Smart Signature Testing

Test Algorand smart signatures (LogicSigs) with ease using the Algorand Python Testing framework.

import algopy
from algopy_testing import algopy_testing_context
# Create the context manager for snippets below
ctx_manager = algopy_testing_context()
# Enter the context
context = ctx_manager.__enter__()

Define a LogicSig

Use the @logicsig decorator to create a LogicSig:

from algopy import logicsig, Account, Txn, Global, UInt64, Bytes
@logicsig
def hashed_time_locked_lsig() -> bool:
# LogicSig code here
return True # Approve transaction

Execute and Test

Use AlgopyTestContext.execute_logicsig() to run and verify LogicSigs:

with context.txn.create_group([
context.any.txn.payment(),
]):
result = context.execute_logicsig(hashed_time_locked_lsig, algopy.Bytes(b"secret"))
assert result is True

execute_logicsig() returns a boolean:

  • True: Transaction approved
  • False: Transaction rejected

Pass Arguments

Provide arguments to LogicSigs using execute_logicsig():

result = context.execute_logicsig(hashed_time_locked_lsig, algopy.Bytes(b"secret"))

Access arguments in the LogicSig with algopy.op.arg() opcode:

@logicsig
def hashed_time_locked_lsig() -> bool:
secret = algopy.op.arg(0)
expected_hash = algopy.op.sha256(algopy.Bytes(b"secret"))
return algopy.op.sha256(secret) == expected_hash
# Example usage
secret = algopy.Bytes(b"secret")
assert context.execute_logicsig(hashed_time_locked_lsig, secret)
