Run Hive Tests

Build Hive and run integration test simulations against Ethereum clients.

Arguments

• $0: Simulator to run (e.g., ethereum/sync, ethereum/rpc)
• --client: Client to test against (e.g., core-geth, go-ethereum)

Hive Structure

• Client definitions: hive/clients/<name>/
• Simulators: hive/simulators/<category>/<name>/
• Clients are Docker containers configured via HIVE_* environment variables

Workflow

1. Navigate to the hive directory
2. Build hive if needed:

   go build .
   

3. Run the specified simulator:

   ./hive --sim $0 --client <client>
   

4. Report the test results

Common Simulators

• ethereum/sync - Block synchronization tests
• ethereum/rpc - JSON-RPC API tests
• ethereum/consensus - Consensus mechanism tests

Example Usage

/hive-run ethereum/sync --client core-geth
/hive-run ethereum/rpc --client go-ethereum

Troubleshooting

If tests fail:

1. Check Docker is running and accessible
2. Verify the client image builds successfully
3. Check hive logs in the workspace directory
4. Consult Hive Documentation
