config.json is not actually used

[derekchiang]

Not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but config.json doesn't seem to be actually used anywhere other than in tests. However, the README seems to imply that config.json actually does something:

To deploy your own TCR, first open up `conf/config.json`...

On that note: there isn't actually a way to automatically deploy a TCR, is there? When I run truffle migrate, only the factories are deployed. Wouldn't I have to manually call the factory functions to create TCRs?

This is all good; it's just that the README makes it sound like there's a way to just edit config.json and have a TCR automatically deployed, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

@derekchiang , you're correct -- the config.json at the moment isn't very useful. prior to our recent factory/proxy refactoring, we were using the config file during migrations. lately i've been using a custom external script to deploy proxies, but have yet to merge it into this repo. here's the snippet:

command: truffle exec --network [network] ./scripts/deploy_proxies.js

/scripts/deploy_proxies.js

/* global artifacts */
const fs = require('fs');

const RegistryFactory = artifacts.require('./RegistryFactory.sol');

const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('../conf/config.json'));
const paramConfig = config.paramDefaults;

module.exports = (callback) => {
  async function deployRegistry() {
    const registryFactory = await RegistryFactory.at('0xcc0df91b86795f21c3d43dbeb3ede0dfcf8dccaf'); // address of registry factory for current network
    const registryReceipt = await registryFactory.newRegistryWithToken(
      config.token.supply,
      config.token.name,
      config.token.decimals,
      config.token.symbol,
      [
        paramConfig.minDeposit,
        paramConfig.pMinDeposit,
        paramConfig.applyStageLength,
        paramConfig.pApplyStageLength,
        paramConfig.commitStageLength,
        paramConfig.pCommitStageLength,
        paramConfig.revealStageLength,
        paramConfig.pRevealStageLength,
        paramConfig.dispensationPct,
        paramConfig.pDispensationPct,
        paramConfig.voteQuorum,
        paramConfig.pVoteQuorum,
      ],
      config.name,
    );

    const {
      token,
      plcr,
      parameterizer,
      registry,
    } = registryReceipt.logs[0].args;

    console.log('\n');
    console.log('token:', token);
    console.log('voting:', plcr);
    console.log('parameterizer', parameterizer);
    console.log('registry:', registry);
    console.log('\n');

    return true;
  }

  deployRegistry().then(() => callback());
}
