How to Build and Test

The Matcher as Node can be built and installed wherever java can run. We ship following artifacts:

1. A DEB file is a recommended way to install Matcher on Debian and its derivatives.
2. A TGZ file contains all required JARs

To build and test it your own, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Setup the environment

1.1. Installing Java

Use Java 8 to build artifacts. To run them you are able to use either Java 8 or Java 11.

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deafult-jre default-jdk

macOS:

homebrew is preferable choice. You can install java and sbt with:

brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
brew cask install adoptopenjdk8
brew install sbt

Windows:

Download JDK from adoptopenjdk.net and install it.

1.2. Installing SBT

1. Please follow the SBT installation instructions depending on your operating system (Mac, Windows, Linux).

2. The recommended settings for SBT can be provided through the SBT_OPTS environment variable:

   Options are: -Xmx2048M -Xss256m -XX:MetaspaceSize=256m -XX:MaxMetaspaceExpansion=0

   • During each SBT run: SBT_OPTS="<paste options here>"
   • Or once in ~/.bash_profile: export SBT_OPTS="<paste options here>". Restart the terminal after this change;
   • Or for IntelliJ IDEA VM Parameters in Preferences... > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > sbt. Note, there is an additional field for max heap size (the -Xmx argument) in IDEA.

3. If you want to run tests from terminal, it's recommended to provide SBT_THREAD_NUMBER=4 in a same way. You can increase or decrease number of parallel running tests by changing this environment variable.

About options:

• -Xmx to limit memory consumption by SBT;
• -Xss to allow compiler use a huge stack. Requred for shapeless;
• -XX:MaxMetaspaceExpansion to force garbage

2. Obtaining Source Codes

git clone git@github.com:wavesplatform/matcher.git waves-matcher
cd waves-matcher

NOTE: the directory name must not be a one of root directories if you work in IntelliJ IDEA, see Known issues.

3. Compilation and unit tests

sbt quickCheck

4. Running Matcher integration tests (optional)

SBT

1. Open sbt in a terminal.

2. Create a Docker image before you run any test: dex-it/docker

3. Run tests:

   • Run all tests: dex-it/test
   • Run one test: dex-it/testOnly *.TestClassName or dex-it/testOnly full.package.TestClassName

IntelliJ IDEA

1. Once. Check the use sbt flag in Run/Debug Configurations > Templates > ScalaTest before run a test
2. Open tab "sbt shell"
3. Run dex-it/docker before run any test
4. Run a test

5. Building packages

There will be artifacts after packaging in dex/target directory:

• dex-*_all.deb (note, it has _all in the end);
• universal/dex-*.tgz

Mainnet

sbt packageAll

Testnet

set ThisBuild/network:=Testnet
sbt -Dnetwork=testnet packageAll

6. Running an extension project locally during development

SBT

sbt "dex/run /path/to/configuration"

IntelliJ IDEA

1. Click on Add configuration (or Edit configurations...)

2. Click on + to add a new configuration, choose Application

3. Specify:

   • Main class: com.wavesplatform.Application
   • Program arguments: _local/mainnet.sample.conf
   • Use classpath of module: dex
   • Check Include dependencies with "Provided" scope

4. Click on OK

5. Run this configuration

All files will be stored in _local/runtime/mainnet, including logs in the log/ directory.

Installing and running

The Matcher server runs as a separate service and communicates with a Matcher extension on the Node. So:

1. First, you need an installed Node.
2. Then you need to install a extensions to the Node and update its configuration. This is a bridge between the Matcher server and the Node.
3. Next you should install Matcher server and properly configure it, including a generation of file with Matcher's account seed.
4. Run the Node, wait until it will be up with the network.
5. Run the Matcher.

1. Node installation

See instructions in their documentation.

2. Node extension installation

Since a version 2.3.4 Matcher has been using waves-grpc-server extension from the Node to get data with a blockchain events and updates. Since a version 2.3.0 until 2.3.4 Matcher used grpc-server extension (the old name for waves-grpc-server).

You must install extensions at the Node:

• waves-dex-extension
• waves-grpc-server

ℹ️ IMPORTANT: waves-grpc-server writes own data during blockchain updates. You have remove Node's state and import blockchain again, if you didn't install waves-grpc-server before. See the official Node documentation for details.

