type michelson_program

A type for code that is compiled to Michelson.

type michelson_contract

A type for Michelson compiled contracts.

type test_exec_error_balance_too_low = { contract_balance : tez , contract_too_low : address , spend_request : tez }
type test_exec_error = ["Rejected", michelson_program, address] | ["Balance_too_low", test_exec_error_balance_too_low] | ["Other", string]

A test error:

  • The Rejected case means the called contract or its transitive callees (identified by the address in the second constructor argument) failed with some data (first constructor argument)
  • The Balance_too_low case means a contract tried to push an operation but did not have enough balance. contract_too_low is the address of the contract, contract_balance is the actual balance of the contract and spend_request is the amount of tez that was required for the operation
  • The Other case wraps all the other possible reasons. Its argument is a string representation of the tezos_client error
type test_exec_result = ["Success", nat] | ["Fail", test_exec_error]

A test execution result:

  • The Success case means the transaction went through without an issue. Its argument represent the total amount of gas consumed by the transaction
  • The "Fail reason" case means something went wrong. Its argument encode the causes of the failure (see type test_exec_error)
type test_baker_policy = ["By_round", int] | ["By_account", address] | ["Excluding", list<address>]

A test baking policy as used by the underlying testing helpers. The case By_account is the standard one, as used by Test.set_baker. Policies to select the next baker (taken from test helpers documentation):

  • By_round r selects the baker at round r
  • By_account pkh selects the first slot for baker pkh
  • Excluding pkhs selects the first baker that doesn't belong to pkhs
