Launching a Test Node
To simplify testing in isolation, we provide a utility called launchTestNode
.
It allows you to spin up a short-lived fuel-core
node, set up a custom provider, wallets, deploy contracts, and much more in one go.
For usage information for launchTestNode
including it's inputs, outputs and options, please check the API reference.
Explicit Resource Management
We support explicit resource management, introduced in TypeScript 5.2, which automatically calls a cleanup
function after a variable instantiated with the using
keyword goes out of block scope:
ts
See code in contextusing launched = await launchTestNode();
/*
* The method `launched.cleanup()` will be automatically
* called when the variable `launched` goes out of block scope.
*/
Configuring Typescript
To use explicit resource management, you must:
- Set your TypeScript version to
5.2
or above - Set the compilation target to
es2022
or below - Configure your lib setting to either include
esnext
oresnext.disposable
json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2022",
"lib": ["es2022", "esnext.disposable"]
}
}
Standard API
If you don't want, or can't use explicit resource management, you can use const
as usual.
In this case, remember you must call .cleanup()
to dispose of the node.
ts
See code in contextconst launchedTestNode = await launchTestNode();
/*
Do your things, run your tests, and then call
`launchedTestNode.cleanup()` to dispose of everything.
*/
launchedTestNode.cleanup();
