Chain upgrade
Performs a chain upgrade using the sudo module. This may brick your chain, so us it as an educational sample. (use substrate --dev purge-chain to remove DB and recover).
// @ts-check
// Import the API & Provider and some utility functions
const { ApiPromise } = require('@polkadot/api');
const { WsProvider } = require('@polkadot/rpc-provider');
// import the test keyring (already has dev keys for Alice, Bob, Charlie, Eve & Ferdie)
const testKeyring = require('@polkadot/keyring/testing');
const fs = require('fs');
async function main () {
// Initialise the provider to connect to the local node
const provider = new WsProvider('ws://127.0.0.1:9944');
// Create the API and wait until ready (optional provider passed through)
const api = await ApiPromise.create(provider);
// retrieve the upgrade key from the chain state
const adminId = await api.query.sudo.key();
// find the actual keypair in the keyring (if this is an changed value, the key
// needs to be added to the keyring before - this assumes we have defaults, i.e.
// Alice as the key - and this already exists on the test keyring)
const keyring = testKeyring.default();
const adminPair = keyring.getPair(adminId.toString());
// retrieve the runtime to upgrade to
const code = fs.readFileSync('./test.wasm').toString('hex');
const proposal = api.tx.consensus.setCode(`0x${code}`);
console.log(`Upgrading from ${adminId}, ${code.length / 2} bytes`);
// preform the actual chain upgrade via the sudo module
api.tx.sudo
.sudo(proposal)
.signAndSend(adminPair, ({ events = [], status, type }) => {
console.log('Proposal status:', type);
if (type === 'Finalised') {
console.error('You have just upgraded your chain');
console.log('Completed at block hash', status.asFinalised.toHex());
console.log('Events:');
events.forEach(({ phase, event: { data, method, section } }) => {
console.log('\t', phase.toString(), `: ${section}.${method}`, data.toString());
});
process.exit(0);
}
});
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(-1);
});
