Setup
Contributing
We tend to keep an updated CONTRIBUTING.md, which contains relevant setup and workflow
information about Gno. You can find it on the official Gno
repo, here.
Local repo setup
To begin, clone the repository locally using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/gnolang/gno.git
Building & installing binaries
To build and globally install local gno binaries, follow these steps:
Building & installing from ./gno.land
Navigate to the ./gno.land subfolder and execute:
make build && make install
Building & installing from ./gnovm
Navigate to the `./gnovm`` subfolder and execute:
make build && make install
Running (Go) tests
To run the entire local testing suite, execute the following command from the project root:
make test
This will execute the tests in the following project components:
- tm2
- gnovm
- gno.land
- examples
Running (Gno) tests
Before running *_test.gno test files, ensure you have the gno binary installed. If not, follow the steps
in Building & installing binaries from gno.land.
After installing the gno binary, you can execute the gno command as follows:
gno --help
To test a specific package, run:
gno test path/to/package
Additionally, you might need to specify the path to the root-dir in the gno test command. This is the absolute path to the locally cloned gno repo. For example:
gno test --root-dir /Users/zmilos/Work/gno path/to/package
Clearing out local data
As the local blockchain node runs, it creates on-disk temporary storage. To clear these subdirectories, run the following commands:
From the ./gno.land subfolder:
make clean && make fclean
