Optimism monorepo contributing guide

🎈 Thanks for your help improving the project! We are so happy to have you!

There are plenty of ways to contribute, in particular we appreciate support in the following areas:

Note that we have a Code of Conduct, please follow it in all your interactions with the project.

Workflow for Pull Requests

🚨 Before making any non-trivial change, please first open an issue describing the change to solicit feedback and guidance. This will increase the likelihood of the PR getting merged.

In general, the smaller the diff the easier it will be for us to review quickly.

In order to contribute, fork the appropriate branch, for non-breaking changes to production that is develop and for the next release that is normally release/X.X.X branch, see details about our branching model.

Additionally, if you are writing a new feature, please ensure you add appropriate test cases.

Follow the Development Quick Start to set up your local development environment.

We recommend using the Conventional Commits format on commit messages.

Unless your PR is ready for immediate review and merging, please mark it as 'draft' (or simply do not open a PR yet).

Bonus: Add comments to the diff under the "Files Changed" tab on the PR page to clarify any sections where you think we might have questions about the approach taken.

Response time:

We aim to provide a meaningful response to all PRs and issues from external contributors within 2 business days.

Changesets

We use changesets to manage releases of our various packages. You must include a changeset file in your PR when making a change that would require a new package release.

Adding a changeset file is easy:

  1. Navigate to the root of the monorepo.
  2. Run yarn changeset. You'll be prompted to select packages to include in the changeset. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor up and down, hit the spacebar to select a package, and hit enter to confirm your selection. Select all packages that require a new release as a result of your PR.
  3. Once you hit enter you'll be prompted to decide whether your selected packages need a major, minor, or patch release. We follow the Semantic Versioning scheme. Please avoid using major releases for any packages that are still in version 0.y.z.
  4. Commit your changeset and push it into your PR. The changeset bot will notice your changeset file and leave a little comment to this effect on GitHub.
  5. Voilà, c'est fini!

Rebasing

We use the git rebase command to keep our commit history tidy. Rebasing is an easy way to make sure that each PR includes a series of clean commits with descriptive commit messages See this tutorial for a detailed explanation of git rebase and how you should use it to maintain a clean commit history.

Development Quick Start

Dependencies

You'll need the following:

Setup

Clone the repository, open it, and install nodejs packages with yarn:

git clone [email protected]:ethereum-optimism/optimism.git
cd optimism
yarn install

Install the Correct Version of NodeJS

Using nvm, install the correct version of NodeJS.

nvm use

Building the TypeScript packages

To build all of the TypeScript packages, run:

yarn clean
yarn build

Packages compiled when on one branch may not be compatible with packages on a different branch. You should recompile all packages whenever you move from one branch to another. Use the above commands to recompile the packages.

Building the rest of the system

If you want to run an Optimism node OR if you want to run the integration tests, you'll need to build the rest of the system.

cd ops
export COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1 # these environment variables significantly speed up build time
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
docker-compose build

This will build the following containers:

  • l1_chain: simulated L1 chain using hardhat-evm as a backend
  • deployer: process that deploys L1 smart contracts to the L1 chain
  • dtl: service that indexes transaction data from the L1 chain
  • l2geth: L2 geth node running in Sequencer mode
  • verifier: L2 geth node running in Verifier mode
  • relayer: helper process that relays messages between L1 and L2
  • batch_submitter: service that submits batches of Sequencer transactions to the L1 chain
  • integration_tests: integration tests in a box

If you want to make a change to a container, you'll need to take it down and rebuild it. For example, if you make a change in l2geth:

cd ops
docker-compose stop -- l2geth
docker-compose build -- l2geth
docker-compose start l2geth

Source code changes can have an impact on more than one container. If you're unsure about which containers to rebuild, just rebuild them all:

cd ops
docker-compose down
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

If a node process exits with exit code: 137 you may need to increase the default memory limit of docker containers

Finally, if you're running into weird problems and nothing seems to be working, run:

cd optimism
yarn clean
yarn build
cd ops
docker-compose down -v
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Viewing docker container logs

By default, the docker-compose up command will show logs from all services, and that can be hard to filter through. In order to view the logs from a specific service, you can run:

docker-compose logs --follow <service name>

Running tests

Before running tests: follow the above instructions to get everything built.

Running unit tests

Run unit tests for all packages in parallel via:

yarn test

To run unit tests for a specific package:

cd packages/package-to-test
yarn test

Running integration tests

Follow above instructions for building the whole stack. Build and run the integration tests:

cd integration-tests
yarn build
yarn test:integration

Running contract static analysis

We perform static analysis with slither. You must have Python 3.x installed to run slither. To run slither locally, do:

cd packages/contracts
pip3 install slither-analyzer
yarn test:slither
