Normally chaincodes are started and maintained by peer. However in “dev mode", chaincode is built and started by the user. This mode is useful during chaincode development phase for rapid code/build/run/debug cycle turnaround.
We start "dev mode" by leveraging pre-generated orderer and channel artifacts for a sample dev network. As such, the user can immediately jump into the process of compiling chaincode and driving calls.
If you haven't already done so, please install the doc [samples](http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/samples.html).
Navigate to the chaincode-docker-devmode
directory of the fabric-samples
clone:
cd chaincode-docker-devmode
We need four docker images in order for "dev mode" to run against the supplied
docker compose script. If you installed the fabric-samples
repo clone and
followed the instructions to [download-platform-specific-binaries](http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/samples.html#download-platform-specific-binaries), then
you should have the necessary Docker images installed locally.
Note
If you choose to manually pull the images then you must retag them as
latest
.
Issue a docker images
command to reveal your local Docker Registry. You
should see something similar to following:
docker images

Note
If you retrieved the images through the [download-platform-specific-binaries](http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/samples.html#download-platform-specific-binaries), then you will see additional images listed. However, we are only concerned with these four.
Now open three terminals and navigate to your chaincode-docker-devmode
directory in each.
docker-compose -f docker-compose-simple.yaml up
The above starts the network with the SingleSampleMSPSolo
orderer profile and
launches the peer in "dev mode". It also launches two additional containers -
one for the chaincode environment and a CLI to interact with the chaincode. The
commands for create and join channel are embedded in the CLI container, so we
can jump immediately to the chaincode calls.
Warning
This step is not necessary anymore since the chaincode container now launch the chaincode itself.
docker exec -it chaincode bash
You should see the following:
root@d2629980e76b:/opt/gopath/src/chaincode#
Now, compile your chaincode:
go build -o substra_chaincode
Now run the chaincode:
CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=peer:7052 CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME=mycc:0 ./substra_chaincode
The chaincode is started with peer and chaincode logs indicating successful registration with the peer.
Note that at this stage the chaincode is not associated with any channel. This is done in subsequent steps
using the instantiate
command.
Even though you are in --peer-chaincodedev
mode, you still have to install the
chaincode so the life-cycle system chaincode can go through its checks normally.
This requirement may be removed in future when in --peer-chaincodedev
mode.
We'll leverage the CLI container to drive these calls.
docker exec -it cli bash
peer chaincode install -p chaincode/ -n mycc -v 0
peer chaincode instantiate -n mycc -v 0 -c '{"Args":["init"]}' -C myc
Now issue an invoke to create a dataManager.
peer chaincode invoke -n mycc -c '{"Args":["registerDataManager","{\"name\":\"liver slide\",\"openerHash\":\"da1bb7c31f62244c0f3a761cc168804227115793d01c270021fe3f7935482dcc\",\"openerStorageAddress\":\"https://toto/dataManager/42234/opener\",\"type\":\"images\",\"descriptionHash\":\"8d4bb7c31f62244c0f3a761cc168804227115793d01c270021fe3f7935482eee\",\"descriptionStorageAddress\":\"https://toto/dataManager/42234/description\",\"objectiveKey\":\"\",\"permissions\":\"all\"}"]}' -C myc
Finally, query all datasets. We should see the newly added dataset.
peer chaincode query -n mycc -c '{"Args":["queryDatasets"]}' -C myc
