Clarinet

Clarinet is a Clarity runtime packaged as a command line tool, designed to facilitate smart contract understanding, development, testing and deployment. Clarinet consists of a Clarity REPL and a testing harness, which, when used together allow you to rapidly develop and test a Clarity smart contract, with the need to deploy the contract to a local devnet or testnet.

Clarity is a decidable smart contract language that optimizes for predictability and security, designed for the Stacks blockchain. Smart contracts allow developers to encode essential business logic on a blockchain.

mv ./clarinet /usr/local/bin

On MacOS, you may get security errors when trying to run the pre-compiled binary. You can resolve the security warning with with command

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/downloaded/clarinet/binary

Install from source using Cargo

Prerequisites

Install Rust for access to cargo, the Rust package manager.

On Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions, please install the following packages before building Clarinet.

sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev

Build Clarinet

You can build Clarinet from source using Cargo with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/hirosystems/clarinet.git
cd clarinet
cargo clarinet-install

By default, you will be in our development branch, develop, with code that has not been released yet. If you plan to submit any changes to the code, then this is the right branch for you. If you just want the latest stable version, switch to the main branch:

git checkout main

Getting started with Clarinet

The following sections describe how to create a new project in Clarinet and populate it with smart contracts. Clarinet also provides tools for interacting with your contracts in a REPL, and performing automated testing of contracts.

Setup shell completions

Clarinet has many different commands built in, so it will be useful to enable tab-completion in your shell. You can use clarinet to generate the shell completion scripts for many common shells using the command:

clarinet completions (bash|elvish|fish|powershell|zsh)

After generating the file, please refer to the documentation for your shell to determine where this file should be moved and what other steps may be necessary to enable tab-completion for clarinet.

Create a new project

Once installed, you can use clarinet to create a new project:

clarinet new my-project && cd my-project

Clarinet will create a project directory with the following directory layout:

.
├── Clarinet.toml
├── contracts
├── settings
│   └── Devnet.toml
│   └── Testnet.toml
│   └── Mainnet.toml
└── tests

The Clarinet.toml file contains configuration for the smart contracts in your project. When you create contracts in your project, Clarinet will add them to this file.

The settings/Devnet.toml file contains configuration for accounts in the Clarinet console, including the seed phrases and initial balances. Initial balances are in microSTX.

Add a new contract

Clarinet can handle adding a new contract and its configuration to your project with the following command:

$ clarinet contract new bbtc

Clarinet will add 2 files to your project, the contract file in the contracts directory, and the contract test file in the tests directory.

.
├── Clarinet.toml
├── contracts
│   └── bbtc.clar
├── settings
│   └── Devnet.toml
│   └── Mainnet.toml
│   └── Testnet.toml
└── tests
    └── bbtc_test.ts

Clarinet will also add configuration to the Clarinet.toml file for your contract.

[project.cache_location]
path = ".cache"
[contracts.bbtc]
path = "contracts/bbtc.clar"

You can add contracts to your project by adding the files manually, however you must add the appropriate configuration to Clarinet.toml in order for Clarinet to recognize the contracts.

Check your contracts

Clarinet provides syntax and semantics checkers for Clarity. You can check if the Clarity code in your project is valid with the command:

$ clarinet check

This uses the Clarinet.toml file to locate and analyze all of the contracts in the project. If the Clarity code is valid, the command will indicate success:

✔ 2 contracts checked

It may also report warnings that indicate that the code is valid, but there is something that you should pay attention to, for example, the check-checker analysis discussed below will generate warnings. If there are errors in the code, the output of the command will indicate the kind and location of the errors.

You can also perform syntax-check on a single file by using the following command.

$ clarinet check <path/to/file.clar>

If there are no syntax errors, the output of the command will be a success message.

✔ Syntax of contract successfully checked

Any syntactical errors in the Clarity code will be reported, but type-checking and other semantic checks are not performed, since clarinet is only looking at this one contract and does not have the full context to perform a complete check.

Static Analysis

Check-Checker

The check-checker is a static analysis pass that you can use to help find potential vulnerabilities in your contracts. To enable this pass, add the following to your Clarinet.toml file:

[repl.analysis]
passes = ["check_checker"]

The check-checker pass analyzes your contract to identify places where untrusted inputs might be used in a potentially dangerous way. Since public functions can be called by anyone, any arguments passed to these public functions should be considered untrusted. This analysis pass takes the opinion that all untrusted data must be checked before being used to modify state on the blockchain. Modifying state includes any operations that affect wallet balances, or any data stored in your contracts.

