Run aave test suite locally on ganache [Change network hardhat to ganache]

Question

This is aave protocol v2: https://github.com/aave/protocol-v2

They have a built-in test suite. Running npm run test runs all the tests cases properly. But this runs on hardhat node. I need to change the network to ganache. Can't find the configuration codes to run on ganache.

Any idea where or on which file I can change the network configuration? Any hint would save my day. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Option 1

If you don't want to manually start and stop Ganache every time, you can use the hardhat-ganache plugin.

This plugin creates a network called ganache, and automatically starts and stops Ganache before and after running your tests and scripts.

o use it, you have to install it with npm

npm install --save-dev @nomiclabs/hardhat-ganache

and add this line at the beginning of your hardhat.config.js

require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-ganache");

Finally, you can run your tests with

npx hardhat --network ganache test

Option 2 In your hardhat.config file include the ganache info in the networks part:

module.exports = {
  defaultNetwork: "ganache",
  networks: {
    ganache: {
      gasLimit: 6000000000,
      defaultBalanceEther: 10,
    },
  },
};

Finally, you can run your tests with

npx hardhat test --network ganache
