Using dev mode ============== Normally chaincodes are started and maintained by peer. However in “dev mode", chaincode is built and started by the user. This mode is useful during chaincode development phase for rapid code/build/run/debug cycle turnaround. We start "dev mode" by leveraging pre-generated orderer and channel artifacts for a sample dev network. As such, the user can immediately jump into the process of compiling chaincode and driving calls. Install Fabric Samples ---------------------- If you haven't already done so, please `install samples `_. Navigate to the ``chaincode-docker-devmode`` directory of the ``fabric-samples`` clone: .. code:: bash cd chaincode-docker-devmode Download docker images ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We need four docker images in order for "dev mode" to run against the supplied docker compose script. If you installed the ``fabric-samples`` repo clone and followed the instructions to `install samples, binaries and docker images `_, then you should have the necessary Docker images installed locally. .. note:: If you choose to manually pull the images then you must retag them as ``latest``. Issue a ``docker images`` command to reveal your local Docker Registry. You should see something similar to following: .. code:: bash docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE hyperledger/fabric-tools latest c584c20ac82b 9 days ago 1.42 GB hyperledger/fabric-tools x86_64-1.1.0-preview c584c20ac82b 9 days ago 1.42 GB hyperledger/fabric-orderer latest 2fccc91736df 9 days ago 159 MB hyperledger/fabric-orderer x86_64-1.1.0-preview 2fccc91736df 9 dyas ago 159 MB hyperledger/fabric-peer latest 337f3d90b452 9 days ago 165 MB hyperledger/fabric-peer x86_64-1.1.0-preview 337f3d90b452 9 days ago 165 MB hyperledger/fabric-ccenv latest 82489d1c11e8 9 days ago 1.35 GB hyperledger/fabric-ccenv x86_64-1.1.0-preview 82489d1c11e8 9 days ago 1.35 GB .. note:: If you retrieved the images through the `install samples, binaries and docker images `_, then you will see additional images listed. However, we are only concerned with these four. Now open three terminals and navigate to your ``chaincode-docker-devmode`` directory in each. Terminal 1 - Start the network ------------------------------ .. code:: bash docker-compose -f docker-compose-simple.yaml up The above starts the network with the ``SingleSampleMSPSolo`` orderer profile and launches the peer in "dev mode". It also launches two additional containers - one for the chaincode environment and a CLI to interact with the chaincode. The commands for create and join channel are embedded in the CLI container, so we can jump immediately to the chaincode calls. .. note:: TLS is not enabled as it is not supported when running chaincode in dev mode. Terminal 2 - Build & start the chaincode ---------------------------------------- .. code:: bash docker exec -it chaincode bash You should see the following: .. code:: bash root@d2629980e76b:/opt/gopath/src/chaincode# Now, compile your chaincode: .. code:: bash cd abstore/go go build -o abstore Now run the chaincode: .. code:: bash CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME=mycc:0 CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED=false ./abstore -peer.address peer:7052 The chaincode is started with peer and chaincode logs indicating successful registration with the peer. Note that at this stage the chaincode is not associated with any channel. This is done in subsequent steps using the ``instantiate`` command. Terminal 3 - Use the chaincode ------------------------------ Even though you are in ``--peer-chaincodedev`` mode, you still have to install the chaincode so the life-cycle system chaincode can go through its checks normally. This requirement may be removed in future when in ``--peer-chaincodedev`` mode. We'll leverage the CLI container to drive these calls. .. code:: bash docker exec -it cli bash .. code:: bash peer chaincode install -p chaincodedev/chaincode/abstore/go -n mycc -v 0 peer chaincode instantiate -n mycc -v 0 -c '{"Args":["init","a","100","b","200"]}' -C myc Now issue an invoke to move ``10`` from ``a`` to ``b``. .. code:: bash peer chaincode invoke -n mycc -c '{"Args":["invoke","a","b","10"]}' -C myc Finally, query ``a``. We should see a value of ``90``. .. code:: bash peer chaincode query -n mycc -c '{"Args":["query","a"]}' -C myc Testing new chaincode --------------------- By default, we mount only ``abstore``. However, you can easily test different chaincodes by adding them to the ``chaincode`` subdirectory and relaunching your network. At this point they will be accessible in your ``chaincode`` container. .. Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
