Parachains Integration Tests ✅
Since the arrival of XCMP, communication between different consensus systems became a reality in the Polkadot's ecosystem. Parachains Integration Tests is a tool that was created with the ambtion of easing testing interactions between Substrate based blockchains that implement XCMP.
This tool allows you to develop tests radipdly describing them in a YAML file. Behind the scenes, the YAML files are converted to Mocha tests with Chai assertions.
It can work alongside with Polkadot Launch, or you can run your tests against the testnet of your preference.
Under the ./test
folder, this repository contains integration tests for the Common Good Assets Parachains (Statemine & Statemint). You can take them as examples of how to write tests with this tool.
Set Up
yarn
How to use
The tool implements a simple CLI.
yarn start -m <mode> -c <path> -t <path> -to <millisecons> -el <milliseconds> -qd <milliseconds>
-m
,--mode
:polkadot-launch-test
: deploy a Polkadot Launch testnet and run your tests against ittest
: only run your testspolkadot-launch
: only deploy a Polkadot Launch network
-c
,--config
: path to the Polkadot Launch config file. Option only valid forpolkadot-launch-test
andpolkadot-launch
methods-t
,--test
: path to the tests folder or to a single test yaml file. All files under the path with ayml
extension will be run. To choose the order, is necessary to add an index in front of the file name. E.g:0_my_test.yml
,1_my_other_test
-to
,--timeout
: overrides the default Mocha tests timeout set to200000
-el
,--event-listener-timeout
: overrides the default event listener timeout set to40000
-ad
,--action-delay
: delay before state queries, rpc calls and extrinsics. Overrides the default delay set to40000
. Some delay is necessary to make sure the state is already updated. In the case of extrisics, it is also necessary until ID hashes are available in XCM v3. Without an indentifier, it is not posible to distinguish what XCM message event was triggered as a result of a specific extrinsic from another chain/context. For this reason, it is necessary to add a big delay between XCM messages, to avoid interferences from other unrelated events.
Examples:
- Run tests using Polkadot Launch as testnet
yarn start -m polkadot-launch-test -t <tests_path> -c <polkadot_launch_config_path>
- Run tests using other testnet
yarn start -m test -t <tests_path>
- Only deploy a testnet with Polkadot Launch
yarn start -m polkadot-launch -c <polkadot_launch_config_path>
YAML Schema
It is formed by two main sections: settings
and tests
.
settings:
# Declaration of the chains the tests should connect to
chains: # { [key: string]: Chain }
# Arbitrary declaration of constants to be used across the tets
variables: # { [key: string]: any }
# Calls that want to be encoded to be used in the tests
decodedCalls: # { [key: string]: Call }
tests: # Describe[]
export interface TestsConfig {
settings: Settings;
tests: Describe[];
}
Settings
chains
: connection values for all the different chains we want to connect to. DefiningwsPort
should be enough unless you want to override the defaultws
URL (ws://localhost).variables
: section that allows you to define your own variables following the schema that better suits your tests logic.decodedCalls
: declaration of the different calls you want to calculate their econded call hex value. Each result is stored in a variable that will become available in the rest of the file ONLY after its declaration. The way to access those variables is appending a$
symbol to the defineddecodedCalls
key. For instance, in the following example, the encoded call result formy_call_id
will be accesible from$my_call_id
Example:
settings: # Settings
chains:
my_chain_id: &relay_chain # a Relay Chain, for instance
wsPort: 9966
ws: ws://my-custom-url
my_other_chain_id: ¶chain # a Parachain, for instance
wsPort: 9988
# It is also possible to add the variables that you consider
# are useful and related to the chain
for_example_paraId: ¶Id 2000
variables:
