From 902bbb76b7938ebaf32da8d5e6481f90d733d7f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: coderolisa Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:16:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add event schema compatibility testing foundation - Add historical event fixtures for schema version 1 - Create compatibility tests to validate event structures - Implement tests for breaking change detection - Add documentation for compatibility testing approach This establishes the foundation (2%) for ensuring changes to event structures don't unintentionally break listener decoders or external consumers. Fixtures cover 5 critical events: - NotificationScheduled - NotificationRevoked - NotificationExpired - AutoshareCreated - BatchNotificationsCreated Tests verify: - Schema compatibility between contract and consumer - Historical fixture structure validity - Breaking change detection mechanisms --- listener/EVENT_SCHEMA_COMPATIBILITY.md | 196 +++++++++++++++ .../event-schema-compatibility.test.ts | 233 ++++++++++++++++++ .../src/test-fixtures/historical-events.ts | 145 +++++++++++ 3 files changed, 574 insertions(+) create mode 100644 listener/EVENT_SCHEMA_COMPATIBILITY.md create mode 100644 listener/src/__tests__/event-schema-compatibility.test.ts create mode 100644 listener/src/test-fixtures/historical-events.ts diff --git a/listener/EVENT_SCHEMA_COMPATIBILITY.md b/listener/EVENT_SCHEMA_COMPATIBILITY.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1d5a9db8 --- /dev/null +++ b/listener/EVENT_SCHEMA_COMPATIBILITY.md @@ -0,0 +1,196 @@ +## Event Schema Compatibility Testing + +## Overview + +This document describes the approach for verifying that changes to event structures do not unintentionally break listener decoders or external consumers in the Notify-Chain system. + +## Problem Statement + +Event structures emitted by smart contracts can evolve over time. Changes might include: +- Adding new fields +- Removing fields +- Changing field types +- Reordering topics +- Modifying field names + +External consumers (listeners, indexers, dashboards) depend on specific event shapes. Breaking changes can cause: +- Decode failures +- Data loss +- Runtime errors +- Silent misinterpretation of events + +## Solution: Historical Fixture Testing + +### Architecture + +The compatibility testing system consists of three components: + +#### 1. Historical Event Fixtures (`src/test-fixtures/historical-events.ts`) + +Representative event payloads from different schema versions. Each fixture includes: +- **version**: Schema version number +- **eventName**: Name of the event type +- **topics**: Array of indexed topic values +- **data**: Event data fields +- **description**: Human-readable description + +```typescript +export const HISTORICAL_EVENTS_V1 = { + notificationScheduled: { + version: 1, + eventName: 'NotificationScheduled', + topics: ['creator_address', '3', '1'], + data: { + notification_id: 'aabbccdd...', + payload_version: 1, + }, + description: 'Initial notification scheduling event', + }, + // ... more fixtures +}; +``` + +#### 2. Schema Compatibility Checker (`src/schema/compatibility-check.ts`) + +Validates contract events against consumer expectations: +- **`extractContractEvents`**: Parses Rust event definitions from source +- **`loadConsumerSchema`**: Loads JSON schema of expected events +- **`checkSchemaCompatibility`**: Compares contract vs consumer schemas + +Detects: +- Missing events +- Removed/reordered topics +- Type changes +- Missing/renamed fields + +Returns: +- **breakingChanges**: Array of incompatible modifications +- **safeAdditions**: Array of backward-compatible additions +- **compatible**: Boolean indicating overall compatibility + +#### 3. Compatibility Tests (`src/__tests__/event-schema-compatibility.test.ts`) + +Automated tests that: +1. Load current contract events and consumer schema +2. Verify schema compatibility (no breaking changes) +3. Validate historical fixtures have correct structure +4. Ensure critical events have fixtures +5.