  • Actions on Stacks wallets:
    • stx-burn?
    • stx-transfer?
  • Actions on fungible tokens:
    • ft-burn?
    • ft-mint?
    • ft-transfer?
  • Actions on non-fungible tokens:
    • nft-burn?
    • nft-mint?
    • nft-transfer?
  • Actions on persisted data:
    • Maps:
      • map-delete
      • map-insert
      • map-set
    • Variables:
      • var-set

In addition to those, the check-checker is also a bit opinionated and prefers that untrusted data be checked near the source, making the code more readable and maintainable. For this reason, it also requires that arguments passed into private functions must be checked and return values must be checked.

  • Calls to private functions
  • Return values

Finally, another opportunity for exploits shows up when contracts call functions from traits. Those traits are untrusted, just like other parameters to public functions, so they are also required to be checked.

  • Dynamic contract calls (through traits)

When an untrusted input is used in one of these ways, you will see a warning like this:

bank:27:37: warning: use of potentially unchecked data
        (as-contract (stx-transfer? (to-uint amount) tx-sender customer))
                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bank:21:36: note: source of untrusted input here
(define-public (withdrawal-unsafe (amount int))

In the case where an operation affects only the sender's own wallet (e.g. calling stx-transfer? with the sender set to tx-sender), then there is no need to generate a warning, because the untrusted input is only affecting the sender, who is the source of that input. To say that another way, the sender should be able to safely specify parameters in an operation that affects only themselves. This sender is also potentially protected by post-conditions.

Options

The check-checker provides some options that can be specified in Clarinet.toml to handle common usage scenarios that may reduce false positives from the analysis:

[repl.analysis.check_checker]
strict = false
trusted_sender = true
trusted_caller = true
callee_filter = true

If strict is set to true, all other options are ignored and the analysis proceeds with the most strict interpretation of the rules.

The trusted_sender and trusted_caller options handle a common practice in smart contracts where there is a concept of a trusted transaction sender (or transaction caller), which is treated like an admin user. Once a check has been performed to validate the sender (or caller), then all inputs should be trusted.

In the example below, the asserts! on line 3 is verifying the tx-sender. Because of that check, all inputs are trusted (if the trusted_sender option is enabled):

(define-public (take (amount int) (from principal))
    (let ((balance (- (default-to 0 (get amount (map-get? accounts {holder: from}))) amount)))
        (asserts! (is-eq tx-sender (var-get bank-owner)) err-unauthorized)
        (map-set accounts {holder: from} {amount: balance})
        (stx-transfer? (to-uint amount) (as-contract tx-sender) tx-sender)
    )
)

The callee_filter option loosens the restriction on passing untrusted data to private functions, and instead, allows checks in a called function to propagate up to the caller. This is helpful, because it allows developers to define input checks in a function that can be reused.

In the example below, the private function validate checks its parameter. The public function save calls validate, and when the callee_filter option is enabled, that call to validate will count as a check for the untrusted input, amount, resulting in no warnings from the check-checker.

(define-public (save (amount uint))
    (begin
        (try! (validate amount))
        (var-set saved amount)
        (ok amount)
    )
)

(define-private (validate (amount uint))
    (let ((current (var-get saved)))
        (asserts! (> amount current) err-too-low)
        (asserts! (<= amount (* current u2)) err-too-high)
        (ok amount)
    )
)
Annotations

Sometimes, there is code that the check-checker analysis is unable to determine is safe, but as a developer, you know that it is safe, and want to pass that information to the check-checker to disable warnings that you consider to be false positives. To handle these cases, the check-checker supports several annotations, implemented using "magic comments" in the contract code.

#[allow(unchecked_params)]

This annotation tells the check-checker that the associated private function is allowed to receive unchecked arguments. It will not generate a warning for calls to this function that pass unchecked inputs. Inside the private function, the parameters are considered unchecked and could generate warnings.

