* feat: unify HTTP client creation and enable domain fronting Enhanced the base nym_http_api_client to reduce fragmentation and enable domain fronting: - Added SerializationFormat enum for explicit JSON/bincode choice (no auto-detection) - Added from_network() method to create clients from NymNetworkDetails with domain fronting - Added with_bincode() builder method for explicit serialization configuration - Set Accept header based on serialization preference - Added deprecation paths for NymApiClient wrapper and nym_api::Client re-export - Enabled domain fronting support via network defaults feature This is part of a broader effort to consolidate HTTP client implementations across the codebase, reducing ~500 lines of wrapper code and providing automatic domain fronting for censorship resistance. * feat: migrate NymApiClient usage to unified HTTP client - Wire up domain fronting configuration in NymNetworkDetails - Implement NymApiClientExt trait for base nym_http_api_client::Client - Migrate direct NymApiClient usage in multiple components: - nym-network-monitor - verloc measurements - connection tester - coconut/ecash client - validator rewarder - Add Copy derive to ApiUrlConst to enable iteration - Update error handling and Display implementations This enables automatic domain fronting for all Nym API calls via the configured CDN front hosts. * fix: resolve all compilation errors after NymApiClient migration - Add missing nym-http-api-client dependencies to multiple crates - Add NymApiClientExt trait imports where needed - Fix type mismatches from NymApiClient to unified Client - Add error conversions for NymAPIError in various error enums - Implement missing trait methods (get_current_rewarded_set, get_all_basic_nodes_with_metadata, get_all_described_nodes) - Fix type conversions for RewardedSetResponse in network monitor - Update all API client instantiation to use new unified HTTP client * feat: complete migration to unified HTTP client and fix all compilation errors - Added missing NymApiClientExt trait methods (get_all_expanded_nodes, change_base_urls) - Fixed all compilation errors across the workspace - Updated nym-node to use unified client instead of deprecated NymApiClient - Fixed type conversions for RewardedSetResponse → EpochRewardedSet - Added nym-http-api-client dependency where needed - Updated all examples and documentation to use new client API * fix: provide all API URLs for automatic failover in endpoint rotation Previously, when rotating API endpoints, only a single URL was provided to the HTTP client, defeating the purpose of having multiple URLs for resilience. Changes: - NymApiTopologyProvider now provides all URLs in rotated order when switching endpoints - NymApisClient similarly provides all URLs starting from the working endpoint - Added clarifying comments for broadcast/exhaustive query methods where single URLs are intentionally used - This enables the HTTP client's built-in failover mechanism while maintaining endpoint rotation behavior The fix ensures that if the primary endpoint fails, the client can automatically failover to alternative endpoints without manual intervention, improving overall network resilience. * Update common/client-core/src/client/base_client/mod.rs Co-authored-by: Jędrzej Stuczyński <jedrzej.stuczynski@gmail.com> * Remove error generics, address PR comments * Explicit warning on missing fronting configuration * Assorted CI fixes * Registry proc-macro * Rename macro * Syn workspace version * Where do we need to put inventory * Ergonomics and call sites, incept the builder * fix: Address critical issues in client configuration registry implementation - Fixed HeaderMapInit parsing bug that would cause compilation errors - Added comprehensive documentation with usage examples and DSL reference - Improved error handling with better error messages for invalid headers - Added test coverage for both macro and registry functionality - Added debug inspection capabilities for registered configurations - Fixed module name conflicts in tests by using separate modules All tests now passing: - 7 macro tests validating DSL parsing and code generation - 4 registry tests verifying configuration collection and application * Use default value for the ports until api is deployed * Feature/improved http error (#6025) * use display impl for urls * feat: attempt to add more details to reqwest errors * temporarily restored GenericRequestFailure variant * another restoration * cleanup * Some debug tooling, and default timeout fix * Fix user-agent override * Fix various wasm things --------- Co-authored-by: Jędrzej Stuczyński <jedrzej.stuczynski@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Bogdan-Ștefan Neacşu <bogdan@nymtech.net>
Testnet manager
This is extremely experimental tool. Only to be used internally. Expect a lot of breaking changes.
Currently (as of 11.07.24), it exposes the following commands:
build-info
Show build information of this binary. Does it need any more than that?
initialise-new-network
pre-requisites:
- you must have built all nym-contracts and put them in the same directory (just run
make contractsfrom the root directory)
Initialises new testnet network:
- attempts to retrieve paths to all .wasm files of the nym-contracts based on provided arguments
- uploads all the contracts to the specified nyxd
- creates mnemonics for all contract admins
- transfers some tokens to each created account
- instantiates all the contracts
- performs post-instantiation migration (like sets vesting contract address inside the mixnet contract)
- queries each contract and retrieves its build information to display any warnings if they were built using some ancient commits
- persists all the network info (addresses, mnemonics, etc.) in the database for future use
note: if you intend to bond-local-mixnet afterward, you want to set --custom-epoch-duration-secs to a rather low
value (like 60s)
load-network-details
Attempt to load testnet network details using either the provided name, or if nothing was specified, the latest one created.
