• npm
• Go
• Set GOPATH environment variable
• dep

nix-shell -p nodejs-8_x go dep jq 

You wold also need to add this to ~/.profile:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

We now provide a super simple way to run the test-suite. It only depends on docker!

make install
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
sleep 5
make build-purs
make deploy-and-test
docker-compose down

If you want to run each step manually, you can do something like but note that this currently deploys the contracts twice

make install
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d cliquebait
make deploy-contracts
make write-plasma-toml
sleep 5
docker-compose up -d plasma
make build-purs
make deploy-and-test
docker-compose down

1. Install original sources of plasma-mvp-sidechain and switch to our custom branch as follow:

go get github.com/FourthState/plasma-mvp-sidechain

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/FourthState/plasma-mvp-sidechain

git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin git@github.com:f-o-a-m/plasma-mvp-sidechain.git

git fetch --all
git checkout http-server

dep ensure -vendor-only

2. Install plasmad and plasmacli

cd server/plasmad
go install ./...

cd client/plasmacli
go install ./...

1. Run plasmad init should create .plasmad rooted in $HOME. Inside you should find a config/plasma.toml file. Open that file to add the address of the PlasmaMVP contract to ethereum_plasma_contract_address. To do that, you need to have already deployed the PlasmaMVP contract as described in compile contracts.
2. To start the node, run plasmad start.
3. To start the server, run plasmacli rest-server. This should spin up the server on 127.0.0.1:1317.

> npm install

> make build-purs

> make generate-genesis

You can then launch cliquebait with this json file using

>  docker run  -it -p 8545:8545  -v `pwd`/cliquebait-generated.json:/cliquebait/cliquebait.json foamspace/cliquebait:latest

> make compile-contracts

make deploy-contracts

Make sure you have the tendermint node up

> PLASMA_ADDRESS=<whatever-the-address-is> make test-plasma

PLASMA_ADDRESS is visible after running plasmad start. In following example it is 0xe545eaf693277ead76f5d9b4665291b0ac38853c:

plasmad start
I[2046-04-02|14:05:54.360] Starting ABCI with Tendermint                module=main
I[2046-04-02|14:05:54.388] binding to contract address 0xe545eaf693277ead76f5d9b4665291b0ac38853c module=main

...

You can generate a plasma.toml config file by running make write-plasma-toml. If you would like to create a config for an Operator, set IS_OPERATOR=true OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY=<whatever-it-is> make write-plasma-toml.

We are still trying to figure out how to automate config/setup so that it's the same everywhere (test config vs $HOME/.plasmad/config/plasma.toml etc). Until that's done, you should check this warnings list/ update it with new warnings when you find them.

1. When running make plasma-test you need to supply the root chain plasma contract with environment variable PLASMA_ADDRESS.
2. When running make plasma-test you need to make sure that the FINALIZED_PERIOD environment variable is the same as what's listed under ethereum_finality in the plasma.toml file. Otherwise you will not be able to pass the include deposit test.
3. This part is confusing https://www.learnplasma.org/en/learn/mvp.html#confirmation-signatures
