Missing Dependency 'renvm-gateway'

[wmcclinton]

Hello, I got the error: failed to load source for dependency 'renvm-gateway'

I believe that this repo is a dependency and is missing: https://github.com/renproject/ren-solana

Hey @wmcclinton, can you please explain how to reproduce the issue?

[wmcclinton]

Thanks @jazg, I cloned this repository and tried to build the Dockerfile to an image using my github credentials. It then gave the error: failed to load source for dependency 'renvm-gateway'

Also github.com/renproject/ren-solana doesn't exist and it is being used in the Dockerfile on line 27: ENV GOPRIVATE="github.com/renproject/ren-solana, github.com/renproject/solana-ffi"

@wmcclinton What is your use case? This Dockerfile is designed specifically for Darknode/Lightnode. If you're looking to run chain specific nodes, you can check out /infra/<chain>/Dockerfile

[wmcclinton]

Thanks @jazg I'm trying to add a new asset and chain to the project. I see, so I can run the Test Suite on a chain specific node? Also is there anyway I can set up test Darknode/Lightnode on some sort of local testnet without putting up the 100,000 REN requirement yet?

@wmcclinton Yep, Multichain itself isn't dependent on these components of RenVM, so you shouldn't need to run any of these packages to test your code. The chain-specific packages just need to implement certain interfaces for addresses, gas, and transactions. They can be tested by running your chain node locally (using the Dockerfile you create) and running the corresponding unit tests.

[jazg]

Keep in mind that adding support for your chain in Multichain does not guarantee it will be supported by the Darknodes, it just means it'll be easier for them + speed up the process should they choose to do so (e.g. if there is evidence that there will be volume flowing through this chain).
