Example test fails: Field "manifest" missing

[jost-s]

Running npm test in the example folder from a nix shell with nightly holochain build throws an error:

I've debugged into the (fairly complex) code and and got to the point that it happens when the client sends the message to register the test.dna to the AdminWebSocket. The response is the above error then.

I don't understand the architecture enough yet to know where the registering fails on the admin web socket. Perhaps @Connoropolous or @zo-el can see on the spot where the problem is?

@jost-s, I don't know what version of tryorama you are using, I mention this because it seems like you are using a much older version of holochain. I see you are using a DNA with .dna.gz file format. This would be created if you are still using dna-utils binary. Currently, after the hc binary release, the new file format ends with .dna or .happ.

@zo-el I have cloned the tryorama repo and run the example test as is.

My holochain version is 0.0.100

[nix-shell:~/Desktop/dev/holochain/tryorama/example]$ holochain --version
holochain 0.0.100

The tryorama version is 0.4.3

{
  "name": "@holochain/tryorama",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/holochain/tryorama"
  },
  "version": "0.4.3",
  "description": "test framework for holochain hApps",
  "main": "lib/index.js",
  "types": "lib/index.d.ts",
  "directories": {
    "test": "test"
  },

Maybe the test dna in the example folder is not up to date?

@jost-s Interesting, that looks to be an oversite. This is the new test DNA that is been used for testing tryorama. I will clean this up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[jost-s]

Not at all, @zo-el. Thanks for the hint 👌
