Local Interchain Rust Example

Learn how to seamlessly integrate Rust CosmWasm contracts into your GitHub workflow. Follow our step-by-step guide to set up your project, configure chain parameters, write tests, and automate.

Step-by-Step Guide to Running Rust Cosm Wasm Contracts in GitHub Workflow

Prerequisites:

  1. Make sure you have Rust and CosmWasm contract development environment set up on your local machine.

  2. Create a GitHub repository where you want to host your Rust CosmWasm contract project.

Step 1: Set Up Your Project

  • Clone or create a new GitHub repository for your Rust CosmWasm contract project.

Step 2: Organize Your Project

  • Inside your project, create a source folder. This folder will contain your standard CosmWasm contract with messages (e.g., increment and reset).

Step 3: Create an Interchange Test Folder

  • Within your project, create an interchain-test folder. This folder will be used to set up tests for your contract.

Step 4: Define Chain Configuration

  • Determine the configuration you want for your blockchain. Define the necessary configuration settings, such as the chain parameters, and consider any startup commands required.

Step 5: Use Environment Variables

  • Abstract away some of the configuration requirements into environment variables. This allows you to specify different configurations for different chains without much hassle.

Step 6: Configure Relayer and Server (Optional)

  • If needed, configure the relayer and server settings for your project. This step may not be necessary for all users.

Step 7: Write Your Tests

  • Within the interchain-test folder, write the tests you want to perform on your CosmWasm contract. This could include instantiation, querying, and incrementing the contract's state.

Step 8: Set Up GitHub Workflow

  • In your GitHub repository, create an .github/workflows directory if it doesn't already exist.

  • Inside the .github/workflows directory, create an end-to-end.yml file. This workflow file will trigger when a pull request or push happens to specific branches.

Step 9: Define GitHub Workflow Actions

  • In the end-to-end.yml workflow file, define the following actions:

    • Download the interchain test.

    • Set up and automatically install the interchain binary.

    • Run your contract tests. You can run any tests you want, including uploading the wasm file and starting your contract on a specific port.

    • Ensure that the tests pass without errors.

Step 10: Workflow Completion

  • If all the tests have passed without any issues, the GitHub workflow will automatically kill the contract instance, exit out, and mark the entire workflow as completed.

Conclusion:

Following this step-by-step guide, you can set up and run Rust CosmWasm contracts in a GitHub workflow using the local interchain tool. This ensures that your contract works in both local and GitHub environments, providing convenience and reliability for your project development and testing.