;; #[allow(unchecked_params)]
(define-private (my-func (amount uint))
    ...
)

#[allow(unchecked_data)]

This annotation tells the check-checker that the following expression is allowed to use unchecked data without warnings. It should be used with care, as it will disable all warnings from the associated expression.

(define-public (dangerous (amount uint))
    (let ((sender tx-sender))
        ;; #[allow(unchecked_data)]
        (as-contract (stx-transfer? amount tx-sender sender))
    )
)

#[filter(var1, var2)]

This annotation will tell the check-checker to consider the specified variables to be checked by the following expression. This is useful for the case where your contract does some indirect check that validates that an input is safe, but there is no way for the analysis to recognize this. In place of the list of variable names in the annotation, an * may be used to filter all inputs.

This is the safest and preferred way to silence warnings that you consider false positives.

(define-public (filter_one (amount uint))
    (let ((sender tx-sender))
        ;; #[filter(amount)]
        (asserts! (> block-height u1000) (err u400))
        (as-contract (stx-transfer? amount tx-sender sender))
    )
)

Execute a test suite

Clarinet provides a testing harness based on Deno that can allow you to create automated unit tests or pseudo-integration tests using Typescript.

$ clarinet test

When you use clarinet contract new foo to create a new contract, clarinet will automatically create a unit test file for this new contract, tests/foo_test.ts. Other files under the tests/ directory following the Deno test naming convention will also be included:

  • named test.{ts, tsx, mts, js, mjs, jsx, cjs, cts},
  • or ending with .test.{ts, tsx, mts, js, mjs, jsx, cjs, cts},
  • or ending with _test.{ts, tsx, mts, js, mjs, jsx, cjs, cts}

Within these tests, developers can simulate mining a block containing transactions using their contract, and then examine the results of those transactions as well as the events generated by them.

See the billboard example for sample unit tests.

Note: If you see an error in VS Code on the imports in the generated test file(s), that says, "An import path cannot end with a '.ts' extension" (example below), installing the Deno extension will resolve this error.

VS Code deno error

Measure and increase code coverage

To help developers maximizing their test coverage, Clarinet can produce a lcov report, using the following option:

$ clarinet test --coverage

From there, developers can use the lcov tooling suite to produce HTML reports:

$ brew install lcov
$ genhtml coverage.lcov
$ open index.html

lcov

Cost optimizations

Clarinet can also be use for optimizing costs. When executing a test suite, Clarinet will keep track of all the costs being computed when executing the contract-call, and display the most expensive ones in a table:

$ clarinet test --cost

The --cost option can be used in conjunction with --watch and filters to maximize productivity, as illustrated here:

costs

Load contracts in a console

The Clarinet console is an interactive Clarity REPL that runs in-memory. Any contracts in the current project are automatically loaded into memory.

$ clarinet console

You can use the ::help command in the console for a list of valid commands, which can control the state of the REPL chain, and let you advance the chain tip. Additionally, you can enter Clarity commands into the console and observe the result of the command.

You can exit the console by pressing Ctrl + C twice.

Changes to contracts are not loaded into the console while it is running. If you make any changes to your contracts you must exit the console and run it again.

Spawn a local Devnet

You can use Clarinet to deploy your contracts to your own local offline environment for testing and evaluation on a blockchain. Use the following command:

$ clarinet integrate

Make sure that you have a working installation of Docker running locally.

Interacting with contracts deployed on Mainnet

Composition and interactions between protocols and contracts are one of the key innovations in blockchains. Clarinet was designed to handle this sort of interactions.

Before referring to contracts deployed on Mainnet, they should be explicitily be listed as a requirement in the manifest Clarinet.toml, either manually:

[project]
name = "my-project"
[[project.requirements]]
contract_id = "SP2KAF9RF86PVX3NEE27DFV1CQX0T4WGR41X3S45C.bitcoin-whales"

or with the command:

clarinet requirements add SP2KAF9RF86PVX3NEE27DFV1CQX0T4WGR41X3S45C.bitcoin-whales

From there, clarinet will be able to resolve the contract-call? statements invoking requirements present in your local contracts, by downloading and caching a copy of these contracts and use them during the execution of your testsuites, and all the different features available in clarinet.

When deploying your protocol to Devnet / Testnet, for the contracts involving requirements, the setting remap_requirements in your deployment plans must be set.

