DUNE is a tool to abstract over Leap programs, CDT, and other services/tools to perform the functions of node management, compiling smart contracts, running tests, and several other common tasks required to develop smart contracts on Antelope blockchains.

📝 Please note that there are pending reviews for Chocolately and Brew support that will be available in the coming weeks. For now, packages have been attached within the release.

Read on for details.

Features

DUNE plug-in extension

DUNE plugins are Python scripts that allow users to customize and add new functionality to DUNE. They can be used to add new command-line options, interact with DUNE's internals, or perform other tasks related to cleos / nodeos.
They need to be placed in the subdirectory of ../src/plugin/ and define three functions: add_parsing, set_dune, and handle_args. Examples of plugins can be found in the plugin_example directory.

Installation on Windows

DUNE is now available as a Chocolatey package (*.nupkg attached to the release) and can be installed on Windows. Steps which are needed to install DUNE using Chocolatey have been updated in the documentation.

Packaging

DUNE can now be packaged as an RPM or DEB package. The documentation for installing DUNE on Linux has been updated.

DUNE image

DUNE now uses pre-built Docker image for running DUNE. The image is automatically downloaded during the first usage, so there's no need to build it from scratch.

Dynamic updates

DUNE now supports dynamic updates. Users can upgrade DUNE image to the latest version with the command dune --upgrade. Note: To upgrade DUNE python scripts you still need to install latest DUNE version from release page / Chocolatey repository.

Leap/CDT versioning

DUNE is allowing users to change the CDT and leap versions. This can be done by running the command dune --cdt <version> or dune --leap <version>. To build an image with specific versions, users can run the script bootstrap.sh with the appropriate arguments.

Functional tests

Users can validate DUNE by running functional tests using command pytest tests in the DUNE directory.

Building, compatibility, and upgrading

Upgrading from prior releases

If you have previously cloned DUNE, you may still have an older version of the Docker image. To upgrade to the latest version of DUNE, you can run the command dune --upgrade, which will download the most recent version of the image from GitHub Packages.
Alternatively, you can remove the old image by running the command dune --destroy-container followed by docker image rm -f dune:latest. Please note that upgrading or removing the old image will delete the associated container and image. Before proceeding, be sure to export any wallets or nodes that you want to keep.

To confirm the upgrade was successfull the command dune --version-all should give you following output:
