.. highlight:: kotlin .. raw:: html API: Testing ============ .. contents:: Flow testing ------------ MockNetwork ^^^^^^^^^^^ Flow testing can be fully automated using a ``MockNetwork`` composed of ``StartedMockNode`` nodes. Each ``StartedMockNode`` behaves like a regular Corda node, but its services are either in-memory or mocked out. A ``MockNetwork`` is created as follows: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin class FlowTests { private lateinit var mockNet: MockNetwork @Before fun setup() { network = MockNetwork(listOf("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package")) } } .. sourcecode:: java public class IOUFlowTests { private MockNetwork network; @Before public void setup() { network = new MockNetwork(ImmutableList.of("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package")); } } The ``MockNetwork`` requires at a minimum a list of packages. Each package is packaged into a CorDapp JAR and installed as a CorDapp on each ``StartedMockNode``. Configuring the ``MockNetwork`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ``MockNetwork`` is configured automatically. You can tweak its configuration using a ``MockNetworkParameters`` object, or by using named paramters in Kotlin: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin val network = MockNetwork( // A list of packages to scan. Any contracts, flows and Corda services within these // packages will be automatically available to any nodes within the mock network cordappPackages = listOf("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package"), // If true then each node will be run in its own thread. This can result in race conditions in your // code if not carefully written, but is more realistic and may help if you have flows in your app that // do long blocking operations. threadPerNode = false, // The notaries to use on the mock network. By default you get one mock notary and that is usually // sufficient. notarySpecs = listOf(MockNetworkNotarySpec(DUMMY_NOTARY_NAME)), // If true then messages will not be routed from sender to receiver until you use the // [MockNetwork.runNetwork] method. This is useful for writing single-threaded unit test code that can // examine the state of the mock network before and after a message is sent, without races and without // the receiving node immediately sending a response. networkSendManuallyPumped = false, // How traffic is allocated in the case where multiple nodes share a single identity, which happens for // notaries in a cluster. You don't normally ever need to change this: it is mostly useful for testing // notary implementations. servicePeerAllocationStrategy = InMemoryMessagingNetwork.ServicePeerAllocationStrategy.Random()) val network2 = MockNetwork( // A list of packages to scan. Any contracts, flows and Corda services within these // packages will be automatically available to any nodes within the mock network listOf("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package"), MockNetworkParameters( // If true then each node will be run in its own thread. This can result in race conditions in your // code if not carefully written, but is more realistic and may help if you have flows in your app that // do long blocking operations. threadPerNode = false, // The notaries to use on the mock network. By default you get one mock notary and that is usually // sufficient. notarySpecs = listOf(MockNetworkNotarySpec(DUMMY_NOTARY_NAME)), // If true then messages will not be routed from sender to receiver until you use the // [MockNetwork.runNetwork] method. This is useful for writing single-threaded unit test code that can // examine the state of the mock network before and after a message is sent, without races and without // the receiving node immediately sending a response. networkSendManuallyPumped = false, // How traffic is allocated in the case where multiple nodes share a single identity, which happens for // notaries in a cluster. You don't normally ever need to change this: it is mostly useful for testing // notary implementations. servicePeerAllocationStrategy = InMemoryMessagingNetwork.ServicePeerAllocationStrategy.Random()) ) .. sourcecode:: java MockNetwork network = MockNetwork( // A list of packages to scan. Any contracts, flows and Corda services within these // packages will be automatically available to any nodes within the mock network ImmutableList.of("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package"), new MockNetworkParameters() // If true then each node will be run in its own thread. This can result in race conditions in // your code if not carefully written, but is more realistic and may help if you have flows in // your app that do long blocking operations. .setThreadPerNode(false) // The notaries to use on the mock network. By default you get one mock notary and that is // usually sufficient. .setNotarySpecs(ImmutableList.of(new MockNetworkNotarySpec(DUMMY_NOTARY_NAME))) // If true then messages will not be routed from sender to receiver until you use the // [MockNetwork.runNetwork] method. This is useful for writing single-threaded unit test code // that can examine the state of the mock