The different kinds of operations ("transactions") are tested individually with test handlers.
description: string -- Optional description of test case, purely for debugging purposes.
Tests should use the directory name of the test case as identifier, not the description.
bls_setting: int -- see general test-format spec.
An SSZ-snappy encoded BeaconState
, the state before applying the operation.
An SSZ-snappy encoded operation object, e.g. a ProposerSlashing
, or Deposit
.
An SSZ-snappy encoded BeaconState
, the state after applying the operation. No value if operation processing is aborted.
A handler of the operations
test-runner should process these cases,
calling the corresponding processing implementation.
This excludes the other parts of the block-transition.
Operations:
operation-name |
operation-object |
input name |
processing call |
---|---|---|---|
attestation |
Attestation |
attestation |
process_attestation(state, attestation) |
attester_slashing |
AttesterSlashing |
attester_slashing |
process_attester_slashing(state, attester_slashing) |
block_header |
BeaconBlock |
block |
process_block_header(state, block) |
deposit |
Deposit |
deposit |
process_deposit(state, deposit) |
proposer_slashing |
ProposerSlashing |
proposer_slashing |
process_proposer_slashing(state, proposer_slashing) |
voluntary_exit |
SignedVoluntaryExit |
voluntary_exit |
process_voluntary_exit(state, voluntary_exit) |
sync_aggregate |
SyncAggregate |
sync_aggregate |
process_sync_aggregate(state, sync_aggregate) (new in Altair) |
execution_payload |
ExecutionPayload |
execution_payload |
process_execution_payload(state, execution_payload) (new in Bellatrix) |
Note that block_header
is not strictly an operation (and is a full Block
), but processed in the same manner, and hence included here.
The execution_payload
processing normally requires a verify_execution_state_transition(execution_payload)
,
a responsibility of an (external) execution engine.
During testing this execution is mocked, an execution.yml
is provided instead:
a dict containing an execution_valid
boolean field with the verification result.
The resulting state should match the expected post
state, or if the post
state is left blank,
the handler should reject the input operation as invalid.
