Test Beacon Root Precompile

Documentation for tests/cancun/eip4788_beacon_root/test_beacon_root_precompile.py.

Generate fixtures for these test cases for Cancun with:

Cancun only:

fill -v tests/cancun/eip4788_beacon_root/test_beacon_root_precompile.py --fork=Cancun --evm-bin=/path/to/evm-tool-dev-version
For all forks up to and including Cancun:
fill -v tests/cancun/eip4788_beacon_root/test_beacon_root_precompile.py --until=Cancun --evm-bin=/path/to/evm-tool-dev-version

Tests beacon block root for EIP-4788: Beacon block root in the EVM

Test the exposed beacon chain root in the EVM for EIP-4788: Beacon block root in the EVM

Adding a new test

Add a function that is named test_<test_name> and takes at least the following arguments:

  • blockchain_test or state_test
  • env
  • pre
  • blocks or tx
  • post
  • valid_call

The following arguments need to be parametrized or the test will not be generated:

-

All other pytest.fixtures can be parametrized to generate new combinations and test cases.

test_beacon_root_precompile_calls(state_test, env, pre, tx, post)

Tests the beacon root precompile call using various call contexts: - CALL - DELEGATECALL - CALLCODE - STATICCALL for different call gas amounts: - exact gas (valid call) - extra gas (valid call) - insufficient gas (invalid call)

The expected result is that the precompile call will be executed if the gas amount is met and return the correctparent_beacon_block_root. Otherwise the call will be invalid, and not be executed. This is highlighted within storage by storing the return value of each call context.

Tests multiple beacon root precompile calls where the timestamp index is calculated to be equal for each call (i.e colliding). For each parameterized timestamp a list of colliding timestamps are calculated using factors of the HISTORY_ROOTS_MODULUS.

The expected result is that precompile call will return an equal beacon_root for each timestamp used within the call, as the timestamp index used will be the same.

Here we are predominantly testing that the timestamp_index and root_index are derived correctly in the evm.
