Release Versioning

Releases for the tests library follow semantic versioning:

  • Major number updates every time there is a backwards incompatibility for test runners, e.g.
    • New fork rules
    • Backwards-incompatible format changes
  • Minor number updates when new tests are added that are backwards compatible
  • Patch number updates if an existing test is bugfixed

Here is an example how a follow-up release line could look like:

  • v6-alpha - starting to implement EIPs, but not all EIPs are finalized
  • v6-beta - all EIPs finalized, but some tests still in progress
  • v6.0.0 - all desired coverage for Constantinople tests to be considered "done enough"
  • v6.1.0 - more coverage added
  • v6.2.0 - more coverage added
  • v6.2.1 - bugfix on one of the tests
  • v7.0.0 - change in test format output (if backwards incompatible)

Release Notes

v7.0.0

This is the last Ethereum tests release with a pre-Berlin HF state, so it provides some stable ground to upgrade client test runners against to be ready for a Berlin hardfork integration.

Tests Added

StateTests / BlockchainTests

EIP-2200

Added state tests (also as BlockchainTests) to validate the EIP-1706/EIP-2200 out of gas condition, specifically aimed at validating less than or equals to the stipend handling, see GeneralStateTests/stSStoreTest/sstore_gasLeft.json PR #649

DIV/SDIV/MOD/SDIV by Zero

Added state tests (also as BlockchainTests) checking DIV/SDIV/MOD/SDIV by zero, see GeneralStateTests/stSolidityTest/ByZero.json, PR #647

Stack Validity of SWAP

Added tests checking stack validity of SWAP, see GeneralStateTests/stStackTests/stackOverflowSWAP.json and [..]/stacksanitySWAP.json, PR #647

EXTCODEHASH Empty Account

Added more EXTCODEHASH state tests (also as BlockchainTests) of nonexistent and post suicide accounts, see GeneralStateTests/stExtCodeHash/callToNonExistent.json, [..]/callToSuicideThenExtcodehash.json and [..]/createEmptyThenExtcodehash.json, PR #654

SELFBALANCE in different Call Types

Added a composite state test (also in BlockchainTests) for SELFBALANCE that will do all the exisitng test inside of CALL, DELEGATECALL, and CALLCODE calls, see GeneralStateTests/stSelfBalance/selfBalanceCallTypes.json, PR #671

Retesteth Unit Tests

Introduced retesteth unitTests in BlockchainTests/InvalidBlocks/bcExpectSection/filling_unexpectedAccount.json, PR #676

Difficulty Tests

Added difficulty tests for EIP-2384 (Muir Glacier Difficulty Bomb Delay), PR #662

Keystore Tests

Added KeyStore test based on MyCrypto file in order to ensure that the generated file is compatible with MyCrypto and Metamask, PR #665

RLP Tests

Added RLP invalid tests for insufficient bytes, see RLPTests/invalidRLPTest.json, PR #614

Test Format Changes

BlockChainTests

LegacyTests

BlockChain tests up to ConstantinopleFix (aka Petersburg) now also have been moved to the [LegacyTests/] folder, the main test folders on this release only contain the Istanbul tests, PR #648

VMTests -> BlockchainTests

VMTests have been converted to BlockchainTests and can now be found in BlockchainTests/ValidBlocks/VMTests/, PR #680

PostState Correction

On some LegacyTests postState has been corrected to postStateHash, you can use this repo search to see which tests are affected. This might need some adoption of your test runner.

v6.0.0-beta.3

Potentially breaking changes

  • #547 requires your integration to understand the network ByzantiumToConstantinopleAt5, which is analogous to existing pseudo networks such as FrontierToHomesteadAt5 and EIP158ToByzantiumAt5.

  • #557 changes the format of the rlp tests, byte strings are now prefixed with "0x"

EIP 1234

  • #547 added a test for the difficulty changes. This adds the network ByzantiumToConstantinopleAt5, which is analogous to existing networks such as FrontierToHomesteadAt5 and EIP158ToByzantiumAt5.

EIP 1052

  • #548 Added a test for EXTCODEHASH called on an account created in the same transaction
  • #549 added a few more tests for EXTCODEHASH and EXTCODESIZE on accounts created in the same transaction
  • #550 Checks that changes to an account's nonce, balance, or storage do not change the result of calling EXTCODEHASH
  • #552 Added another EXTCODEHASH test, what if it's run on accounts which have self-destructed?
  • #563 Another spectacularly detailed test case of EXTCODEHASH involving recursive calls and oog-induced revert
  • #566 checks that EXTCODEHASH returns a different result when the code changes
  • #568 adds a test for EXTCODEHASH; what if the contract being hashed self destructed while in the middle of a delegate call?
  • #569 calls EXTCODEHASH on an empty contract

Misc

  • #551 tests for a Constantinople bug the fuzzer found in geth
  • #544 adds an RLP test, courtesy of the mana team
  • #557 changes the format of the rlp tests, byte strings are now prefixed with "0x"
  • #561 changed some of the tests. There were some changes to testeth which made the previous tests impossible to regenerate. They were refactored but not in a way which should break any client.
  • #567 adds a Constantinople test Mana found when they failed to sync with Ropsten

v6.0.0-beta.2 Release CW 46

Constantinople Test Updates

  • Added initial test cases for EXTCODEHASH EIP-1052, see PR #484
  • More EXTCODEHASH tests, see PR #544
  • New SSTORE state tests and blockchain tests where an external call is overwriting/colliding with new SSTORE gas calculation rules, see PR #535

Test Coverage

  • New tests to cover cases where the result of an EVM opcode is written to a specified memory range and the result is shorter than the specified range, see PR #538

Library Changes

  • Added .idea to .gitignore, see PR #546

Docs

Test generation docs have been consolidated and integrated in the central ReadTheDocs testing documentation.

We also updated outdated parts on this doc section (see PR #539), so it should in principle now be possible to follow the guide and end up with a working test creation setup. There might still be some glitches, please let us know or submit a PR on ethereum/tests to if you stumble over something.

v6.0.0-beta.1 Release CW 43

Constantinople Test Summary

  • EIP-145 (Bitwise shifting): Tests for SAR, SHL and SHR in GeneralStateTests/stShift directory, blockchain tests analogue
  • EIP-1014 (CREATE2): Various cases covered in GeneralStateTests/stCreate2 directory, blockchain tests analogue
  • EIP-1052 (EXTCODEHASH): Tests not merged yet, open PR #484
  • EIP-1283 (SSTORE): Dedicated tests in GeneralStateTests/stSStoreTest directory also covering Ropsten consensus issue cases, blockchain tests analogue, generally refilled state tests with new SSTORE gas metering rules in PR #511
  • EIP-1234 (difficulty): New difficultyConstantinople.json file and regenerated difficultyRopsten.json files in the BasicTests directory, see PR #518

Library Changes

Be aware that the format of BlockchainTests recently changed with the introduction of a new field sealEngine (values: NoProof | Ethash), see related JSON Schema change or BlockchainTest format docs for reference.

This means that you can faster-execute NoProof based tests skipping block validation. These tests nevertheless doesn't provide reliable values for PoW-based block header fields any more (mixHash, nonce), so make sure that you don't rely on the correctness of these values for the tests to pass.
