# Developing and debuging chaincode

Publishing a chaincode Docker image and using the image digest to deploy the chaincode works well with the [Fabric chaincode lifecycle](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chaincode_lifecycle.html), however it is not as convenient while developing and debugging chaincode.

This tutorial describes how to deploy and debug the same chaincode using the chaincode-as-a-service builder and the [fabric-samples](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/) nano test network.

TODO: see also...
https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/blob/main/test-network/CHAINCODE_AS_A_SERVICE_TUTORIAL.md

First create a directory to download all the required files and run the demo.

```shell
mkdir hlf-debug-demo
cd hlf-debug-demo
```

Now follow the steps below to deploy your first smart contract using the k8s builder!

## Download the nano test network

Download the sample nano test network (fabric-samples isn't tagged so we'll use a known good commit).

```shell
export FABRIC_SAMPLES_COMMIT=0db64487e5e89a81d68e6871af3f0907c67e7d75
curl -sSL "https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/archive/${FABRIC_SAMPLES_COMMIT}.tar.gz" | tar -xzf - --strip-components=1 fabric-samples-${FABRIC_SAMPLES_COMMIT}/test-network-nano-bash
```

## Install the Fabric binaries

TODO: ... if they're not already in your path!

```shell
curl -sSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/fabric/main/scripts/install-fabric.sh && chmod +x install-fabric.sh
./install-fabric.sh binary
```

## Update chaincode-as-a-service builder configuration

The sample `core.yaml` file needs to be updated with the correct chaincode-as-a-service builder location since it assumes that the peer is running in a docker container. Either edit the `path` for the `ccaas_builder` in `externalBuilders`, or use the following [yq](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq) command.

```shell
yq -i '( .chaincode.externalBuilders[] | select(.name == "ccaas_builder") | .path ) = strenv(PWD) + "/builders/ccaas"' config/core.yaml
```

## Start the nano test network

```shell
cd test-network-nano-bash
./network.sh start
```

## Deploy a sample contract

With chaincode-as-a-service you still have to go through the chaincode lifecycle once to tell Fabric where the chaincode is running but after that you can stop, restart, update, and debug the chaincode all without needing to repeat the chaincode lifecycle steps as you would do normally.
This is unlikely to be acceptable in a production environment but it is ideal in a development environment.

```shell
cat << CONNECTIONJSON_EOF > connection.json
{
"address": "127.0.0.1:9999",
"dial_timeout": "10s",
"tls_required": false
}
CONNECTIONJSON_EOF
```

```shell
cat << METADATAJSON_EOF > metadata.json
{
"type": "ccaas",
"label": "dev-contract"
}
METADATAJSON_EOF
```

```shell
tar -czf code.tar.gz connection.json
tar -czf dev-contract.tgz metadata.json code.tar.gz
```



```shell
cd test-network-nano-bash
. ./peer1admin.sh
peer channel list
```

```shell
peer lifecycle chaincode install ../dev-contract.tgz
```

Set the CHAINCODE_ID environment variable for use in subsequent commands:

```shell
export CHAINCODE_ID=$(peer lifecycle chaincode calculatepackageid ../dev-contract.tgz) && echo $CHAINCODE_ID
```

```shell
peer lifecycle chaincode approveformyorg -o 127.0.0.1:6050 --channelID mychannel --name dev-contract --version 1 --package-id $CHAINCODE_ID --sequence 1 --tls --cafile ${PWD}/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/tls/ca.crt
```

```shell
peer lifecycle chaincode commit -o 127.0.0.1:6050 --channelID mychannel --name dev-contract --version 1 --sequence 1 --tls --cafile "${PWD}"/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/tls/ca.crt
```

## Starting the chaincode

Example VS Code `launch.json` configuration to debug Go chaincode.

```json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug chaincode",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "${fileDirname}",
"env": {
"CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS": "127.0.0.1:9999",
"CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME": "dev-contract:48e3f422d9dc97ac3d4857f19c367def119743a19cd5fdfde1a0bc7706f10f2c"
}
}
]
}
```


Check everything is working.

```shell
peer chaincode query -C mychannel -n dev-contract -c '{"Args":["org.hyperledger.fabric:GetMetadata"]}'
```

## Run transactions


```shell
peer chaincode invoke -o 127.0.0.1:6050 -C mychannel -n dev-contract -c '{"Args":["PutValue","asset1","green"]}' --waitForEvent --tls --cafile "${PWD}"/crypto-config/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/tls/ca.crt
```

```shell
peer chaincode query -C mychannel -n dev-contract -c '{"Args":["GetValue","asset1"]}'
```
