor
heimdall configuration but this is yet to be tested.
Note that by default the scenario runner picks nodes at random on the
network to send transactions to. this causes the dev network to run very
slowly as it seems to take a long time to include transactions where the
nonce is incremented across nodes. It seems to take a long time for the
nonce to catch up in the transaction pool processing. This is yet to be
investigated.
This branch is intended to allow the devnet to be used for testing
multiple consents types beyond the default clique. It is initially being
used to test Bor consensus for polygon.
It also has the following refactoring:
### 1. Network configuration
The two node arg building functions miningNodeArgs and nonMiningNodeArgs
have been replaced with a configuration struct which is used to
configure:
```go
network := &node.Network{
DataDir: dataDir,
Chain: networkname.DevChainName,
//Chain: networkname.BorDevnetChainName,
Logger: logger,
BasePrivateApiAddr: "localhost:9090",
BaseRPCAddr: "localhost:8545",
Nodes: []node.NetworkNode{
&node.Miner{},
&node.NonMiner{},
},
}
```
and start multiple nodes
```go
network.Start()
```
Network start will create a network of nodes ensuring that all nodes are
configured with non clashing network ports set via command line
arguments on start-up.
### 2. Request Routing
The `RequestRouter` has been updated to take a 'target' rather than
using a static dispatcher which routes to a single node on the network.
Each node in the network has its own request generator so command and
services have more flexibility in request routing and
`ExecuteAllMethods` currently takes the `node.Network` as an argument
and can pick which node (node 0 for the moment) to send requests to.
- Added new requests for sending raw transactions
- Made provisions for other types of transactions generated, including
contracts
- Modified the models and services to accommodate general values
