CI/CD Integration

CI/CD Integration

Yaci DevKit's NPM distribution makes it perfect for continuous integration and automated testing pipelines. Integrate DevKit into your CI/CD workflows to test your Cardano applications automatically.

🚀 Why Use DevKit in CI/CD?

  • ⚡ Fast Setup - DevKit starts in seconds, perfect for CI environments
  • 🔧 Zero Configuration - Works out of the box with sensible defaults
  • 🧪 Isolated Testing - Each CI run gets a fresh, clean devnet
  • 📦 NPM Distribution - Easy integration with Node.js-based CI systems

📦 NPM Distribution for CI

The NPM distribution is specifically optimized for CI/CD environments:

# Install globally
npm install -g @bloxbean/yaci-devkit

Key Advantages:

  • No Docker required - Pure Node.js/Java solution
  • Faster startup - Optimized for CI environment constraints
  • Easy integration - Standard npm package workflow
  • Cross-platform - Works on Linux x86, macOS arm64 runners

Basic GitHub Actions Workflow

name: Test with Yaci DevKit
 
on:
  push:
    branches: [ main, develop ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]
 
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
 
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
 
      - name: Setup Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20.8.0'
 
      - name: Install Yaci DevKit
        run: npm install -g @bloxbean/yaci-devkit
 
      - name: Start Yaci DevKit in background
        run: nohup  yaci-devkit up --enable-yaci-store &
 
      - name: Wait for Yaci DevKit to start
        run: |
          for i in {1..30}; do
            if nc -z localhost 8080; then
              echo "Yaci DevKit is up!"
              exit 0
            fi
            echo "Waiting for Yaci DevKit to start..."
            sleep 5
          done
          echo "Yaci DevKit failed to start" >&2
          exit 1
 
      - name: Setup JDK
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          distribution: 'temurin'
          java-version: '21'
          cache: 'maven'
 
      - name: Run Maven tests
        run: mvn test --batch-mode
 
      - name: Upload test results
        if: always()
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: test-results
          path: target/surefire-reports/

The above workflow builds a Java project and uses Yaci DevKit for testing. The same workflow pattern can be adapted for testing Cardano applications in any language.
