cw-orchestrator

Speed up your development with cw-orchestrator

Introduction

cw-orchestrator is the most advanced scripting, testing, and deployment framework for CosmWasm smart-contracts. It makes it easy to write cross-environment compatible code for cw-multi-test, Osmosis Test Tube, Starship (alpha), and live networks, significantly reducing code duplication and test-writing time.

Get ready to change the way you interact with contracts. The following steps will allow you to write clean code such as:

counter.upload()?;
counter.instantiate(&InstantiateMsg { count: 0 }, None, &[])?;

counter.increment()?;

let count = counter.get_count()?;
assert_eq!(count.count, 1);

In this quick-start guide, we will review the necessary steps in order to integrate cw-orch into a simple contract crate. We review integration of rust-workspaces (multiple contracts) at the end of this page.

NOTE: Additional content

If you're moving quicker than everybody else, we suggest looking at a before-after review of this example integration. This will help you catch the additions you need to make to your contract to be able to interact with it using cw-orchestrator.

Single Contract Integration

Adding cw-orch to your Cargo.toml file

To use cw-orchestrator, you need to add cw-orch to your contract's TOML file. Run the command below in your contract's directory:

Alternatively, you can add it manually in your Cargo.toml file as shown below:

NOTE: Even if you include cw-orch in your dependencies here, it won't be included in your wasm contract.

Creating an Interface

When using a single contract, we advise creating an interface.rs file inside your contract's directory. You then need to add this module to your lib.rs file. This file should not be included inside you final wasm. In order to do that, you need to add #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))] when importing the file.

Then, inside that interface.rs file, you can define the interface for your contract:

Learn more about the content of the interface creation specifics in the official cw-orchdocumentation

NOTE: It can be useful to re-export this struct to simplify usage (in lib.rs):

Interaction helpers

cw-orchestrator provides a additional macros that simplify contract calls and queries. The macro implements functions on the interface for each variant of the contract's ExecuteMsg and QueryMsg.

Enabling this functionality is very straightforward. Find your ExecuteMsg and QueryMsg definitions (in msg.rs in our example) and add the ExecuteFns and QueryFns derive macros to them like below:

Make sure to derive the #[derive(cosmwasm_schema::QueryResponses)] macro on your query messages !

Find out more about the interaction helpers in the official cw-orchdocumentation

NOTE: Again, it can be useful to re-export these generated traits to simplify usage (in lib.rs):

Using the integration

Now that all the setup is done, you can use your contract in tests, integration-tests or scripts.

Start by importing your crate, in your [dev-dependencies] for instance:

You can now use:

Integration in a workspace

In this paragraph, we will use the cw-plus repository as an example. You can review:

Handling dependencies

When using workspaces, you need to add cw-orch as a dependency on all crates that include ExecuteMsg and QueryMsg used in your contracts. You then add the #[derive(ExecuteFns)] and #[derive(QueryFns)] macros to those messages.

Refer above to Adding cw-orch to your Cargo.toml file for more details on how to do that.

For instance, for the cw20_base contract, you need to execute those 2 steps on the cw20-base contract (where the QueryMsg are defined) as well as on the cw20 package (where the ExecuteMsg are defined).

Creating an interface crate

When using workspace, we advise you to create a new crate inside your workspace for defining your contract's interfaces. In order to do that, use:

Add the interface package to your workspace Cargo.toml file

Inside this interface crate, we advise to integrate all your contracts 1 by 1 in separate files. Here is the structure of the cw-plus integration for reference:

When importing your crates to get the messages types, you can use the following command in the interface folder.

Integrating single contracts

Now that you workspace is setup, you can integrate with single contracts using the above section
