- Verify miner-driver behavior after protocol or contract-fixture changes.
# plugin-contract-tests
The contract suite (`tests/plugin-contract/`) runs each miner test in its own
container so port-bound mocks (`fake-antminer`, ASIC-rs harnesses) don't
collide. Pre-push lefthook does **not** run it. Server `just lint` does **not**
run it. CI runs it on PR via `protofleet-contract-checks.yml`, but by then
it's a feedback delay.
## What to do
1. After plugin or fixture edits, run `just test-contract` from the repo
root. It builds the Go plugins, compiles the test binary once, and runs
`TestAntminerStock`, `TestAntminerVNish`, and `TestWhatsMinerStock` in
isolated containers.
For ASIC-rs platform prerequisites, including the current macOS recipe
blocker, read [build guidance](../asicrs-build/SKILL.md).
2. Surface the failing test name and the plugin under test (the test names
map to the miner model, not the plugin module — read the suite output
carefully).
3. If the change is a deliberate behavior change, add or update a contract
testdata fixture under `tests/plugin-contract/testdata/` or the relevant
miner harness — don't loosen the test to make it pass.
## What to avoid
- Don't run the contract tests outside Docker. The harness assumes container
port isolation; running on the host will race with anything bound to 4028
or 80.