my_variable: &my_variable 0x0011
my_arbitrary_schema: &my_schema
object:
a: 1
b: 2
decodedCalls:
my_call_id:
chain: *relay_chain
pallet: system
call: remark
args: [ *my_variable ]
interface Settings {
chains: { [key: string]: Chain };
variables: { [key: string]: any };
decodedCalls: { [key: string]: Call };
}
interface Chain {
wsPort: number;
ws?: string; // if 'undefined', it fallback to the default value -> ws://localhost
}
interface Call {
chain: Chain;
sudo?: boolean; // if 'true', the call will be wrapped with 'sudo.sudo()'
pallet: string;
call: string;
args: any[];
}
Tests
Tests are formed by an array of Describe interfaces. Tests can be nested through the describes
attribute.
Example:
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
before: # Before[]
- name: 'before' description to console log
actions: [...]
beforeEach: ... # BeforeEach[]
after: ... # After[]
afterEach: ... # AfterEach[]
its: # It[]
- name: It should do something
actions: [...]
describes: # Describe[]
- name: My nested Describe
- name: My other Describe
its: [...] # It[]
Interfaces:
interface Describe {
name: string;
before?: Before[];
beforeEach?: BeforeEach[];
after?: After[];
afterEach?: AfterEach[];
its: It[];
describes?: Describe[]; // It is possible to nest Describes
}
Hook & It
Both have a similar interface. They are formed by a name
for descriptions and by the actions
attribute.
The available hooks are: before
, beforeEach
, after
and afterEach
Example:
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
before: # Before[]
- name: 'before' description to console log
actions: [...] # Action[]
- name: another description for a 'before'
actions: [...] # Action[]
its: # It[]
- name: It should do something
actions: [...] # Action[]
- name: It should not do something
actions: [...] # Action[]
...
Interfaces:
type Hook = Before | BeforeEach | After | AfterEach
// Same for BeforeEach, After, AfterEach
interface Before {
name?: string; // optional description
actions: Action[];
}
interface It {
name: string;
actions: Action[];
}
Action
There are five available actions types that can be performed inside a Hook or an It: extrinsics
, queries
, rpcs
, asserts
and customs
. The order they are executed depends on the order they are defined in the Action array. Since actions
is an array, multiple actions of the same type can be declared.
Example:
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
before: # Before[]
- name: 'before' description to console log
actions: # Action[]
- extrinsics: [...] # Extrinsic[]
- queries: [...] # Query[]
- ...
its: # It[]
- name: It should do something
actions: # Action[]
- extrinsics: [...] # Extrinsic[]
- rpcs: [...] # RPC[]
- asserts: [...] # Assert[]
- customs: [...] # Custom[]
- queries: [...] # Query []
- asserts: [...] # Assert[]
...
Interfaces:
export type ExtrinsicAction = {
extrinsics: Extrinsic[];
}
export type QueryAction = {
queries: { [key: string]: Query };
}
export type RpcAction = {
rpcs: { [key: string]: Rpc };
}
export type AsserAction = {
asserts: { [key: string]: AssertOrCustom };
}
export type CustomAction = {
customs: Custom[];
}
export type Action = ExtrinsicAction | QueryAction | AsserAction | RpcAction | CustomAction;
Extrinsic
Extends the Call interface adding two new attributes: signer
(indispensable) and events
(optional). A Extrinsic by itself will not perform any chai assertion. Assertions are build based on the events
that the extrinsic is expetected to trigger. Each event defined under the events
attribute will build and perform its corresponding chai assertion.
Example:
settings:
chains:
relay_chain: &relay_chain
wsPort: 9900
parachain: ¶chain
wsPort: 9910
paraId: &id 2000
variables:
common:
require_weight_at_most: &weight_at_most 1000000000
relay_chain:
signer: &signer //Alice
parachain_destination: &dest { v1: { 0, interior: { x1: { parachain: *id }}}}
decodedCalls:
force_create_asset:
chain: *parachain
pallet: assets
call: forceCreate
args: [
1, # assetId
{ # owner
Id: HNZata7iMYWmk5RvZRTiAsSDhV8366zq2YGb3tLH5Upf74F
},
true, # isSufficient

