SNS local testing environment

What you did above is copying the official files from dfinity/sns-testing into your dapp’s directory. You need to do the copy outside docker from your local checkout of dfinity/sns-testing into your dapp’s directory.

42

Ok so I’ve been trying to update the file that i’ll move from outside docker to the container dapp folder but I get permission errors:

Likewise if I create a second file and call that from the bash instance

43 
chmod +x deploy_test_canister.sh

should do the job

44

Yeah I tried that:

But I still can’t save changes to the deploy script:

45

In that case, it’s likely that you need to change ownership of that file: using ls -l deploy_test_canister.sh you can see the current owner and group and using sudo chown <new-owner>:<new-group> deploy_test_canister.sh you can update the owner and group to match the other files in that directory.

46

Ok so root was the user:

so I updated it but still can’t change permissions or save the file:

You should update the ownership to your user (it shouldn’t actually be root who owns those files).

48

So I just started again with a fresh repository and was able to make changes to this file before copying into the dapp folder:

But the SNS_GOVERNANCE_CANISTER_ID isn’t set:

Have I missed a step from GitHub - dfinity/sns-testing: Testing SNS in local testing environment

49

But the SNS_GOVERNANCE_CANISTER_ID isn’t set:

That’s why the original script contains this:

if [ -f "./sns_canister_ids.json" ]
then
  ./deploy_dapp.sh ...
else
  ./deploy_dapp.sh ...
50

Do you know why the commands here:

are not the same commands as here:

I was thinking I could just try the local testing involving my actual repo in this guide

51

Most likely, the dfx version pinned in dfinity/sns-testing is an older dfx version that does not use dfx extensions.

Hi,

So I’m inside my testing branch, inside the docker image bash shell and I try to deploy:

And I get the following error regarding missing build defaults:

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

So even though I get that error the canisters still deploy, so I tried running let nns control dapp

It is trying to update the controller of the live canister instead of the local one.

54

It seems that docker is missing some dependencies - it should be possible to run dfx deploy for your canisters outside docker just like you’re used to it. The main motivation for using docker is to run the sns-testing scripts, not your own scripts.

55

I see --network local in the debug output. Are you sure the deployment targets the mainnet?

56

I don’t want to target the mainnet, I want local…

I have committed the current branch I am working on:

I’ve copied let_nns_control_dapp.sh, constants.sh and settings.sh into the branch.
