End-to-end Tests

Structure

e2e Package

The e2e package defines an integration testing suite used for full end-to-end testing functionality. This package is decoupled from depending on the Osmosis codebase. It initializes the chains for testing via Docker files. As a result, the test suite may provide the desired Osmosis version to Docker containers during the initialization. This design allows for the opportunity of testing chain upgrades in the future by providing an older Osmosis version to the container, performing the chain upgrade, and running the latest test suite. When testing a normal upgrade, the e2e test suite submits an upgrade proposal at an upgrade height, ensures the upgrade happens at the desired height, and then checks that operations that worked before still work as intended. If testing a fork, the test suite instead starts the chain a few blocks before the set fork height and ensures the chain continues after the fork triggers the upgrade. Note that a regular upgrade and a fork upgrade are mutually exclusive.

The file e2e_setup_test.go defines the testing suite and contains the core bootstrapping logic that creates a testing environment via Docker containers. A testing network is created dynamically with 2 test validators.

The file e2e_test.go contains the actual end-to-end integration tests that utilize the testing suite.

Currently, there is a single IBC test in e2e_test.go.

Additionally, there is an ability to disable certain components of the e2e suite. This can be done by setting the environment variables. See "Environment variables" section below for more details.

How It Works

Conceptually, we can split the e2e setup into 2 parts:

  1. Chain Initialization

    The chain can either be initialized off of the current branch, or off the prior mainnet release and then upgraded to the current branch.

    If current, we run chain initialization off of the current Git branch by calling chain.Init(...) method in the configurer/current.go.

    If with the upgrade, the same chain.Init(...) function is run inside a Docker container of the previous Osmosis version, inside configurer/upgrade.go. This is needed to initialize chain configs and the genesis of the previous version that we are upgrading from. Note, we use the alpine image of the previous version, as functionality such as copying mnemonics across containers in unavailable in the stripped down images.

    The decision of what configuration type to use is decided by the Configurer. This is an interface that has CurrentBranchConfigurer and UpgradeConfigurer implementations. There is also a BaseConfigurer which is shared by the concrete implementations. However, the user of the configurer package does not need to know about this detail.

    When the desired configurer is created, the caller may configure the chain in the desired way as follows:

    conf, _ := configurer.New(..., < isIBCEnabled bool >, < isUpgradeEnabled bool >)

conf.ConfigureChains()

    The caller (e2e setup logic), does not need to be concerned about what type of configurations is happening in the background. The appropriate logic is selected depending on what the values of the arguments to configurer.New(...) are.

    CurrentBranchConfigurer configures chains from current Git branch. UpgradeConfigurer takes older osmosis versions and configures chains from them.

    The configurer constructor is using a factory design pattern to decide on what kind of configurer to return. Factory design pattern is used to decouple the client from the initialization details of the configurer. More on this can be found here

    The rules for deciding on the configurer type are as follows:

    • If only isIBCEnabled, we want to have 2 chains initialized at the current branch version of Osmosis codebase

    • If only isUpgradeEnabled, that's invalid (we can decouple upgrade testing from IBC in a future PR)

    • If both isIBCEnabled and isUpgradeEnabled, we want 2 chain with IBC initialized at the previous Osmosis version

    • If none are true, we only need one chain at the current branch version of the Osmosis code

  2. Setting up e2e components

    Currently, there exist the following components:

    • Base logic
      • This is the most basic type of setup where a single chain is created
      • It simply spins up the desired number of validators on a chain.
    • IBC testing
      • 2 chains are created connected by Hermes relayer
      • Upgrade Testing
      • 2 chains of the older Osmosis version are created, and connected by Hermes relayer
    • Upgrade testing
      • CLI commands are run to create an upgrade proposal and approve it
      • Old version containers are stopped and the upgrade binary is added
      • Current branch Osmosis version is spun up to continue with testing
    • State Sync Testing (WIP)
      • An additional full node is created after a chain has started.
      • This node is meant to state sync with the rest of the system.

    This is done in configurer/setup.go via function decorator design pattern where we chain the desired setup components during configurer creation. Example

initialization Package

The initialization package introduces the logic necessary for initializing a chain by creating a genesis file and all required configuration files such as the app.toml. In addition, it starts chain initialization. This package directly depends on the Osmosis codebase.

In addition, there is a Dockerfile init-e2e.Dockerfile. When executed, its container produces all files necessary for starting up a new chain. These resulting files can be mounted on a volume and propagated to our production osmosis container to start the osmosisd service.

containers Package

Introduces an abstraction necessary for creating and managing Docker containers. Currently, validator containers are created with a name of the corresponding validator struct that is initialized in the initialization/chain package.

