If you are interested in contributing to Fuel, see our CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines for coding standards and review process.

Before pushing any changes or creating pull request please run source ci_checks.sh.

Building

System Requirements

There are several system requirements including clang.

MacOS

brew update
brew install cmake

Debian

apt update
apt install -y cmake pkg-config build-essential git clang libclang-dev

Arch

pacman -Syu --needed --noconfirm cmake gcc pkgconf git clang

Rust setup

You'll need wasm32-unknown-unknown target installed.

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

Compiling

We recommend using xtask to build fuel-core:

cargo xtask build

This will run cargo build as well as any other custom build processes we have such as re-generating a GraphQL schema for the client.

Testing

The ci_checks.sh script file can be used to run all CI checks, including the running of tests.

source ci_checks.sh

The script requires pre-installed tools. For more information run:

cat ci_checks.sh

Running

The service can be launched by executing fuel-core run. The list of options for running can be accessed via the help option:

$ ./target/debug/fuel-core run --help

USAGE:
    fuel-core run [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
        --snapshot <SNAPSHOT>
          Snapshot from which to do (re)genesis. Defaults to local testnet configuration

          [env: SNAPSHOT=]
        ...

For many development purposes it is useful to have a state that won't persist and the db-type option can be set to in-memory as in the following example.

Example

$ ./target/debug/fuel-core run --db-type in-memory

To disable block production on your local node, set --poa-instant=false

Example

$ ./target/debug/fuel-core run --poa-instant=false
2023-06-13T12:44:12.857763Z  INFO fuel_core::cli::run: 232: Block production disabled

Running a Ignition node

If you want to participate in the Ignition network with your own node you can launch it following these simple commands.

Install the latest fuelup :

curl -fsSL https://install.fuel.network/ | sh
fuelup toolchain install latest

Clone the chain configuration folder :

git clone https://github.com/FuelLabs/chain-configuration

Generate a keypair for your node:

fuel-core-keygen new --key-type peering

and copy the secret key displayed.

Run your node (change all variable with {} to your own personal variables):

fuel-core run \
--enable-relayer \
--service-name fuel-ignition-node \
--keypair {KEYGEN_SECRET_KEY} \
--relayer {ETHEREUM_RPC_ENDPOINT} \
--ip=0.0.0.0 --port 4000 --peering-port 30333 \
--db-path ~/.fuel-ignition \
--snapshot {PATH_TO_CHAIN_CONFIGURATION_FOLDER}/ignition \
--utxo-validation --poa-instant false --enable-p2p \
--bootstrap-nodes /dnsaddr/mainnet.fuel.network \
--sync-header-batch-size 100 \
--relayer-v2-listening-contracts=0xAEB0c00D0125A8a788956ade4f4F12Ead9f65DDf \
--relayer-da-deploy-height=20620434 \
--relayer-log-page-size=100 \
--sync-block-stream-buffer-size 30

Instead of directly placing your personal values on the command we advise you to use, for example, environment variables.

Troubleshooting

Publishing

We use publish-crates action for automatic publishing of all crates.

If you have problems with publishing, you can troubleshoot it locally with act.

act release -s GITHUB_TOKEN=<YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN> -j publish-crates-check --container-architecture linux/amd64 --reuse

It requires GitHubToken to do request to the GitHub. You can create it with this instruction.

Outdated database

If you encounter an error such as

thread 'main' panicked at 'unable to open database: DatabaseError(Error { message: "Invalid argument: Column families not opened: column-11, column-10, column-9, column-8, column-7, column-6, column-5, column-4, column-3, column-2, column-1, column-0" })', fuel-core/src/main.rs:23:66

Clear your local database using: rm -rf ~/.fuel/db

File descriptor limits

On some macOS versions the default file descriptor limit is quite low, which can lead to IO errors with messages like Too many open files or even fatal runtime error: Rust cannot catch foreign exceptions when RocksDB encounters these issues. Use the following command to increase the open file limit. Note that this only affects the current shell session, so consider adding it to ~/.zshrc.

ulimit -n 10240

Log level

The service relies on the environment variable RUST_LOG. For more information, check the EnvFilter examples crate.

Human logging can be disabled with the environment variable HUMAN_LOGGING=false

Debugging

See the guide on debugging for an overview on running a debug build of a local node.

Docker & Kubernetes

# Create Docker Image
docker build -t fuel-core . -f deployment/Dockerfile

# Delete Docker Image
docker image rm fuel-core

# Create Kubernetes Volume, Deployment & Service
kubectl create -f deployment/fuel-core.yml

# Delete Kubernetes Volume, Deployment & Service
kubectl delete -f deployment/fuel-core.yml

GraphQL service

The client functionality is available through a service endpoint that expect GraphQL queries.

Transaction executor

The transaction executor currently performs instant block production. Changes are persisted to RocksDB by default.

• Service endpoint: /v1/graphql
• Schema (available after building): crates/client/assets/schema.sdl

The service expects a mutation defined as submit that receives a Transaction in hex encoded binary format, as specified here.

cURL example

This example will execute a script that represents the following sequence of ASM:

ADDI(0x10, RegId::ZERO, 0xca),
ADDI(0x11, RegId::ZERO, 0xba),
LOG(0x10, 0x11, RegId::ZERO, RegId::ZERO),
RET(RegId::ONE),

$ cargo run --bin fuel-core-client -- transaction submit \

You may meet the error Transaction is not inserted. UTXO does not exist due to the UTXO validation. The UTXO validation can be turned off by adding the --debug flag.

$ ./target/debug/fuel-core run --db-type in-memory --debug

lib.rs:

The crate fuel-core-types contains plain rust common type used by fuel-core and related libraries. This crate doesn't contain any business logic and is to be such primitive as that is possible.