]
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
its: # It[]
- name: It should do something
actions: # Action[]

originType: Superuser,

call: $force_create_asset # enconded call hex
}
}
]
}
]
events: [...]
...
Interfaces:
interface Call {
chain: Chain;
sudo?: boolean; // if 'true', the call will be wrapped with 'sudo.sudo()'
pallet: string;
call: string;
args: any[];
}
interface Extrinsic extends Call {
signer: string;
delay?: number; // Overrides the default action delay
events: Event[];
}
Event
If the chain
attribute is not defined, it means the event is expected to happpen in the same chain context where the extrinsic was dispatched and as a result of it. Otherwise, the chain
attribute referring to another context must be defined.
If the event is expected to happen in the same chain context, but as a result of another extrinsic in a remote context, remote
attribute must be set to true
.
Default event listener timeout can be overriden by the timeout
attribute.

wsPort: 9900
parachain: ¶chain

isComplete?: boolean; // only for 'XcmV2TraitsOutcome' type
isIncomplete?: boolean; // only for 'XcmV2TraitsOutcome' type
isError?: boolean; // only for 'XcmV2TraitsOutcome' type
}
Query
Query the chain state. The result of the query will be stored in a new variable based on the key name of the Query. The variable naming follows the same format of decodedCalls
. Therefore, for the followig example, the result of the query is stored in: $balance_sender_before
. The variable becomes available in the rest of the file ONLY after its declaration.
Example:
settings:
chains:
relay_chain: &relay_chain
wsPort: 9900
variables:
...
encodedCalls:
...
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
before: # Before[]
- name: Get the balance of an account
actions: # Action[]
- queries: # { key: Query }
balance_sender_before:
chain: *relay_chain
pallet: system
call: account
args: [
HNZata7iMYWmk5RvZRTiAsSDhV8366zq2YGb3tLH5Upf74F
]
its: [...]
Interfaces:
interface Query {
chain: Chain;
delay?: number;
pallet: string;
call: string;
args: any[];
}
Rpc
RPC call to the chain's node. Same approach as Query. For the following example, the result of the RPC call will be stored in $block
.
Example:
settings:
chains:
relay_chain: &relay_chain
wsPort: 9900
variables:
...
encodedCalls:
...
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
before: # Before[]
- name: Get the last block
actions: # Action[]
- rpcs: # { key: Rpc }
block:
chain: *relay_chain
method: chain
call: getBlock
args: []
its: [...]
Interfaces:
interface Rpc {
chain: Chain;
delay?: number;
method: string;
call: string;
args: any[];
}
Assert
Unlike Query and Rpc where their keys can be arbitrarily chosen to generate a new variable, AssertOrCustom keys can only be set to two different values: equal
and custom
.
equal
: it has a single attributeargs
which is expecting an array of two values to bedeepEqual()
compared.custom
: assertion cases can be endless, therefore they are diffucult to standarize.custom
solves that issue providing thepath
argument. Its value should point to a file where the desired asserts are performed based on the providedargs
. It can not be any kind of file though, and it should export a specific function signature. To learn more about this files see Custom.
Example:
settings:
chains:
relay_chain: &relay_chain
wsPort: 9900
variables:
relay_chain:
sender: &sender HNZata7iMYWmk5RvZRTiAsSDhV8366zq2YGb3tLH5Upf74F

Interfaces:

}
interface Custom {

}
type AssertOrCustom = Assert | Custom;
Custom
This Action type enables the possibility of referring to your own files to perform those actions that a constrained YAML schema can not provide. The file must export a very specific function signature that the tool is expecting to import: async (context, ...args)
context
: corresponds to the test'sthis
object. All user created variables (inencodedCalls
,queries
andrpcs
) are stored and accessible from thethis.variables
key. In a similar way,context
can be use to stored new variables that will become available in the rest of the tests.args
: the arguments used as input for your custom file function.
The following example shows how to use a custom
action to perform an assertion, but there are not limitations about what to achive.
Example:
settings:
...
tests: # Describe[]
- name: My Describe
before: # I declare $coin_symbol
its: # It[]
...
- name: My custom action should do something
actions: # Action[]
custom: # Custom[]
- path: ./queryExternalOracle.ts
args: {
url: https://www.my-oracle.com/price/
}
asserts:
equal: [$dot_price, 30]
// queryExternalOracle.ts
const myCustomFunction = async (context, ...args) => {
const { url } = args[0]
let coinSymbol = context.variables.$coin_symbol
let price = myApi.get(url + coinSymbol)
// Save the result in context (this) variables
// to make it available for the rests of the tests
context.variables['$dot_price'] = price
}
export default myCustomFunction
Interfaces:
interface Custom {
path: string;
args: any;
}
