sv-light-smart-contracts

Repo for all smart contracts associated with SV Light

Compiling

Run yarn compile-sv-light to build all .bin and .abi files in _solDist for all contracts in ./svLight/contracts/

Error Handling

Error handling in solidity is annoying. For this reason most contracts going forward should only use revert, require, and assert for really super important stuff (or where state changes may have already been made and need to be reversed).

Luckily with 0.4.22 we can return strings in reverts now. (Though tooling needs to be updated as of 2018/4/19). All errors should revert and not allow the tx to go through.

Most of the time you should check a condition and emit an Error event with a status code - see ./svLight/contracts/SVCommon.sol - particularly descriptiveErrors.

Naming Conventions

Public methods (excluding the ballot box) use the following conventions:

• getters are prefixed with get, and optionally have some extra info afterwards, e.g. getD... methods are getters for various democracy data, and getG... is a getter for some global info. There are some exceptions like accountInGoodStanding.
• setters are like getters but prefixed with set
• there are also "action" methods that do something, they're prefixed with do or a letter indicating their scope, e.g. dInit inits a democracy, and dAddBallot adds a ballot to a democracy. There are some exceptions where it makes sense, e.g. payForDemocracy.

Scripts

See package.json, but you probably want to be using yarn test or yarn test-watch

Deploying SvIndex

Fresh

1. deploy SVIndexBackend and note the address
2. deploy SVIndexPaymentSettings and note address
3. (Note: you should have already deployed the admin proxy factory, the ballot box factory, and the ens everything px)
4. deploy SVLightIndex with parameters (and note the new Ix's address)
5. IxBackend address
6. PaymentSettings address
7. AdminPxFactory address
8. BallotBoxFactory address
9. ENSEverythingPx address
10. Set new Ix as editor on Backend and PaymentSettings (by calling setPermissions() then call doLockdown())
11. Set new Ix as admin on EnsEverythingPx
12. Update an ENS domains you need to.
13. Done!

Upgrading

Unless you're also upgrading any component:

1. Deploy SvLightIndex with relevant parameters (probs the same as the last Ix)
2. Run doUpgrade() on the previous Ix from the owner address (it'll do everything else)
3. Confirm by checking upgradePtr() on the old Ix

Changing Payment Settings

You'll need to interact with the paymentSettings SC used by the democIndex (this is so settings persist with SVIndexUpgrades).

Notes

Problems installing dependencies (2018-06-04)

had some problems installing dependencies of sha3 and scrypt libs after upgrading yarn via brew (because it installed node). resetting nvm via nvm install 8 && nvm alias default 8 fixed.
