WIP: Support compiled tests #28

Closed flaviofernandes004 closed 2 years ago

flaviofernandes004 commented 4 years ago

Here is the plan:

[x] Change the transaction configuration to allow one to provide a path to a binary containing a struct implementing the transaction interface
[x] Change the cli to recognize the binary path when it's provided and sent it to the server
[x] Persist the binary in the file system for later execution
[ ] Change server to load the binary using the plugin package and execute the compiled test
[ ] Add integrity verification on the binary content

Just a quick note on this one, the test payload must be stored and shipped to the executor by the server. Let me know if you want to discuss this more in depth. Good work!

True, I could load the binary and propagate it to the worker through HTTP but Is letting them share a volume to store the test binary(plugin) a problem? Yeah, probably, it isn't that convenient for every user of Replicant.

We could improve on that and let the executors cache the test locally once loaded, or expose some of the store functionality over the server api for the executors.