network before and after a message is sent, without // races and without the receiving node immediately sending a response. .setNetworkSendManuallyPumped(false) // How traffic is allocated in the case where multiple nodes share a single identity, which // happens for notaries in a cluster. You don't normally ever need to change this: it is mostly // useful for testing notary implementations. .setServicePeerAllocationStrategy(new InMemoryMessagingNetwork.ServicePeerAllocationStrategy.Random())); Adding nodes to the network ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nodes are created on the ``MockNetwork`` using: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin class FlowTests { private lateinit var mockNet: MockNetwork lateinit var nodeA: StartedMockNode lateinit var nodeB: StartedMockNode @Before fun setup() { network = MockNetwork(listOf("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package")) nodeA = network.createPartyNode() // We can optionally give the node a name. nodeB = network.createPartyNode(CordaX500Name("Bank B", "London", "GB")) } } .. sourcecode:: java public class IOUFlowTests { private MockNetwork network; private StartedMockNode a; private StartedMockNode b; @Before public void setup() { network = new MockNetwork(ImmutableList.of("my.cordapp.package", "my.other.cordapp.package")); nodeA = network.createPartyNode(null); // We can optionally give the node a name. nodeB = network.createPartyNode(new CordaX500Name("Bank B", "London", "GB")); } } Running the network ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Regular Corda nodes automatically process received messages. When using a ``MockNetwork`` with ``networkSendManuallyPumped`` set to ``false``, you must manually initiate the processing of received messages. You manually process received messages as follows: * ``StartedMockNode.pumpReceive`` to process a single message from the node's queue * ``MockNetwork.runNetwork`` to process all the messages in every node's queue. This may generate additional messages that must in turn be processed * ``network.runNetwork(-1)`` (the default in Kotlin) will exchange messages until there are no further messages to process Running flows ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A ``StartedMockNode`` starts a flow using the ``StartedNodeServices.startFlow`` method. This method returns a future representing the output of running the flow. .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin val signedTransactionFuture = nodeA.services.startFlow(IOUFlow(iouValue = 99, otherParty = nodeBParty)) .. sourcecode:: java CordaFuture future = startFlow(a.getServices(), new ExampleFlow.Initiator(1, nodeBParty)); The network must then be manually run before retrieving the future's value: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin val signedTransactionFuture = nodeA.services.startFlow(IOUFlow(iouValue = 99, otherParty = nodeBParty)) // Assuming network.networkSendManuallyPumped == false. network.runNetwork() val signedTransaction = future.get(); .. sourcecode:: java CordaFuture future = startFlow(a.getServices(), new ExampleFlow.Initiator(1, nodeBParty)); // Assuming network.networkSendManuallyPumped == false. network.runNetwork(); SignedTransaction signedTransaction = future.get(); Accessing ``StartedMockNode`` internals ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Creating a node database transaction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whenever you query a node's database (e.g. to extract information from the node's vault), you must wrap the query in a database transaction, as follows: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin nodeA.database.transaction { // Perform query here. } .. sourcecode:: java node.getDatabase().transaction(tx -> { // Perform query here. } Querying a node's vault ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recorded states can be retrieved from the vault of a ``StartedMockNode`` using: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin nodeA.database.transaction { val myStates = nodeA.services.vaultService.queryBy().states } .. sourcecode:: java node.getDatabase().transaction(tx -> { List myStates = node.getServices().getVaultService().queryBy(MyStateType.class).getStates(); } This allows you to check whether a given state has (or has not) been stored, and whether it has the correct attributes. Examining a node's transaction storage ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recorded transactions can be retrieved from the transaction storage of a ``StartedMockNode`` using: .. container:: codeset .. sourcecode:: kotlin val transaction = nodeA.services.validatedTransactions.getTransaction(transaction.id) .. sourcecode:: java SignedTransaction transaction = nodeA.getServices().getValidatedTransactions().getTransaction(transaction.getId()) This allows you to check whether a given transaction has (or has not) been stored, and whether it has the correct attributes. This allows you to check whether a given state has (or has not) been stored, and whether it has the correct attributes. Further examples ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * See the flow testing tutorial :doc:`here ` * See the oracle tutorial :doc:`here ` for information on testing ``@CordaService`` classes * Further examples are available in the Example CorDapp in `Java `_ and `Kotlin `_ Contract testing ---------------- The Corda test framework includes the ability to create a test ledger by calling the ``ledger`` function on an implementation of the ``ServiceHub`` interface. MockServices ^^^^^^^^^^^^ A mock implementation of ``ServiceHub`` is provided in ``MockServices``. This is a minimal ``ServiceHub`` that suffices to test contract logic. It has the ability to insert states into the vault, query the vault, and construct and check transactions. .