Peter Goodspeed-Niklaus 44d5aba80d Create a macro which automates creation of benchmark test suites. (#8104)
* Create a macro which automates creation of benchmark test suites.

* bump impl_version

* allow unused on test_bench_by_name

* use proper doctest ignore attribute

* Explicitly hand the Module to the test suite

Much better practice than depending on it showing up implicitly in
the namespace.

* explicitly import what we need into `mod tests`

* bench_module is `ident` not `tt`

* allow end users to specify arguments for new_test_ext

This turned out to be surprisingly easy. On reflection, it turns out
that of course the compiler can't eagerly evaluate the function call,
but needs to paste it in everywhere desired.

* enable explicitly specifying the path to the benchmarks invocation

also enable optional trailing commas

* Revert "bump impl_version"

This reverts commit 0209e4de33fd43873f8cfc6875815d0fd6151e63.

* list failing benchmark tests and the errors which caused the failure

* harden benchmark tests against internal panics

* suppress warning about ignored profiles

unfortunately, setting the profile here doesn't do anything; we'd
need to set it in every leaf package anyway. However, as this was
just making the default explicit anyway, I think it's safe enough
to remove entirely.

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for assets

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for balances

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for bounties

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for Collective

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for Contracts

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for Democracy

* don't impl_benchmark_test_suite for Elections-Phragmen

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for Identity

Note that Identity tests currently fail. They failed in an identical
way before this change, so as far as I'm concerned, the status quo is
good enough for now.

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for ImOnline

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for indices

For this crate also, the test suite fails identically with and without
this change, so we can say that this change is not the cause of the
tests' failure to compile.

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for lottery

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for merkle-mountain-range

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for Multisig

These tests fail identically with and without the change, so the change
seems unlikely to be the origin of the failures.

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for offences

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for Proxy

Fails identically with and without this change.

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for scheduler

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for session

It turns out to be important to be able to exclude items marked
`#[extra]` sometimes. Who knew?

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for staking

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for system

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for timestamp

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for tips

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for treasury

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for utility

Note that benchmark tests fail identically before and after this change.

* impl_benchmark_test_suite for vesting

* fix wrong module name in impl_benchmark_test_suite in Offences

* address line length nits

* enable optional keyword argument: exec_name

Took a _lot_ of macro-wrangling to get the functionality that I want,
but now you have the option to pass in

```rust
impl_benchmark_test_suite!(
	Elections,
	crate::tests::ExtBuilder::default().desired_members(13).desired_runners_up(7),
	crate::tests::Test,
	exec_name = build_and_execute,
);
```

and have it expand out properly. A selected fragment of the expansion:

```rust
        fn test_benchmarks() {
            crate::tests::ExtBuilder::default()
                .desired_members(13)
                .desired_runners_up(7)
                .build_and_execute(|| {
```

* get rid of dead code

Timestamp Module

The Timestamp module provides functionality to get and set the on-chain time.

Overview

The Timestamp module allows the validators to set and validate a timestamp with each block.

It uses inherents for timestamp data, which is provided by the block author and validated/verified by other validators. The timestamp can be set only once per block and must be set each block. There could be a constraint on how much time must pass before setting the new timestamp.

NOTE: The Timestamp module is the recommended way to query the on-chain time instead of using an approach based on block numbers. The block number based time measurement can cause issues because of cumulative calculation errors and hence should be avoided.

Interface

Dispatchable Functions

  • set - Sets the current time.

Public functions

  • get - Gets the current time for the current block. If this function is called prior to setting the timestamp, it will return the timestamp of the previous block.

Config Getters

  • MinimumPeriod - Gets the minimum (and advised) period between blocks for the chain.

Usage

The following example shows how to use the Timestamp module in your custom module to query the current timestamp.

Prerequisites

Import the Timestamp module into your custom module and derive the module configuration trait from the timestamp trait.

Get current timestamp

use frame_support::{decl_module, dispatch};
use frame_system::ensure_signed;

pub trait Config: timestamp::Config {}

decl_module! {
	pub struct Module<T: Config> for enum Call where origin: T::Origin {
		#[weight = 0]
		pub fn get_time(origin) -> dispatch::DispatchResult {
			let _sender = ensure_signed(origin)?;
			let _now = <timestamp::Module<T>>::get();
			Ok(())
		}
	}
}

Example from the FRAME

The Session module uses the Timestamp module for session management.
