SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Write, run, and refine fast direct-mode tests for GenLayer intelligent contracts using the in-memory pytest fixtures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct-mode testing with in-memory fixtures (e.g., direct_vm, direct_deploy, direct_alice) to validate state transitions, storage updates, and access control.
  • Mocking web requests and LLM responses to simulate external interactions without network dependency.
  • Clear test patterns and reusable helpers (e.g., conftest setups) to accelerate contract development and ensure deterministic results.

Quick Start

Run the direct-mode tests locally with pytest using the provided fixtures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run in-memory tests for GenLayer contracts using pytest?▼

In-memory tests for GenLayer contracts run locally using pytest fixtures like direct_vm, direct_deploy, and direct_alice to validate state transitions and simulate contract interactions without servers or Docker.

How do I mock web requests and LLM responses in GenLayer contract tests?▼

Mocking web requests and LLM responses in GenLayer tests isolates external interactions, ensuring deterministic test patterns without network dependency by utilizing provided pytest-based direct-mode fixtures.

Do I need Docker to test GenLayer intelligent contracts?▼

Testing GenLayer intelligent contracts does not require Docker; the direct-mode approach uses in-memory pytest fixtures to provide a fast, isolated environment for validating storage updates and access control.

What are the best pytest fixtures for testing GenLayer contract state transitions?▼

The best pytest fixtures for GenLayer contract state transitions are direct_vm, direct_deploy, and direct_alice, which enable isolated, deterministic direct-mode testing and reusable conftest setups.

When should I use direct-mode testing instead of other contract testing methods?▼

Direct-mode testing is ideal for fast, local GenLayer contract development when you need deterministic results and isolated state validation, avoiding the overhead of servers or Docker environments.
