hermez-node 
Go implementation of the Hermez node.
Developing
Go version
The hermez-node has been tested with go version 1.14
Build
Build the binary and check the current version:
$ make build
$ bin/node version
Run
First you must edit the default/template config file into cli/node/cfg.buidler.toml, there are more information about the config file into cli/node/README.md
After setting the config, you can build and run the Hermez Node as a synchronizer:
$ make run-node
Or build and run as a coordinator, and also passing the config file from other location:
$ MODE=sync CONFIG=cli/node/cfg.buidler.toml make run-node
To check the useful make commands:
$ make help
Unit testing
Running the unit tests requires a connection to a PostgreSQL database. You can
run PostgreSQL with docker easily this way (where yourpasswordhere should
be your password):
$ POSTGRES_PASS="yourpasswordhere" make run-database-container
Afterward, run the tests with the password as env var:
$ POSTGRES_PASS="yourpasswordhere" make test
NOTE: -p 1 forces execution of package test in serial. Otherwise, they may be
executed in parallel, and the test may find unexpected entries in the SQL database
because it's shared among all tests.
There is an extra temporary option that allows you to run the API server using the Go tests. It will be removed once the API can be properly initialized with data from the synchronizer. To use this, run:
$ POSTGRES_PASS="yourpasswordhere" make test-api-server
Lint
All Pull Requests need to pass the configured linter.
To run the linter locally, first, install golangci-lint.
Afterward, you can check the lints with this command:
$ make gocilint
Usage
Node
Proof Server
The node in mode coordinator requires a proof server (a server capable of
calculating proofs from the zkInputs). There is a mock proof server CLI
at test/proofserver/cli for testing purposes.
Usage of test/proofserver/cli:
USAGE:
go run ./test/proofserver/cli OPTIONS
OPTIONS:
-a string
listen address (default "localhost:3000")
-d duration
proving time duration (default 2s)
Also, the Makefile commands can be used to run and stop the proof server in the background:
$ make run-proof-mock
$ make stop-proof-mock
/tmp as tmpfs
For every processed batch, the node builds a temporary exit tree in a key-value
DB stored in /tmp. It is highly recommended that /tmp is mounted as a RAM
file system in production to avoid unnecessary reads a writes to disk. This
can be done by mounting /tmp as tmpfs; for example, by having this line in
/etc/fstab:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

Package synchronizer synchronizes the hermez network state by querying events emitted by the three smart contracts: `Hermez.sol` (referred as Rollup here), `HermezAuctionProtocol.sol` (referred as Auction here) and `WithdrawalDelayer.sol` (referred as WDelayer here).
