测试组件

Testing components is a bit different than testing contracts. Contracts need to be tested against a specific state, which can be achieved by either deploying the contract in a test, or by simply getting the ContractState object and modifying it in the context of your tests.

Components are a generic construct, meant to be integrated in contracts, that can't be deployed on their own and don't have a ContractState object that we could use. So how do we test them?

Let's consider that we want to test a very simple component called "Counter", that will allow each contract to have a counter that can be incremented. The component is defined as follows:

#[starknet::component]
mod CounterComponent {
    #[storage]
    struct Storage {
        value: u32
    }

    #[embeddable_as(CounterImpl)]
    impl Counter<
        TContractState, +HasComponent<TContractState>
    > of super::ICounter<ComponentState<TContractState>> {
        fn get_counter(self: @ComponentState<TContractState>) -> u32 {
            self.value.read()
        }
        fn increment(ref self: ComponentState<TContractState>) {
            self.value.write(self.value.read() + 1);
        }
    }
}

Testing the component by deploying a mock contract

The easiest way to test a component is to integrate it within a mock contract. This mock contract is only used for testing purposes, and only integrates the component you want to test. This allows you to test the component in the context of a contract, and to use a Dispatcher to call the component's entry points.

We can define such a mock contract as follows:

#[starknet::contract]
mod MockContract {
    use super::counter::CounterComponent;
    component!(path: CounterComponent, storage: counter, event: CounterEvent);
    #[storage]
    struct Storage {
        #[substorage(v0)]
        counter: CounterComponent::Storage,
    }
    #[event]
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    enum Event {
        CounterEvent: CounterComponent::Event
    }

    #[abi(embed_v0)]
    impl CounterImpl = CounterComponent::CounterImpl<ContractState>;
}

This contract is entirely dedicated to testing the Counter component. It embeds the component with the component! macro, exposes the component's entry points by annotating the impl aliases with #[abi(embed_v0)].

We also need to define an interface that will be required to interact externally with this mock contract.

#[starknet::interface]
trait ICounter<TContractState> {
    fn get_counter(self: @TContractState) -> u32;
    fn increment(ref self: TContractState);
}

We can now write tests for the component by deploying this mock contract and calling its entry points, as we would with a typical contract.

use core::traits::TryInto;
use super::MockContract;
use super::counter::{ICounterDispatcher, ICounterDispatcherTrait};
use starknet::deploy_syscall;
use starknet::SyscallResultTrait;

fn setup_counter() -> ICounterDispatcher {
    let (address, _) = deploy_syscall(
        MockContract::TEST_CLASS_HASH.try_into().unwrap(), 0, array![].span(), false
    )
        .unwrap_syscall();
    ICounterDispatcher { contract_address: address }
}

#[test]
#[available_gas(20000000)]
fn test_constructor() {
    let counter = setup_counter();
    assert_eq!(counter.get_counter(), 0);
}

#[test]
#[available_gas(20000000)]
fn test_increment() {
    let counter = setup_counter();
    counter.increment();
    assert_eq!(counter.get_counter(), 1);
}

Testing components without deploying a contract

In Components under the hood, we saw that components leveraged genericity to define storage and logic that could be embedded in multiple contracts. If a contract embeds a component, a HasComponent trait is created in this contract, and the component methods are made available.

This informs us that if we can provide a concrete TContractState that implements the HasComponent trait to the ComponentState struct, should be able to directly invoke the methods of the component using this concrete ComponentState object, without having to deploy a mock.

Let's see how we can do that by using type aliases. We still need to define a mock contract - let's use the same as above - but this time, we won't need to deploy it.

First, we need to define a concrete implementation of the generic ComponentState type using a type alias. We will use the MockContract::ContractState type to do so.

use super::counter::{CounterComponent};
use super::MockContract;
use CounterComponent::{CounterImpl};

type TestingState = CounterComponent::ComponentState<MockContract::ContractState>;

// You can derive even `Default` on this type alias
impl TestingStateDefault of Default<TestingState> {
    fn default() -> TestingState {
        CounterComponent::component_state_for_testing()
    }
}

#[test]
#[available_gas(2000000)]
fn test_increment() {
    let mut counter: TestingState = Default::default();

    counter.increment();
    counter.increment();

    assert_eq!(counter.get_counter(), 2);
}

We defined the TestingState type as an alias of the CounterComponent::ComponentState<MockContract::ContractState> type. By passing the MockContract::ContractState type as a concrete type for ComponentState, we aliased a concrete implementation of the ComponentState struct to TestingState.

Because MockContract embeds CounterComponent, the methods of CounterComponent defined in the CounterImpl block can now be used on a TestingState object.

Now that we have made these methods available, we need to instantiate an object of type TestingState, that we will use to test the component. We can do so by calling the component_state_for_testing function, which automatically infers that it should return an object of type TestingState.

We can even implement this as part of the Default trait, which allows us to return an empty TestingState with the Default::default() syntax.

Let's summarize what we've done so far:

  • We defined a mock contract that embeds the component we want to test.
  • We defined a concrete implementation of ComponentState<TContractState> using a type alias with MockContract::ContractState, that we named TestingState.
  • We defined a function that uses component_state_for_testing to return a TestingState object.

We can now write tests for the component by calling its functions directly, without having to deploy a mock contract. This approach is more lightweight than the previous one, and it allows testing internal functions of the component that are not exposed to the outside world trivially.

use super::counter::{CounterComponent};
use super::MockContract;
use CounterComponent::{CounterImpl};

type TestingState = CounterComponent::ComponentState<MockContract::ContractState>;

// You can derive even `Default` on this type alias
impl TestingStateDefault of Default<TestingState> {
    fn default() -> TestingState {
        CounterComponent::component_state_for_testing()
    }
}

#[test]
#[available_gas(2000000)]
fn test_increment() {
    let mut counter: TestingState = Default::default();

    counter.increment();
    counter.increment();

    assert_eq!(counter.get_counter(), 2);
}