Running From Current Branch

To build chain initialization image

Please refer to tests/e2e/initialization/README.md

To build the debug Osmosis image

    make e2e-docker-build-debug

Environment variables

Some tests take a long time to run. Sometimes, we would like to disable them locally or in CI. The following are the environment variables to disable certain components of e2e testing.

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_SKIP_UPGRADE - when true, skips the upgrade tests. If OSMOSIS_E2E_SKIP_IBC is true, this must also be set to true because upgrade tests require IBC logic.

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_SKIP_IBC - when true, skips the IBC tests.

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_SKIP_STATE_SYNC - when true, skips the state sync tests.

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_SKIP_CLEANUP - when true, avoids cleaning up the e2e Docker containers.

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_FORK_HEIGHT - when the above "IS_FORK" env variable is set to true, this is the string of the height in which the network should fork. This should match the ForkHeight set in constants.go

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_UPGRADE_VERSION - string of what version will be upgraded to (for example, "v10")

  • OSMOSIS_E2E_DEBUG_LOG - when true, prints debug logs from executing CLI commands via Docker containers. Set to true in CI by default.

VS Code Debug Configuration

This debug configuration helps to run e2e tests locally and skip the desired tests.

Common Problems

Please note that if the tests are stopped mid-way, the e2e framework might fail to start again due to duplicated containers. Make sure that containers are removed before running the tests again: docker containers rm -f $(docker containers ls -a -q).

Additionally, Docker networks do not get auto-removed. Therefore, you can manually remove them by running docker network prune.

Good to know things about e2e

This section contains common "gotchas" that is sometimes very good to know when working with e2e.

  1. Order of executions of tests in e2e_test.go is alphabetic.

    If one test fails and breaks the chain, all subsequent tests might also fail. It is important to know about an order, because sometimes you might see a failed test in e2e_test.go, however, in reality, the core reason of failure lays in something else.

    Example: you see TestAddToExistingLock failing. It might be because of something failing in test, of course. However, you need to keep in mind that something potentially broke during the e2e setup and because of that, lexicographically first test (currently TestAddToExistingLock) fails.

    A way to deal with this problem: disable upgrade logic by setting OSMOSIS_E2E_SKIP_UPGRADE to false and see how test performs.

  2. Node update failure before running e2e_test.go

    Nodes can completely crash when upgrading for many reasons. To detect that, we check the node's Status as soon as the upgrade is complete. An active node should return a response and no other errors. If not, all test would not be ran.

    To fix that, check the docker container and see if you node is working. Or remove all related container then rerun e2e test

  3. Transaction fees.

    Consensus min fee is set to "0.0025". This is how much is charged for 1 unit of gas. By default, we specify the gas limit of 40000. Therefore, each transaction should take fee = 0.0025 uosmo / gas * 400000 gas = 1000 fee token. The fee denom is set in tests/e2e/initialization/config.goby the value ofE2EFeeToken`. See "Hermes Relayer - Consensus Min Fee" section for the relevant relayer configuration.

Hermes Relayer

The configuration is built using the script in tests/e2e/scripts/hermes_bootstrap.sh

Repository: https://github.dev/informalsystems/hermes

Consensus Min Fee

We set the following parameters Hermes configs to enable the consensus min fee in Osmosis:

- `gas_price` - Specifies the price per gas used of the fee to submit a transaction and
the denomination of the fee. The specified gas price should always be greater or equal to the `min-gas-price`
configured on the chain. This is to ensure that at least some minimal price is 
paid for each unit of gas per transaction.
In Osmosis, we set consensus min fee = .0025 uosmo / gas * 400000 gas = 1000
See ConsensusMinFee in x/txfees/types/constants.go

- `default_gas` - the gas amount to use when simulation fails.

Debugging

This section contains information about debugging osmosis's e2e tests.

  1. Executing commands on docker containers

    Currently, e2e emits a lot of useful logs into standard output. However, sometimes that might not be enough. In this case, it is a good practice to run some commands inside docker containers and inspect outputs. In order to do that, run:

        docker exec < container name/id > < command >

    This will execute the specified command and print the response to standard output. Example: docker exec osmo-test-a-node-prune-nothing-snapshot osmosisd status will print a node status of osmo-test-a-node-prune-nothing-snapshot container.

  2. Viewing docker container logs

    Another useful thing to do when debugging some low level error is inspecing container's logs. This can be done by running:

        docker logs < container name/id >

    Example: docker logs osmo-test-a-node-prune-nothing-snapshot will print logs emitted by container osmo-test-a-node-prune-nothing-snapshot to your standard output.

  3. Viewing docker container logs when run osmosis's e2e tests in CI

    When a failure occurs in CI, we have persists these log files of all container running as artifacts logs.tgz.
