Usage

ChaincodeMockStub View definition

This ChaincodeMockStub is a Mock implementation of the fabric-shim stub. This means you can test your chaincode without actually starting your network.

Examples are located at examples/tests

!! Following methods are not (yet) implemented and will not work !!

• getBinding
• getChannelID

How to test

Testing NodeJS chaincode works similarly to testing using the mockstub in the Golang chaincode.

The ChaincodeMockStub has 2 important mock functions mockInitand mockInvoke. By passing your chaincode, it will mock a transaction and execute a invoke/init similarly to how it will originally be called. Both these functions will return a ChaincodeResponse. Using this ChaincodeResponse object, we can test whether or not the action returned an expected result.

On success, this response will look like this. If the method returns something, the response will also contain a payload.

{
    "status": 200,
    "payload": <Buffer_with_your_data>
}

On error, this response will look like this.

{
    "status": 500,
    "message": <Buffer_with_your_error_message>
}

You'll be able to validate the response using something like chai.

// Validate response status
expect(response.status).to.eql(200)
// Validate payload - using `Transform.bufferToObject` because we recieve the payload as a buffer
expect(Transform.bufferToObject(response.payload).owner).to.eql("newOwner")

Include your chaincode

At the top of your test file, you can import and instantiate your chaincode, this only has to be done once.

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

Include the mockstub

After this, in your tests, you can create a new mockstub. You have to pass a random name (not that important) and your chaincode. It's up to you if you want to create a new mockstub for each test, which runs those tests with an empty state. Or use one for all the tests. If you reuse the same stub, you also reuse the previous tests state.

import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

Example

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';
import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

describe('Test MyChaincode', () => {

    it("Should init without issues", async () => {
        const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        // Your test code
    });
});

Test Init

The Init()method can be tested using the mockStub.mockInit(txId: string, args: string[]) function. It will create a new mock transaction and call the init method on your chaincode. Since the init happens when instantiating your chaincode, you generally don't want it to return anything. So, for this, we'll check the response status.

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';
import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

describe('Test MyChaincode', () => {

    it("Should init without issues", async () => {
        const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        const response = await mockStub.mockInit("tx1", []);

        expect(response.status).to.eql(200)
    });
});

Test Invoke

The Invoke()method can be tested using the mockStub.mockInvoke(txId: string, args: string[]) function. It will create a new mock transaction and call the invoke method on your chaincode. The client will either send a query or an invoke, but the chaincode will accept these both as invoke. In your tests there isn't any difference, both invokes and queries can return a result.

Test queryCar

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';
import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

describe('Test MyChaincode', () => {

    it("Should query car", async () => {
        const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        const response = await mockStub.mockInvoke("tx2", ['queryCar', `CAR0`]);

        expect(Transform.bufferToObject(response.payload)).to.deep.eq({
            'make': 'prop1',
            'model': 'prop2',
            'color': 'prop3',
            'owner': 'owner',
            'docType': 'car'
        });
    });
});

Test createCar

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';
import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

describe('Test MyChaincode', () => {

    it("Should be able to add car", async () => {
        const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        const response = await mockStub.mockInvoke("tx1", ['createCar', `CAR0`, `prop1`, `prop2`, `prop3`, `owner`]);

        expect(response.status).to.eql(200)

        const response = await mockStub.mockInvoke("tx1", ['queryCar', `CAR0`]);

        expect(Transform.bufferToObject(response.payload)).to.deep.eq({
            'make': 'prop1',
            'model': 'prop2',
            'color': 'prop3',
            'owner': 'owner',
            'docType': 'car'
        })
    });
});

Testing individual classes

You are not required to only test using the mockInvoke and mockInit. You can directly call the methods on your chaincode or on the mockStub if you really want to.

Testing using Mychaincode directly

A remark when using this, depending what you return in your function, you will be able to receive a Buffer or an object in your tests. This is discussed in chaincode

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';
import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

describe('Test MyChaincode', () => {

    it("Should be able to add car", async () => {
        const stub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        const car0 = {
            'make': 'Toyota',
            'model': 'Prius',
            'color': 'blue',
            'owner': 'Tomoko',
            'docType': 'car'
        };

        const car = await chaincode.queryCar(stub, ["CAR0"])

        expect(car).to.deep.equal(car0);
    });
});

Testing using ChaincodeMockStub directly 🤨

You can do this, but you shouldn't. Your logic should be written in your functions, not your tests.

Test query results

import { MyChaincode } from '../<path_to_your_chaincode_class>';
import { ChaincodeMockStub, Transform } from "@theledger/fabric-mock-stub";

// You always need your chaincode so it knows which chaincode to invoke on
const chaincode = new MyChaincode();

describe('Test MyChaincode', () => {

    it("Should be able to add car", async () => {
        const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        const query = {
            selector: {
                model: {
                    "$in": ['Nano', "Punto"]
                }
            }
        };

        const it = await mockStub.getQueryResult(JSON.stringify(query));

        const items = await Transform.iteratorToList(it);

        expect(items).to.be.length(2)
    });
});

Test emitted events

it("Should get the emitted event", async () => {
        const mockStub = new ChaincodeMockStub("MyMockStub", chaincode);

        await mockStub.mockInvoke("tx1", ['createCar', `CAR0`, `prop1`, `prop2`, `prop3`, `owner`]);

        const eventPayload = await mockStub.getEvent('CREATE_CAR');

        expect(eventPayload).to.equal('Car created.');
});
