test: 🏗️ Setup e2e testing framework (#104)
## Implement E2E Testing Framework with Isolated Networks

### Summary
Refactors the existing E2E testing infrastructure to provide isolated
test environments with parallel execution support. Each test suite now
runs in its own network namespace, preventing resource conflicts.

### Key Changes
- **New Testing Framework** (`test/framework/`): Base classes for test
lifecycle management with automatic setup/teardown
- **Launcher Module** (`test/launcher/`): Extracted network
orchestration logic from CLI handlers for reusability
- **Parallel Execution**: Added `test-parallel.ts` script with
concurrency limits to prevent resource exhaustion
- **Test Isolation**: Each suite gets unique network IDs (format:
`suiteName-timestamp`) and Docker networks
- **Improved Test Organization**: Migrated tests to new framework,
deprecated old test structure

### Test Improvements
- Added 4 new test suites demonstrating framework usage. :
  - `contracts.test.ts` - Smart contract deployment/interaction
  - `datahaven-substrate.test.ts` - Substrate API operations  
  - `cross-chain.test.ts` - Snowbridge cross-chain messaging
  - `ethereum-basic.test.ts` - Ethereum network operations

> [!WARNING]
The test suites themselves are bad and shouldn't be consider examples of
good tests. They were AI generated just to test the concurrency of test
runners

### Documentation
- Added comprehensive framework overview (`E2E_FRAMEWORK_OVERVIEW.md`)
- Updated README with parallel testing commands
- Added test patterns and best practices

### Breaking Changes
- Old test suites moved to `e2e - DEPRECATED/` directory
- Test execution now requires extending `BaseTestSuite` class

### Testing
Run tests with: `bun test:e2e` or `bun test:e2e:parallel` (with
concurrency limits)

### TODO
- [ ] Implement good test examples.
- [ ] Implement useful test utils (like waiting for an event to show up
in DataHaven or Ethereum).
- [ ] Enforce tests with CI (currently cannot be done due to
intermittent error when sending a transaction with PAPI).

DataHaven E2E Testing

Quick start guide for running DataHaven end-to-end tests. For comprehensive documentation, see E2E Testing Guide.

Pre-requisites

  • Kurtosis: For launching test networks
  • Bun v1.2 or higher: TypeScript runtime and package manager
  • Docker: For container management
  • Foundry: To deploy contracts
  • Helm: The Kubernetes Package Manager
MacOS

Important

If you are running this on a Mac, zig is a pre-requisite for crossbuilding the node. Instructions for installation can be found here.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
bun i

# Interactive CLI to launch a full local DataHaven network
bun cli launch

# Run all the e2e tests
bun test:e2e

# Run all the e2e tests with limited concurrency
bun test:e2e:parallel

# Run a specific test suite
bun test suites/some-test.test.ts

For more information on the E2E testing framework, see the E2E Testing Framework Overview.

Other Common Commands

Command Description
bun cli stop Stop all local DataHaven networks (interactive, will ask for confirmation on each component of the network)
bun cli deploy Deploy the DataHaven network to a remote Kubernetes cluster
bun generate:wagmi Generate contract TypeScript bindings for the contracts in the contracts directory
bun generate:types Generate Polkadot API types
bun generate:types:fast Generate Polkadot API types with the --fast-runtime feature enabled

Local Network Deployment

Follow these steps to set up and interact with your local network:

  1. Deploy a minimal test environment

    bun cli launch
    

    This script will:

    1. Check for required dependencies.
    2. Launch a DataHaven solochain.
    3. Start a Kurtosis network which includes:
      • 2 Ethereum Execution Layer clients (reth)
      • 2 Ethereum Consensus Layer clients (lodestar)
      • Blockscout Explorer services for EL (if enabled with --blockscout)
      • Dora Explorer service for CL
    4. Deploy DataHaven smart contracts to the Ethereum network. This can optionally include verification on Blockscout if the --verified flag is used (requires Blockscout to be enabled).
    5. Perform validator setup and funding operations.
    6. Set parameters in the DataHaven chain.
    7. Launch Snowbridge relayers.
    8. Perform validator set update.

    Note

    If you want to also have the contracts verified on Blockscout, you can pass the --verified flag to the bun cli launch command, along with the --blockscout flag. This will do all the previous, but also verify the contracts on Blockscout. However, note that this takes some time to complete.

  2. Explore the network

    • Block Explorer: http://127.0.0.1:3000.
    • Kurtosis Dashboard: Run kurtosis web to access. From it you can see all the services running in the network, as well as their ports, status and logs.

Troubleshooting

E2E Network Launch doesn't work

Script halts unexpectedly

When running bun cli launch the script appears to halt after the following:

## Setting up 1 EVM.

==========================

Chain 3151908

Estimated gas price: 2.75 gwei

Estimated total gas used for script: 71556274

Estimated amount required: 0.1967797535 ETH

==========================

This is due to how forge streams output to stdout, but is infact still deploying contracts to the chain. You should be able to see in blockscout the deploy script is indeed still working.

Errors with deploying forge scripts on kurtosis network

Try running forge clean to clear any spurious build artefacts, and running forge build again. Also try deploying manually to the still running kurtosis network.

Blockscout is empty

If you look at the browser console, if you see the following:

Content-Security-Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource (connect-src) at http://127.0.0.1:3000/node-api/proxy/api/v2/stats because it violates the following directive: "connect-src ' ...

this is a result of CORS and CSP errors due to running this as a local docker network.

Make sure you are connected directly to http://127.0.0.1:3000 (not localhost).

Alternatively, you can try installing a browser addon such as anti-CORS / anti-CSP to circumvent this problem.

Weird forge Errors

In the /contracts directory, you can try to run forge clean and forge build to see if it fixes the issue.

Linux: See if disabling ipV6 helps

I have found that ipV6 on Arch Linux does not play very nicely with Kurtosis networks. Disabling it completely fixed the issue for me.

macOS: Verify Docker networking settings

Docker Network Settings

If using Docker Desktop, make sure settings have permissive networking enabled.

Polkadot-API types don't match expected runtime types

If you've made changes to the runtime types, you need to re-generate the TS types for the Polkadot-API. Don't worry, this is fully automated.

From the ./test directory run the following command:

bun generate:types

This script will:

  1. Compile the runtime using cargo build --release in the ../operator directory.
  2. Re-generate the Polkadot-API types using the newly built WASM binary.

Note

The script uses the --release flag by default, meaning it uses the WASM binary from ./operator/target/release. If you need to use a different build target, you may need to adjust the script or run the steps manually.