As a step-by-step example, we use here the following contract, bitcoin-whales

If you examine this contract, you will see that there are 3 different dependencies: two from the same project (included in the same Clarinet.toml file), and one referring to a contract deployed outside of the current project.

Same Project

In the contract snippet below (line:260-265), there are dependencies on the contracts conversion and conversion-v2 which are included in the same Clarinet.toml file.

(define-read-only (get-token-uri (token-id uint))
  (if (< token-id u5001)
    (ok (some (concat (concat (var-get ipfs-root) (unwrap-panic (contract-call? .conversion lookup token-id))) ".json")))
    (ok (some (concat (concat (var-get ipfs-root) (unwrap-panic (contract-call? .conversion-v2 lookup (- token-id u5001)))) ".json")))
    )
)

External Deployer

In this snippet, there is a dependency on the nft-trait (line:001) deployed by 'SP2PABAF9FTAJYNFZH93XENAJ8FVY99RRM50D2JG9.

(impl-trait 'SP2PABAF9FTAJYNFZH93XENAJ8FVY99RRM50D2JG9.nft-trait.nft-trait)

Dependencies from external contracts should be set in [[project.requirements]]

Dependencies from internal contracts no longer need to be set in depends_on. However, this is still present in many contracts, tutorials and documentations.

[project]
name = "my-project"

[[project.requirements]]
contract_id = "SP2PABAF9FTAJYNFZH93XENAJ8FVY99RRM50D2JG9.nft-trait"

[project.cache_location]
path = ".cache"

[contracts.bitcoin-whales]
path = "contracts/bitcoin-whales.clar"
# depends_on = ["conversion","conversion-v2"] # no longer needed, ignored if provided

[contracts.conversion]
path = "contracts/conversion.clar"

[contracts.conversion-v2]
path = "contracts/conversion-v2.clar"

[repl.analysis]
passes = ["check_checker"]

[repl.analysis.check_checker]
strict = false
trusted_sender = false
trusted_caller = false
callee_filter = false

As a next step we can generate a deployment plan for this project.

If running $ clarinet integrate for the first time. This file should be created by clarinet.

In addition you can run $ clarinet deployment generate --devnet to create or overwrite.

            path: "contracts\\bitcoin-whales.clar"
            anchor-block-only: true

As you can see, clarinet will remap the external contract to our Devnet address. In addition it will also create a copy of it in the folder requirements

Deploy contracts to Devnet / Testnet / Mainnet

You can use Clarinet to publish your contracts to Devnet / Testnet / Mainnet environment for testing and evaluation on a blockchain.

The first step is to generate a deployment plan, with the following command:

$ clarinet deployment generate --mainnet

After cautiously reviewing (and updating if needed) the generated plan, you can use the command:

$ clarinet deployment apply -p <path-to-plan.yaml>

which will handle the deployments of your contracts, according to the plan.

Use Clarinet in your CI workflow as a GitHub Action

Clarinet can be used in GitHub Actions as a step of your CI workflows. You can set-up a simple workflow by adding the following steps in a file .github/workflows/github-actions-clarinet.yml:

name: CI
on: [push]
jobs:
  tests:
    name: "Test contracts with Clarinet"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: "Execute unit tests"
        uses: docker://hirosystems/clarinet:latest
        with:
          args: test --coverage --manifest-path=./Clarinet.toml
      - name: "Export code coverage"
        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v1
        with:
          files: ./coverage.lcov
          verbose: true

Or add the steps above in your existing workflows. The generated code coverage output can then be used as is with GitHub Apps like https://codecov.io.

Extensions

Clarinet can easily be extended by community members: open source contributions to clarinet are welcome, but developers can also write their own clarinet extensions if they want to integrate clarity contracts with their own tooling and workflow.

Name wallet access disk write disk read Deployment Description
stacksjs-helper-generator no yes no https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/ext/stacksjs-helper-generator.ts Facilitates contract integration by generating some typescript constants that can be used with stacks.js. Never hard code a stacks address again!

How to use extensions

Extensions are ran with the following syntax:

$ clarinet run --allow-write https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/ext/stacksjs-helper-generator.ts

An extension can be deployed as a standalone plugin on Deno, or can also just be a local file if it includes sensitive / private setup informations. As illustrated in the example above, permissions (wallet / disk read / disk write) are declared using command flags. If at runtime, the clarinet extension is trying to write to disk, read disk, or access wallets without permission, the script will end up failing.

