Runtime Configuration Validated

Tests validate runtime/robonomics/src/xcm_config.rs:

• XcmRouter (UMP + XCMP)
• AssetsFrom
• LocationToAccountId
• XcmReserveTransferFilter
• Asset transactors

How to Use

Setup with Nix (Recommended):

# Enter devshell with all binaries
nix develop .#local-testnet

# Spawn network
cd scripts/zombienet
./spawn-network.sh

# Run tests (in separate terminal)
./run-tests.sh                 # All tests
./run-tests.sh --verbose       # Verbose output
./run-tests.sh --filter xcm    # XCM tests only

The local-testnet nix devshell provides all required binaries: zombienet, polkadot, polkadot-parachain, and robonomics.

Documentation

• README.md - Comprehensive guide with nix devshell instructions
• configs/README.md - Configuration details
• ADDING_TESTS.md - Extension guide (549 lines)
• IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Complete implementation details

Security

• ✅ CodeQL: 0 alerts
• ✅ No vulnerabilities detected
• ✅ Precision fixes applied
• ✅ Proper error handling

See IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md for complete details.

Original prompt

Overview

Add comprehensive Zombienet-based XCM tests for the Robonomics runtime in the release/4.1 branch to validate cross-chain messaging functionality.

Requirements

Create Zombienet test infrastructure in the scripts/zombienet/ directory with the following test coverage:

1. Upward Messages (UMP) Test

• Test parachain → relay chain communication
• Verify messages are properly sent from Robonomics parachain to the relay chain
• Validate message execution and event emission on relay chain
• Test various message types (transfers, transact, etc.)

2. Downward Messages (DMP) Test

• Test relay chain → parachain communication
• Verify messages are properly received by Robonomics parachain from relay chain
• Validate message execution and event emission on parachain
• Test DMP queue processing via cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue

3. XCM Relay Token Transfer Test

• Test transferring relay chain tokens (KSM/DOT) into Robonomics parachain
• Verify reserve-backed transfers work correctly
• Validate sovereign account handling
• Check balance updates on both chains
• Test the XcmReserveTransferFilter configuration

4. AssetHub Integration Test

• Test integration with AssetHub parachain for pallet-wrapped-asset
• Verify XCMP communication between Robonomics and AssetHub
• Test asset registration and wrapping functionality
• Validate bidirectional asset transfers
• Test pallet-assets integration with XCM locations

Technical Details

Zombienet Configuration

• Create network topology files for relay chain + Robonomics parachain + AssetHub
• Use appropriate relay chain (Westend for testing, matching production Kusama/Polkadot setup)
• Configure parachain ID 2048 as per ROBONOMICS_PARA_ID
• Set up proper collators and validators

Test Implementation

• Use TypeScript/JavaScript for test scripts
• Utilize @polkadot/api for chain interactions
• Include proper assertions and error handling
• Add timeouts and retry logic for network operations
• Generate detailed test reports

Runtime Configuration References

The tests should validate the XCM configuration in runtime/robonomics/src/xcm_config.rs:

• XcmRouter using UMP and XCMP
• cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::Config
• cumulus_pallet_xcmp_queue::Config
• pallet_xcm::Config
• AssetsFrom<RelayLocation> reserve asset filter
• LocationToAccountId converters
• pallet-assets integration

Dependencies

Tests should use:

• @zombienet/orchestrator or @zombienet/cli
• @polkadot/api
• @polkadot/util
• @polkadot/util-crypto
• Testing framework (Jest or Mocha)

CI Integration

• Add GitHub Actions workflow or update existing test workflow
• Run tests on pull requests to release branches
• Generate test artifacts and reports

Acceptance Criteria

• All four test categories are implemented and passing
• Tests can be run locally with clear documentation
• Network topology is properly configured
• Tests include proper assertions and error messages
• Documentation explains how to run tests and interpret results
• Tests validate the runtime's XCM configuration
• CI integration is working (if applicable)

Notes

• Ensure tests work with the runtime on the release/4.1 branch
• Tests should be maintainable and easy to extend
• Follow existing code style and conventions in the repository
• Reference existing XCM config at runtime/robonomics/src/xcm_config.rs

Reuse robonomics-local.toml

[Copilot]

Removed assethub-xcm.toml in d0cf343. The xcm-tests.toml configuration now covers all XCM test scenarios including AssetHub integration.

[akru]

Reuse robonomics-local.toml, just add trace for xcm into it

[Copilot]

Done in 5edccb2. Removed xcm-tests.toml and added -lxcm=trace to robonomics-local.toml for all nodes.

[akru]

Binaries comes from local-testnet nix devshell, let's describe it here instead of install dependencies manually.

[Copilot]

Updated in 5edccb2. README now documents the local-testnet nix devshell which provides all required binaries (zombienet, polkadot, polkadot-parachain, robonomics).

• This line number (86) appears to reference JavaScript code in a shell script file. This is likely a line numbering error in the diff or the code content doesn't match the file type.

• The method is named log.warn but the actual logger object defines warn differently than this usage suggests. Based on the logger definition, this should log with a warning symbol, which is correct, but consider documenting the logger interface or using TypeScript types to ensure consistency.

Using Math.pow(10, decimals) in toPlanck() creates a floating-point number before converting to BigInt, which can cause precision loss for large decimal values. Consider using BigInt arithmetic directly: const factor = BigInt(10) ** BigInt(decimals); const bigAmount = BigInt(amount) * factor;