It outputs contents of an .env file you'd use with that network.
bypass-dkg
pre-requisites:
- you must have built the
dkg-bypass contract(just runmake build-bypass-contractfrom this directory)
Attempts to bypass the DKG by overwriting the contract state with pre-generated keys:
- generates data for each specified ecash signer:
- ecash keys via a ttp
- ed25519 identity keys
- cosmos mnemonic
- validates the existing DKG contract to make sure the DKG hasn't actually already been run and checks the group contract to make sure its empty
- persists the signer data generated at the beginning
- uploads the bypass contract
- overwrites the contract state (endpoints, keys, etc.) using the uploaded contract
- restores the original DKG contract code
- adds the ecash signers to the CW4 group
- transfers some tokens to each ecash signer so they could actually execute txs
initialise-post-dkg-network
pre-requisites:
- you must have built all nym-contracts and put them in the same directory (just run
make contractsfrom the root directory) - you must have built the
dkg-bypass contract(just runmake build-bypass-contractfrom this directory)
Initialises new network and bypasses the DKG. It's just the equivalent of running initialise-new-network
and bypass-dkg separately:
- runs equivalent of
initialise-new-network - runs equivalent of
bypass-dkg
create-local-ecash-apis
pre-requisites:
- you must have built all nym-contracts and put them in the same directory (just run
make contractsfrom the root directory) - you must have built the
dkg-bypass contract(just runmake build-bypass-contractfrom this directory) - you must have built
nym-apibinary
Attempt to create brand new network, in post DKG-state, using locally running nym-apis.
- runs equivalent of
initialise-post-dkg-network, with one difference: rather than requiring you to provide api endpoints to all signers, it defaults tohttp:://127.0.0.1:X, whereX = 10000 + i, based on the number of apis specified in the args - runs
nym-api initfor all required api - copies over keys generated during
bypass-dkginto the correct path for each API, - generates an
.envfile to use in all subsequentruncommands - generates and outputs (either as raw string or
jsonif used with--output=json) run commands for each nym-api using full canonical and absolute paths (so you could paste them regardless of local directory)
bond-local-mixnet
pre-requisites:
- you must have a running network including nym-api (just run
create-local-ecash-apisand start the binaries) - the mixnet epoch must be waiting for transition (thus
--custom-epoch-duration-secsrecommendation) - you must have built
nym-nodebinary
Attempt to bond minimal local mixnet (3 mixnodes + 1 gateways) and output the run commands.
- runs
nym-node init4 times, including once inmode==entry(with credentials) - generates mnemonics for each node
- generates bonding signatures for each node
- transfers some tokens to each bond owner
- performs bonding of mixnode/gateway
- assigns all nodes to the active set by:
- starting epoch transition
- reconciling epoch events
- advancing current epoch and assigning the nodes to the set
- generates and outputs (either as raw string or
jsonif used with--output=json) run commands for each nym-node using full canonical and absolute paths (so you could paste them regardless of local directory)
create-local-client
pre-requisites:
- you must have a running MIXNET including nym-api AND nym-nodes (just run
create-local-ecash-apisfollowed bybond-local-mixnetand start the binaries) - you must have built
nym-clientbinary
Initialise a locally run nym-client, adjust its config and output the run command:
- runs
nym-client initin credentials mode - updates its config to add
minimum_mixnode_performance = 0andminimum_gateway_performance = 0thus ignoring the lack of a network monitor - generates and outputs run command for the client using full canonical and absolute paths (so you could paste it regardless of local directory)
Extra
For reference, my workflow was as follows:
note: for the very first run you'll have to explicitly provide mnemonics and nyxd
- rebuild whichever binary/contract was needed
cargo run -- create-local-ecash-apis --bypass-dkg-contract ../../../target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/dkg_bypass_contract.wasm --number-of-apis=2 --nym-api-bin ../../../target/release/nym-api --built-contracts ../../../contracts/target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release --custom-epoch-duration-secs=60- run the apis in separate terminal window
cargo run -- bond-local-mixnet --nym-node-bin ../../../target/release/nym-node- start all the nym-nodes
cargo run -- create-local-client --nym-client-bin ../../../target/debug/nym-client- usually at this point I was using
nym-clito get some ticketbooks into my client before running it with the command that was output in the previous step
