DEX

Decentralized exchange for Waves Node.

In the master branch there is a code with functions that is under development. The latest release for each network can be found in the Releases section, you can switch to the corresponding tag and build the application.

For further information please refer the official documentation.

How to Build and Test

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

1. A DEB file is recommended way to install DEX 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 [e-mail]:wavesplatform/dex.git waves-dex
cd waves-dex

NOTE: the directory name must not be "dex" if you work in IntelliJ IDEA, see Known issues.

3. Compilation and unit tests

sbt checkPR

4. Running DEX 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

sbt -Dnetwork=testnet packageAll

6. Installing and running

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

1. First of all, you need an installed Node.
2. Then you need to install a DEX extension to the Node and update its configuration. This is a bridge between the DEX server and the Node.
3. Next you should install DEX server and properly configure it.
4. Run the Node, wait until it will be up with the network.
5. Run the DEX.

6.1. Node installation

See instructions in their documentation.

6.2. DEX extension installation and configuration

Artifacts of DEX extension have names like waves-dex-integration{supported-network}{version}.{deb|zip}.

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.

b. 🗜 Installation through ZIP

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

To install a DEX 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 DEX 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

📃 Configration of DEX extension

Add lines to the Node's configuration:

waves.extensions += "com.wavesplatform.dex.grpc.integration.DEXExtension"

waves.dex {
  # gRPC integration settings for Waves Node
  grpc.integration {
    host = "127.0.0.1" # "0.0.0.0" if the DEX server connects to the DEX extension from other machine 
    port = 6887
  }
}

6.3. DEX server installation and configuration

Artifacts of DEX extension have names like dex{supported-network}{version}.{deb|zip}.

a. 📦 Installation through DEB

sudo dpkg -i deb-artifact.deb

b. 🗜 Installation through ZIP

To install a DEX server from ZIP file, just extract it.

To run:

Debian/Ubuntu/macOS:

/path/to/dex/directory/bin/waves-dex <your_JVM_options> /path/to/config.conf

Windows:

/path/to/dex/directory/bin/waves-dex.bat <your_JVM_options> /path/to/config.conf

📃 Configuration of DEX server

1. There is an example of configuration in the "doc" directory. You need to update the DEX's server configuration or create a new one in (for example, conf/dex.conf):

   # ... here many lines of your DEX's configuration
   waves.dex {
     directory = "/full/path/to/base/dex/directory"
     # rest-api.bind-address = "0.0.0.0" # uncomment this line to accept connections from any host
   
     grpc.integration.waves-node-grpc {
       host = "127.0.0.1" # Or IP of Waves-DEX gRPC server
       port = 6887
     }
   }

2. Generate an account storage and update your configuration.

7. 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.

8. CLI

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

• Generating an account storage (required to run DEX server);
• Generating an account seed by base seed, and printing useful information about it;

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

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

8.1. Generating account storage

Example:

./bin/waves-dex-cli create-account-storage --address-scheme W --seed-format base64 --account-nonce 3 --output-directory /Users/vsuharnikov/work/waves/dex-backend/_local/runtime/grpc-test/dex

here:

• W is mainnet;
• --account-nonce 3 - we suppose you will provide a base seed and DEX 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 DEX server configuration. Note, the shown settings contain a placeholder for your raw password, insert a real password to your configuration!

9. 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 DEX 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 "dex" (or other module name): https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-15210

3. If the "dex" project 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

11. Contributor notes

Branches

• master is a developers' branch;
• DEX-XXX is a feature or a bug fix branch;
• version-XXX is a stable branch for bug fixes;

A new release is tagged to the commit in a master branch. If there is a bug:

1. The version-XXX branch is created from this tag;
2. The fix is committed to this branch;
3. When all fixes are done, a new tag is created;

Publishing a new release

1. Building artifacts:

2. Switch to the right branch. For example, this is the first release for a new version:

   git checkout master && git pull origin master

3. Create a new tag and push it to the remote repository. For example, the version is v1.0.0:

   git tag v1.0.0 && git push origin v1.0.0

4. Prepare a release with SBT: sbt "release" . There will files in target/release:

   • A draft for release notes in the Markdown format: release-notes.md;
   • Other documentation in the Markdown format (md-files);
   • Artifacts with deb, tgz and other extensions;

5. Publishing a release on GitHub:

6. Open the project page and click on Releases.

7. Click on Draft a new release.

   1. Choose the pushed tag;
   2. Write a header, for example "Version 1.0.0";
   3. Paste the draft release-notes.md and edit it;
   4. Attach built artifacts (except devnet artifacts).

8. Click on publish.

9. Update the errors' documentation in Wiki.
