# Complete Fork Testing Guide - "Root to Toot"

**End-to-End Contract Interaction Testing on Arbitrum Fork**

## Overview

This guide provides complete instructions for testing the entire MEV bot contract interaction flow from deployment to arbitrage execution on an Arbitrum fork environment.

## Testing Philosophy: "Root to Toot"

"Root to Toot" means we test **everything**:
1. **Root**: Contract compilation and deployment
2. **Stem**: Contract configuration and initialization
3. **Branches**: Individual contract methods and interactions
4. **Leaves**: Edge cases and error handling
5. **Toot** (Fruit): Full end-to-end arbitrage execution with profit

## Prerequisites

### Required Tools
- [x] Foundry (forge 1.0.0-stable or later)
- [x] Go 1.24+
- [x] abigen (go-ethereum tool)
- [x] jq (JSON processor)
- [x] Arbitrum RPC access

### Environment Setup

```bash
# Set Arbitrum RPC endpoint
export ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT="https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc"
export ARBITRUM_WS_ENDPOINT="wss://arb1.arbitrum.io/ws"

# Set private key for testing (use a test key with no real funds)
export PRIVATE_KEY="your_test_private_key_here"

# Optional: Set gas price limits
export GAS_PRICE="0.1"  # gwei
export GAS_LIMIT="5000000"
```

## Phase 1: Contract Compilation & Binding Generation

### Step 1.1: Compile Solidity Contracts

```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/Mev-Alpha

# Clean previous builds
forge clean

# Compile all contracts (takes 2-3 minutes for 108 files)
forge build

# Verify compilation
ls -la out/

# You should see directories like:
# - ArbitrageExecutor.sol/
# - BaseFlashSwapper.sol/
# - UniswapV3FlashSwapper.sol/
# etc.
```

**Success Criteria**:
- All 108 files compile without errors
- `out/` directory contains `.json` artifacts for each contract
- No compilation warnings for critical contracts

### Step 1.2: Generate Go Bindings

```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta

# Run binding generation script
./scripts/generate-bindings.sh

# Expected output:
# - Bindings generated for ArbitrageExecutor
# - Bindings generated for BaseFlashSwapper
# - Bindings generated for UniswapV3FlashSwapper
# - Bindings generated for IArbitrage
# - Bindings generated for IFlashSwapper
# - etc.
```

**Success Criteria**:
- `bindings/` directory populated with `.go` files
- All bindings compile: `go build ./bindings/...`
- No import errors after `go mod tidy`

### Step 1.3: Verify Bindings

```bash
# Check binding structure
ls -R bindings/

# Expected structure:
# bindings/
# ├── contracts/
# │   ├── arbitrageexecutor.go
# │   ├── baseflashswapper.go
# │   ├── uniswapv3flashswapper.go
# │   └── ...
# ├── interfaces/
# │   ├── arbitrage.go
# │   └── flash_swapper.go
# ├── utils/
# │   └── dexmath.go
# └── addresses.go

# Compile bindings
go build ./bindings/...

# Run module tidy
go mod tidy
```

## Phase 2: Solidity Fork Testing (Foundry)

### Step 2.1: Deploy and Test with Forge Script

```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/Mev-Alpha

# Run deployment and testing script on Arbitrum fork
forge script script/DeployAndTest.s.sol \
  --fork-url $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT \
  --broadcast \
  -vvvv

# This will:
# 1. Deploy all contracts to the fork
# 2. Configure contracts (authorize callers, DEXes, pools)
# 3. Run 7 comprehensive tests:
#    - DataFetcher batch pool data retrieval
#    - Flash swap fee calculation
#    - Authorization checks
#    - Swap selector validation
#    - Emergency timelock system
#    - Flash loan limits
#    - ERC165 interface support
```

**Expected Output**:
```

**Save the deployed contract addresses!** You'll need them for Go testing.

### Step 2.2: Update Contract Addresses

```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta

# Edit bindings/addresses.go with deployed addresses
vim bindings/addresses.go

# Update the addresses from the deployment output:
# ArbitrageExecutorAddress     = common.HexToAddress("0x...")
# UniswapV3FlashSwapperAddress = common.HexToAddress("0x...")
# etc.
```

## Phase 3: Go Integration Testing

### Step 3.1: Run Integration Tests

```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta

# Run integration tests (not in short mode)
go test ./tests/integration -v -timeout 30m

# This runs:
# - TestForkContractDeployment
# - TestForkFlashSwapFeeCalculation
# - TestForkArbitrageCalculation
# - TestForkDataFetcher

