Functions

algoKitLogCaptureFixture

▸ algoKitLogCaptureFixture(): AlgoKitLogCaptureFixture

Creates a test fixture for capturing AlgoKit logs.

Returns

AlgoKitLogCaptureFixture

The fixture

Example

const logs = algoKitLogCaptureFixture()

beforeEach(logs.beforeEach)
afterEach(logs.afterEach)

test('My test', () => {
    const capturedLogs = logs.testLogger.capturedLogs
})

algorandFixture

▸ algorandFixture(fixtureConfig?): AlgorandFixture

Creates a test fixture for automated testing against Algorand. By default it tests against an environment variable specified client if the standard environment variables are specified, otherwise against a default LocalNet instance, but you can pass in an algod, indexer and/or kmd if you want to test against an explicitly defined network.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fixtureConfig?	AlgorandFixtureConfig	The fixture configuration

Returns

AlgorandFixture

The fixture

Example

const algorand = algorandFixture()

beforeEach(algorand.beforeEach, 10_000)

test('My test', async () => {
    const {algod, indexer, testAccount, ...} = algorand.context
    // test things...
})

Defined in

src/testing/fixtures/algorand-fixture.ts:38

▸ algorandFixture(fixtureConfig, config): AlgorandFixture

Creates a test fixture for automated testing against Algorand. By default it tests against an environment variable specified client if the standard environment variables are specified, otherwise against a default LocalNet instance, but you can pass in an algod, indexer and/or kmd if you want to test against an explicitly defined network.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fixtureConfig	undefined | AlgorandFixtureConfig	The fixture configuration
config	AlgoConfig	The algo configuration

Returns

AlgorandFixture

The fixture

Example

const algorand = algorandFixture(undefined, getConfigFromEnvOrDefaults())

beforeEach(algorand.beforeEach, 10_000)

test('My test', async () => {
    const {algod, indexer, testAccount, ...} = algorand.context
    // test things...
})

getTestAccount

▸ getTestAccount(param0, algod, kmd?): Promise\<Account>

Creates an ephemeral Algorand account for the purposes of testing. Returns a newly created random test account that is funded from the dispenser DO NOT USE THIS TO CREATE A MAINNET ACCOUNT! Note: By default this will log the mnemonic of the account.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
param0	GetTestAccountParams	The config for the test account to generate
algod	default	An algod client
kmd?	default	A KMD client, if not specified then a default KMD client will be loaded from environment variables

Returns

Promise\<Account>

The account, with private key loaded

Defined in

src/testing/account.ts:19

runWhenIndexerCaughtUp

▸ runWhenIndexerCaughtUp\<T>(run): Promise\<T>

Runs the given indexer call until a 404 error is no longer returned. Tried every 200ms up to 100 times. Very rudimentary implementation designed for automated testing.

Type parameters

Name
T

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
run	() => Promise\<T>	The code to run

Returns

Promise\<T>

The result (as a promise), or throws if the indexer didn't catch up in time

Example

const transaction = await runWhenIndexerCaughtUp(() => indexer.lookupTransactionByID(txnId).do())

Defined in

src/testing/indexer.ts:12
