DEX

Decentralized exchange for Acryl 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

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 cask install java sbt@1

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 git@github.com:acrylplatform/dex.git acryl-dex
cd acryl-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

Note, that the configuration changes are required before run the Node with DEX.

DEB

1. You need to install Node with DEB
2. Then you can install DEX: sudo dpkg -i deb-artifact.deb

TGZ

To install just extract DEX's tgz artifact to the directory with Node's jar. To run:

Debian/Ubuntu:

java <your_JVM_options> -cp "/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/acryl-all.jar:/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/lib/*" com.acrylplatform.Application

Windows:

java <your_JVM_options> -cp "/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/acryl-all.jar;/absolute_path_to_fat_jar/lib/*" com.acrylplatform.Application

7. Configuration

Update your configuration to enable DEX:

# ... here many lines of your Node's configuration
 
acryl.extensions = [
  "com.acrylplatform.dex.Matcher"
  # ... here may be other extensions
]
 
acryl.dex {
  account = "3Q5GKPLkxXcEwGv6d57v8aksTjh1igHNNDd" # This account must be known at the Node, e.g. created through POST /addresses
  # bind-address = "0.0.0.0" # uncomment this line to accept connections from any host
}

8. 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.acrylplatform.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.

9. Useful commands

In SBT.

Generate documentation

sbt "dex/runMain com.acrylplatform.dex.MatcherTool /path/to/config gen-docs /path/to/output/docs/dir"

10. 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: acryl 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/name/.sbt/1.0/staging/f431ce12d422de688eee/acryl/project

      This is the cloned NODE directory (except the project part). To remove target directories, run:

      find /Users/name/.sbt/1.0/staging/f431ce12d422de688eee/acryl -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