### Step 3.2: Specific Test Scenarios

#### Test Scenario 1: Flash Swap Fee Accuracy

```bash
# Test flash swap fees for different pool tiers
go test ./tests/integration -run TestForkFlashSwapFeeCalculation -v

# Validates:
# - 0.01% fee tier: 100 USDC → 1000 fee (in smallest unit)
# - 0.05% fee tier: 100 USDC → 5000 fee
# - 0.3% fee tier: 100 USDC → 30000 fee
# - 1% fee tier: 100 USDC → 100000 fee
```

#### Test Scenario 2: Arbitrage Profit Calculation

```bash
# Test arbitrage profit calculations
go test ./tests/integration -run TestForkArbitrageCalculation -v

# Validates:
# - Profit calculation for 2-hop arbitrage
# - Profit calculation for triangular arbitrage
# - Fee accounting (DEX fees + gas)
# - Slippage protection
```

#### Test Scenario 3: Full Arbitrage Execution

```bash
# Test complete arbitrage flow
go test ./tests/integration -run TestForkEndToEndArbitrage -v -timeout 10m

# Validates:
# - Contract deployment
# - Configuration (authorization, pools)
# - Token funding
# - Arbitrage execution
# - Profit verification
# - Event emission
```

## Phase 4: MEV Bot Integration Testing

### Step 4.1: Run Bot with Fork

```bash
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta

# Build the bot
go build -o mev-bot ./cmd/mev-bot

# Run with fork configuration
ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT=$ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT \
ARBITRUM_WS_ENDPOINT=$ARBITRUM_WS_ENDPOINT \
LOG_LEVEL=debug \
PROVIDER_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/config/providers_runtime.yaml \
./mev-bot start --dry-run

# The bot should:
# 1. Connect to Arbitrum fork
# 2. Load contract addresses from config
# 3. Initialize bindings
# 4. Monitor for arbitrage opportunities
# 5. Calculate profitability
# 6. (Dry-run mode: don't execute, just log)
```

**Expected Log Output**:
```

```

### Step 4.2: Test Bot Contract Interactions

```bash
# Test specific bot components using bindings
cd /home/administrator/projects/mev-beta

# Test pool data fetching
go test ./pkg/uniswap -run TestPoolStateWithBindings -v

# Test arbitrage detection
go test ./pkg/arbitrage -run TestDetectionWithBindings -v

# Test transaction building
go test ./pkg/arbitrum -run TestTxBuildingWithBindings -v
```

## Phase 6: Performance & Load Testing

### Performance Benchmarks

```bash
# Benchmark contract calls
go test ./tests/integration -bench=BenchmarkContractCalls -benchmem

# Expected results:
# BenchmarkFlashSwapFeeCalculation-8    1000    1234567 ns/op    456 B/op    12 allocs/op
# BenchmarkArbitrageCalculation-8       500     2345678 ns/op    789 B/op    18 allocs/op
# BenchmarkDataFetcherBatch-8           200     5678901 ns/op    1234 B/op   45 allocs/op
```

### Load Testing

```bash
# Simulate high-frequency arbitrage detection
go test ./tests/load -run TestHighFrequencyArbitrage -v

# Simulates:
# - 1000 swap events per second
# - 100 concurrent arbitrage calculations
# - 50 concurrent transaction simulations
# - Measures throughput and latency
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Forge build hangs on compilation

**Solution**:
```bash
# Kill any hanging processes
pkill -f forge

# Clean and rebuild
forge clean
rm -rf cache/ out/
forge build --force
```

### Issue: Binding generation fails

**Solution**:
```bash
# Check if artifacts exist
ls -la out/ArbitrageExecutor.sol/

# Verify jq can parse JSON
jq . out/ArbitrageExecutor.sol/ArbitrageExecutor.json | head

# Manually generate one binding
abigen \
  --abi <(jq -r '.abi' out/ArbitrageExecutor.sol/ArbitrageExecutor.json) \
  --pkg contracts \
  --type ArbitrageExecutor \
  --out test_binding.go
```

### Issue: Go tests fail with "contract not found"

**Solution**:
1. Verify RPC endpoint is accessible: `curl $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'`
2. Check contract addresses in `bindings/addresses.go`
3. Redeploy contracts if needed

### Issue: Arbitrage execution reverts

**Common Causes**:
1. Insufficient balance for gas
2. Pool not authorized
3. Slippage too high
4. Swap selector not whitelisted
5. Unauthorized caller

**Debug**:
```bash
# Enable transaction tracing
forge script script/DeployAndTest.s.sol \
  --fork-url $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT \
  --broadcast \
  -vvvvv  # Extra verbosity

# Check authorization
cast call $ARB_EXECUTOR_ADDRESS "authorizedCallers(address)(bool)" $YOUR_ADDRESS --rpc-url $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT

# Check pool authorization
cast call $ARB_EXECUTOR_ADDRESS "authorizedDEXes(address)(bool)" $POOL_ADDRESS --rpc-url $ARBITRUM_RPC_ENDPOINT
```