Artifacts of extensions have names like:

• ext-name-{supported-network}_{version}.deb for DEB artifact. {supported-network} is empty for MainNet;
• ext-name-{version}.zip for ZIP artifact.

2.a. 📦 Installation through DEB

If the Node installed from DEB

Run: sudo dpkg -i deb-artifact.deb

The extension will be automatically installed to the Node.

2.b. 🗜 Installation through ZIP

If the Node is running manually. Note, if you installed Node from a DEB package, Matcher will be removed after update.

To install an extension from ZIP file:

1. Copy the archive to the directory with Node's JAR
2. Extract the archive. Its files will be added to the existed directories.

To run the Node with an extension use following commands:

Debian/Ubuntu/macOS:

java <your_JVM_options> -cp "/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/waves-all.jar:/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/lib/*" com.wavesplatform.Application /path/to/config.conf

Windows:

java <your_JVM_options> -cp "/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/waves-all.jar;/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/lib/*" com.wavesplatform.Application /path/to/config.conf

3. 📃 Node's configuration

Usually it is /etc/waves-{network}/waves.conf

Add these lines:

TN {
  # Enable required extensions
  extensions += "com.wavesplatform.events.BlockchainUpdates"
  extensions += "com.wavesplatform.dex.grpc.integration.DEXExtension"

  # Other settings: https://github.com/wavesplatform/Waves/blob/version-1.2.x/grpc-server/src/main/resources/application.conf 
  grpc.host = "127.0.0.1" # "0.0.0.0" if Node and Matcher installed on different servers

  # Other settings: https://github.com/wavesplatform/matcher/blob/master/waves-ext/src/main/resources/application.conf#L4
  dex.grpc.integration.host = "127.0.0.1" # "0.0.0.0" if Node and Matcher installed on different servers
}

4. Matcher server installation

Artifacts of Matcher extension have names like waves-dex{version}.{deb|zip}.

4.a. 📦 Installation through DEB

Run: sudo dpkg -i deb-artifact.deb

The Matcher server will be installed. Note, the service will not start. You should update the configuration (see below) and then start the service:

• If you are using system.d (used on Ubuntu since 15.04): sudo systemctl start waves-dex
• If you are using init.d: sudo /etc/init.d/tn-dex

If it is a fresh install, configurations were copied to /etc/tn-dex.

4.b. 🗜 Installation through ZIP

To install a Matcher server from ZIP file:

1. Extract it

2. There are sample configurations:

   • doc/main.conf is a sample Matcher server configuration;
   • doc/logback.xml is a sample logging configuration.

   Copy them to a directory with production configurations.

To run:

Debian/Ubuntu/macOS:

/path/to/matcher/directory/bin/tn-dex -Dlogback.configurationFile=/path/to/config/directory/logback.xml <your_JVM_options> /path/to/config/directory/main.conf

Windows:

/path/to/matcher/directory/bin/tn-dex.bat -Dlogback.configurationFile=/path/to/config/directory/logback.xml <your_JVM_options> /path/to/config/directory/main.conf

5. 📃 Matcher's configuration

Usually it is /etc/waves-dex/main.conf Also there is an example of logging configuration in the "doc" directory.

1. Generate an account storage and update your config. Don't forget to check, that the generated file belongs to waves-dex user and group.

2. Uncomment and edit these options in the config:

   # Client for com.wavesplatform.dex.grpc.integration.DEXExtension
   # grpc.target = "127.0.0.1:6887" # Replace host and port. 6887 is a default port.
   
   # Client for com.wavesplatform.events.BlockchainUpdates
   # blockchain-updates-grpc.target = "127.0.0.1:6881" # Replace host and port. 6881 is a default port.

6. ✅ That's all

Your Node should up with the network. If that, run the Matcher.

CLI

We have CLI tools accompanying to Matcher server. Run waves-dex-cli to see a full documentation. The CLI functionality includes:

• Generating an account storage (required to run Matcher server);
• Generating an account seed by base seed, and printing useful information about it;
• Generating an API key;
• And so on.