Debug your contracts

VS Code Debugger

Clarinet supports the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) which enables debugging your smart contracts inside of VS Code, or any code editor supporting the DAP protocol.

To setup a debug session, you'll first need to create a launch.json file to tell VS Code what you want to debug. The easiest way to do this is to let Code generate the template for you by opening the "Run and Debug" view and clicking "create a launch.json file".

Run and Debug View

This will create the file .vscode/launch.json with the default template:

{
  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
  // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
  // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "clarinet",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Call .foo.bar",
      "manifest": "${workspaceFolder}/Clarinet.toml",
      "expression": "(contract-call? .foo bar 42)"
    }
  ]
}

Depending on your needs, you will want to set the name field to whatever makes sense for your project, then set the expression to the Clarity expression that you would like to debug. In the case of the default example shown in the template above, the debugger would start executing the bar function of the foo contract, passing the argument 42. Once this file is configured, the debugger works as expected for any VS Code debugging.

Execution begins paused at the first expression. The debug toolbar includes buttons to continue, step over, step into, step out, restart, and stop, in that order.

debug toolbar

Breakpoints can be set by clicking in the left gutter next to the code or using the right-click menu at a specific code location.

breakpoint

Data watchpoints may also be set, by clicking the + in the Watch section of the Debug side bar and typing the contract variable to watch in the format <principal>.<contract>.<name> or using the shortcut for a local contract, .<contract>.<name>. When a watchpoint is set on a contract variable, execution will pause when its value will change.

watchpoint

During execution, the values of the current contract's variables, the current function's arguments, and any local variables (i.e. from a let expression) are shown in the side bar. The current watchpoints are also shown with their current values. In both cases, the contents of a map are not shown, but can be queried in the Debug Console. The call stack is also updated to show the call stack of the current execution.

At any point during execution, an expression can be evaluated in the current context via the Debug Console. Just type any valid Clarity expression and hit enter to evaluate it. Upon completion, the events emitted and the return value are printed to the debug console.

Command Line Debugger

Inside of the console (clarinet console), there is a debugger for stepping through your contracts on the command line, including support for:

  • Breakpoints
    • Source: Break at a specific line (and optional column) of a contract (break or b command)
      b SP466FNC0P7JWTNM2R9T199QRZN1MYEDTAR0KP27.miamicoin-token:28:4
      
    • Function: Break at a specific function (break or b command)
      b .crashpunks-v2.transfer
      
    • Data: Break on read/write to a variable or map (watch or w to break on write, rwatch or rw to break on read, and awatch or aw to break on read or write)
      w contracts/SP2KAF9RF86PVX3NEE27DFV1CQX0T4WGR41X3S45C.bitcoin-whales.payout
      
  • Step execution
    • Step-in: Step into the sub-expressions (step or s command)
    • Step-out: Complete execution of the current expression and return the result back to the parent (finish or f command)
    • Step-over: Continue to completion of the current expression, stepping over sub-expressions (next or n command)
    • Continue: Continue execution until hitting a breakpoint or completing execution (continue or c command)
  • Evaluate and print the result of any expression (print or p command)

To initiate a debug sessionm, first enter the REPL console using:

clarinet console

Then at the REPL prompt, debug any expression:

::debug (contract-call? .foo hello .bar))

At the debug prompt, use any of the commands described above, or use help to get the full help documentation.

Execution Trace

When in the console (clarinet console), the ::trace <expr> command allows developers to execute an expression and print a trace of the execution, which can be very helpful for identifying problems with the contract.

This trace shows all function calls, both internal calls to private functions, and contract calls to other contracts. For each call, the parameters and return value are shown in the trace. Any events that are emitted are also shown in the trace.

Deploy with Hyperchains on Devnet

Clarinet can be used for facilitating experimentations with Hyperchains. To get started with subnets, in your Devnet.toml, enable the flag

[devnet]
# ...
enable_subnet_node = true

This same file can be used for customizing the subnet-node (miner, etc). When running the command:

$ clarinet integrate

Clarinet will spin-up a subnet node. More documentation on how to use and interact with this incoming L2 can be found on the Hyperchain repository.
