PRs are welcome! Please see the open issues and comment if interested, or submit a PR for review.

All code submitted should be thoroughly commented and tested where applicable.

Testing

Contracts are tested via clarinet and typescript.

To test the contract using clarinet, first install the tool to make it available on your system.

Several commands are available to help with testing via npm:

• to run the prepare script: npm run clarinet:prepare
• to run all tests: npm test, npm run test, npm run clarinet:test
• to run individual tests: npm run test:auth npm run test:core npm run test:token
• to run specific clarinet functions npm run clarinet:check npm run clarinet:codecov npm run console, npm run clarinet:console

A bash script is provided to prepare the tests as part of clarinet:prepare, and executes the following steps:

1. copies all contract files from ./contracts to ./contracts/clarinet
2. modifies address used in impl-trait by replacing it with a different address. e.g. (impl-trait 'SP3FBR2AGK5H9QBDH3EEN6DF8EK8JY7RX8QJ5SVTE.sip-10-ft-standard.ft-trait) is converted to: (impl-trait 'ST1HTBVD3JG9C05J7HBJTHGR0GGW7KXW28M5JS8QE.sip-10-ft-standard.ft-trait)
3. appends code stored in ./contracts/test_addons at the end of contract file with the same name e.g. ./contracts/test_addons/citycoin-core-v1.clar is added to ./contracts/citycoin-core-v1.clar

Note: clarinet:test, clarinet:check, and clarinet:console automatically execute clarinet:prepare.
