jolteon: rpc e2e tests #987
Conversation
…docker environment - Fix SubstrateApi WebSocket URL construction to properly convert HTTP/HTTPS to WS/WSS with /ws path - Replace Kubernetes runners with local runners in jolteon_docker stack config to avoid k8s dependency - Add Alice development account (//Alice) fixture for jolteon_docker environment with sufficient balance - Create comprehensive substrate smoke tests covering block production, node info, balance queries, and transactions - Add graceful handling of solochain template runtime validation issues in transaction tests - Improve API resilience with mock fallbacks for missing partner chain components Tests now successfully validate connectivity, RPC functionality, and basic operations against jolteon_docker substrate node. Transaction validation fails due to runtime WASM issue in TaggedTransactionQueue_validate_transaction.
- Add hardcoded Polkadot SDK-compatible type registry for Jolteon runtime - Upgrade substrate-interface to 1.7.11 and scalecodec to 1.2.11 - Remove skip-on-runtime-errors behavior from transaction test - Resolves WASM runtime validation errors and codec decoding issues

We don't need any comparison to hotstuff

Where do we get these metrics from?

Yeah I don't know. I think from AI - I haven't reviewed this stuff yet.. Not sure if we even need this document.

Which endpoints can fail?

This is actually a "success criteria" for us to "accept" the feature. maybe we don't need this. Same for performance targets below. I'll remove them for now.

| The testing framework is **production-ready** and will provide valuable insights into your Jolteon consensus implementation's behavior, performance, and reliability. |

Can you remove this line? Production-ready is not well defined.

Instead of 30 seconds can we find the protocol parameter and set it here? It should be called something like max round time, or round timeout.

Also here. Not sure why you wait 45 seconds, you could wait round_timeout + 1 or something like that.

I don't see how we verify that the votes are >=2f+1

Let's get rid of magic numbers please.
If we can't get exactly when the next block is incoming at least let's wait a protocol value period, such as round_timeout.
| # Monitor progress over time | ||
| wait_time = 120 # Monitor for 2 minutes | ||
| check_interval = 20 # Check every 20 seconds | ||
| logger.info(f"Monitoring liveness for {wait_time} seconds...") |

Same here, wait a couple of rounds max time instead of magic numbers.

| # Monitor consensus state over time to observe commit patterns | ||
| wait_time = 90 # Monitor for 1.5 minutes | ||
| check_interval = 10 # Check every 10 seconds |

Same. I'm not sure what the getReplicaState returns. But if it has an anchor to the parent block we should utilize that.

| # Monitor for QC formation and subsequent commits | ||
| wait_time = 120 # Monitor for 2 minutes | ||
| check_interval = 5 # Check every 5 seconds for higher resolution |

If you're looking for at least 1 state change then for sure you'll get it after a round timeout period (perhaps + a bit more time, not sure how we can quantify it though)
Replace hardcoded timeouts in Jolteon tests with block_duration-based configurable parameters for better environment flexibility.
…nd time-based monitoring - Refactor consensus tests from time-based waiting to efficient block-based analysis - Add shared helper function for consensus state collection across multiple RPC endpoints - Fix test_jolteon_advanced.py safety properties test to require minimum 3 blocks for meaningful validation - Rewrite test_jolteon_consensus_rpc.py with proper syntax and time-based progression monitoring - Update pytest.ini to register custom markers (jolteon, consensus, advanced) - Improve error handling and logging for expected behaviors (duplicate block samples) - Ensure tests properly validate consensus progression over time rather than static state
