FIO LocalNet Release Notes

This document details the process of creating, deploying and testing FIO on localnet as if it were a release. This process may be used as a final test for a major change, i.e. FIP, delivery before merge to Develop.

LocalNet/FIP Build, Deploy and Test Process

1. Review the Master Release Plan at Master Release Plan and identify the current MainNet release branches. For example, the 3.3.0 Release has the following repos/branches:

   1. fio - release/3.3.x-dev

   2. fio.contracts - release/2.7.x

   3. fio.test - release/2.7.x_3.3.x

   4. fio.devtools - release/2.7.x_3.3.x

   5. fiosdk_typescript - release/1.6.x

2. On the server, clone and build a develop version of FIO core and the contracts

   1. Clone the FIO Core branches and checkout each repo to the develop branch.

      1. fio - develop

      2. fio.contracts - develop

      3. fio.devtools - develop

   2. Build and install FIO

      1. cd fio/scripts

      2. Execute ./fio_build.sh

      3. Execute ./fio_install.sh

   3. Build the contracts

      1. cd fio.contracts

      2. Execute ./start.sh <FIO Version>

         1. Local Startup (1)

         2. Update/Build Contracts (2)

   4. Copy this version of the fio.contracts to fio.contracts-<branch name>

   5. To perform a smoketest against the develop version;

      1. Start up the chain (see step 3c) and then run fio.test develop test suite (see step 5).

      2. Clean the chain of runtime artifacts

         1. cd fio.devtools

         2. execute ./start.sh <FIO Version>

            1. Local Startup (1)

            2. Nuke All (3)

            3. Continue - Yes (1)

3. On the server, update the repos cloned above to test the functionality that will be in the release.

   1. To build, deploy and test the FIP-41, FIP-17a, FIP-1 release, the FIO core repos were checked out as follows:

      1. fio.contracts - release/2.7.x

      2. fio.devtools - release/2.7.x_3.3.x

   2. Build the contracts

      1. cd fio.contracts

      2. Execute ./start.sh <FIO Version> and specify the following responses to the runtime options

         1. Local Startup (1)

         2. Update/Build Contracts (2)

   3. Start the Local Chain

      1. Execute ./start.sh <FIO Version> and specify the following responses to the runtime options

         1. Local Startup (1)

         2. Local Blockchain (1)

4. On the server, execute the Release Script commands pointing to the contracts built in steps 2c and 2d

5. On the client clone and checkout the repo, fio.test. to the develop branch

   1. fio.test - develop

6. Update the fio.test config.js to point to the server

   1. cd fio.test

   2. vi config.js

   3. Edit the test url to point to the server configured and running above

      1. const TESTURL = 'http://<server ip>:8889'

      2. This should be the only ‘active’ TESTURL

   4. Execute the command ‘npm test’

      1. Edit the index.js to run a custom set of tests

   5. Document the results

7. To test against and individual FIP branche, identify the branch(es) via the developer, the FIO github project or via the project development spec (reference Release Content above) and checkout the branches. For example, to test the FIP-41 updates, fio.contracts, fio.devtools repos were updated. Checkout the branches as follows:

   1. fio.contracts - feature/FIP-41-develop-03012022

   2. fio.devtools - feature/FIP-41-develop-03012022