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 11 :end-before: DOCEND 11 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 11 :end-before: DOCEND 11 :dedent: 4 Alternatively, there is a helper constructor which just accepts a list of ``TestIdentity``. The first identity provided is the identity of the node whose ``ServiceHub`` is being mocked, and any subsequent identities are identities that the node knows about. Only the calling package is scanned for cordapps and a test ``IdentityService`` is created for you, using all the given identities. .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 12 :end-before: DOCEND 12 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 12 :end-before: DOCEND 12 :dedent: 4 Writing tests using a test ledger ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The ``ServiceHub.ledger`` extension function allows you to create a test ledger. Within the ledger wrapper you can create transactions using the ``transaction`` function. Within a transaction you can define the ``input`` and ``output`` states for the transaction, alongside any commands that are being executed, the ``timeWindow`` in which the transaction has been executed, and any ``attachments``, as shown in this example test: .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 13 :end-before: DOCEND 13 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 13 :end-before: DOCEND 13 :dedent: 4 Once all the transaction components have been specified, you can run ``verifies()`` to check that the given transaction is valid. Checking for failure states ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to test for failures, you can use the ``failsWith`` method, or in Kotlin the ``fails with`` helper method, which assert that the transaction fails with a specific error. If you just want to assert that the transaction has failed without verifying the message, there is also a ``fails`` method. .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 4 :end-before: DOCEND 4 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 4 :end-before: DOCEND 4 :dedent: 4 .. note:: The transaction DSL forces the last line of the test to be either a ``verifies`` or ``fails with`` statement. Testing multiple scenarios at once ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Within a single transaction block, you can assert several times that the transaction constructed so far either passes or fails verification. For example, you could test that a contract fails to verify because it has no output states, and then add the relevant output state and check that the contract verifies successfully, as in the following example: .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 5 :end-before: DOCEND 5 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 5 :end-before: DOCEND 5 :dedent: 4 You can also use the ``tweak`` function to create a locally scoped transaction that you can make changes to and then return to the original, unmodified transaction. As in the following example: .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 7 :end-before: DOCEND 7 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 7 :end-before: DOCEND 7 :dedent: 4 Chaining transactions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following example shows that within a ``ledger``, you can create more than one ``transaction`` in order to test chains of transactions. In addition to ``transaction``, ``unverifiedTransaction`` can be used, as in the example below, to create transactions on the ledger without verifying them, for pre-populating the ledger with existing data. When chaining transactions, it is important to note that even though a ``transaction`` ``verifies`` successfully, the overall ledger may not be valid. This can be verified separately by placing a ``verifies`` or ``fails`` statement within the ``ledger`` block. .. container:: codeset .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/kotlin/net/corda/docs/tutorial/testdsl/TutorialTestDSL.kt :language: kotlin :start-after: DOCSTART 9 :end-before: DOCEND 9 :dedent: 4 .. literalinclude:: ../../docs/source/example-code/src/test/java/net/corda/docs/java/tutorial/testdsl/CommercialPaperTest.java :language: java :start-after: DOCSTART 9 :end-before: DOCEND 9 :dedent: 4 Further examples ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * See the flow testing tutorial :doc:`here ` * Further examples are available in the Example CorDapp in `Java `_ and `Kotlin `_
