near-workspaces (Rust) 0.2.0

Context

This new release contains a lot of new additions. Find the relevant ones following this section. Going forward, sim-tests will be deprecated once the examples, documentation, and content around workspaces-rs have been updated. workspaces will be the standard testing framework, providing much simpler and unified testing developer experience.

Added

• Time-traveling - the ability to go forwards in block height within tests. This allows to test time specific data changing within contracts: https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/73
• Credentials created from account/contract creation are now allowed to be stored and specified by users. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/98
• [Unstable] Allow users to compile contract projects within tests without having to manually go through this step. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/77
• Batch transactions or transactions with multiple actions are now possible. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/72
• Sandbox node (nearcore binary) logs are now suppressed and can be re-enabled if desired. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/85
• Results now expose logs, receipts, and transaction outcome values. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/70
• Convenience methods Worker::view_code, Worker::view_latest_block, Worker::view_account, Account::view_account, Contract::view_account, Contract::view_code now available. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/82
• Improve error handling. If a transaction fails, this error will now be apart of the Result return initially. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/83
• Added tracing logging to internal code and examples. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/55 and https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/75
• Convenient CallExecutionDetails::{is_success, is_failure} for testing outcomes of transactions. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/58
• Added mainnet_archival and testnet_archival, where ref-finance example now uses mainnet_archival. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/57 and https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/94

Fixes

• key type for patch_state now a slice and no longer require StoreKey. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/109
• Reorganized imports internally for better maintainability. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/102
• No longer running into non-deterministic query failures if RPC isn't available, but this is a breaking API. All workspaces::{sandbox, testnet, mainnet} now require .await? at the end. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/99
• TLA trait no longer apart of all networks -- only dev-networks (sandbox, testnet). https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/101
• Retry times have now been shorten and should take a maximum of 1 second. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/92
• doc builds on docs.rs has now been fixed. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/90
• patch_state now takes in slices. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/80 and https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/79
• Make access_key call do optimistic queries which led to better retry times. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/60
• Functions no longer take in owned but referenced AccountIds now. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/52

Removed

• Empty JSON array is no longer a valid default argument supplied to transactions. Recommended to supply empty {} in the case of JSON if all function arguments in the contract are optional types. https://github.com/near/workspaces-rs/pull/84