If you want to run CLI from SBT, use the following template:

dex/runMain com.wavesplatform.dex.cli.WavesDexCli here-your-arguments

1. Generating account storage

Example:

tn-dex-cli create-account-storage --address-scheme W --seed-format base64 --account-nonce 3 --output-directory /var/lib/tn-dex

# With Docker (an image is not available on Docker Hub, you should built it yourself):
docker run --rm --name matcher-cli -it -e MATCHER_HEAP_SIZE=512M -v ${PWD}/files:/var/lib/waves-dex/files \
--entrypoint /usr/share/waves-dex/bin/waves-dex-cli wavesplatform/matcher-server:latest \
create-account-storage --address-scheme W --seed-format base64 --account-nonce 3 --output-directory /var/lib/waves-dex/files

here:

• W is mainnet;
• --account-nonce 3 - we suppose you will provide a base seed and Matcher server should use the fourth account of it (numeration starts with 0). If you will provide an account seed, don't specify this option;
• --output-directory - where the account.dat file will be stored.

After running this command you will see where your account.dat was saved and which settings do you have to add to the Matcher server configuration (/usr/share/tn-dex/conf/main.conf). Note, the shown settings contain a placeholder for your raw password, insert a real password to your configuration!

2. Generating API key

Example:

./bin/tn-dex-cli com.wavesplatform.dex.cli.WavesDexCli create-api-key --api-key "integration-test-rest-api"

An output:

Your API Key: 7L6GpLHhA5KyJTAVc8WFHwEcyTY8fC8rRbyMCiFnM4i
Don't forget to update your settings:

TN.dex.rest-api.api-key-hash = "7L6GpLHhA5KyJTAVc8WFHwEcyTY8fC8rRbyMCiFnM4i"

Known issues

Common

1. The compilation may fail on master with strange errors like:

   Symbol '...' is missing from the classpath ClassNotFound

   if during the previous run the process was killed (by you or system). You need to delete all target directories on both projects: waves and dex:

   1. In the cloned Matcher directory: find . -type d -name target | xargs -I{} rm -rf {}

   2. In the NODE directory:

      During the SBT start you see something like this:

      Loading project definition from /Users/vsuharnikov/.sbt/1.0/staging/f431ce12d422de688eee/waves/project

      This is the cloned NODE directory (except the project part). To remove target directories, run:

      find /Users/vsuharnikov/.sbt/1.0/staging/f431ce12d422de688eee/waves -type d -name target | xargs -I{} rm -rf {}
      

IntelliJ IDEA

1. Worksheets may not work: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-6726 . Also make sure:

   1. You've selected the appropriate project
   2. You've checked "Make project before run"

2. The root directory name must not be like any root directory of the repository: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-15210

3. If some module disappeared after "Reimport All sbt Projects":

   1. Close the project
   2. Delete the ".idea" subdirectory of the project's directory
   3. Open it again in IntelliJ IDEA

4. Can't test Cli hides passwords in IntelliJ IDEA and sbt. System.console is inaccessible in IDE, so we created a fallback (and unsafe) way to read passwords. This is a known issue. To test Cli how it will work for users:

   1. Copy a command from the IntelliJ IDEA's "Run" tab
   2. Remove javaagent option
   3. Paste this into a terminal and run

5. IDE can't find Waves Node's classes in waves-ext. Download required artifacts manually: sbt waves-ext/downloadWavesNodeArtifacts and then reload SBT configuration in IDE.

6. If you want to run integration tests with Kafka, run the command in sbt before: set `dex-it`/Test/envVars := Map("KAFKA_SERVER" -> "kafka-host:9092")

Production recommendations

Kafka's queue

If all of these points are true:

1. You are using Kafka queue
2. Have a lot of Place and Cancel requests
3. You face issues when Consumer or Producer can't connect to Kafka

There are recommendations for the OS-related system the Matcher server runs on. Note, it is not recommended to change this options if you aren't face the issue.

1. Add these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf (the admin rights are required):

   net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 30
   net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 18196
   net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 0
   

2. To apply changes, run:

   sudo sysctl -p
   

Benchmarks

We use sbt-jmh. For more information, please read its documentation.

To run a benchmark by mask without profiling, use the command:

dex-jmh/jmh:run .*OrderBookAddBenchmark

To run with a benchmark (for example, async-profiler):

1. Make sure you have downloaded it

2. Add an additional option -prof, e.g.:

   dex-jmh/jmh:run .*OrderBookAddBenchmark -prof "jmh.extras.Async:asyncProfilerDir=/path/to/async-profiler/directory;dir=/path/to/output/directory;jfr=true"
   

JFR files could be read with jmc.

Documentation

Some internal docs could be found in the docs directory.
