Test Blob Txs¶

Documentation for tests/cancun/eip4844_blobs/test_blob_txs.py.

Generate fixtures for these test cases for Cancun with:

Cancun only:

fill -v tests/cancun/eip4844_blobs/test_blob_txs.py --fork=Cancun --evm-bin=/path/to/evm-tool-dev-version

For all forks up to and including Cancun:

fill -v tests/cancun/eip4844_blobs/test_blob_txs.py --until=Cancun --evm-bin=/path/to/evm-tool-dev-version

Tests blob type transactions for EIP-4844: Shard Blob Transactions

Test blob type transactions for EIP-4844: Shard Blob Transactions.

Adding a new test

Add a function that is named test_<test_name> and takes at least the following arguments:

blockchain_test
pre
env
blocks

All other pytest.fixture fixtures can be parametrized to generate new combinations and test cases.

`Spec` `dataclass` ¶

Parameters from the EIP-4844 specifications as defined at https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4844#parameters

`test_valid_blob_tx_combinations(blockchain_test, pre, env, blocks)` ¶

Test all valid blob combinations in a single block, assuming a given value of MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK.

This assumes a block can include from 1 and up to MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK transactions where all transactions contain at least 1 blob, and the sum of all blobs in a block is at most MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK.

This test is parametrized with all valid blob transaction combinations for a given block, and therefore if value of MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK changes, this test is automatically updated.
