MockSubtensor

A Mock Subtensor class for running tests.

Package Contents#

class bittensor.utils.mock.MockSubtensor(*args, **kwargs)#

Bases: bittensor.core.subtensor.Subtensor

A Mock Subtensor class for running tests. This should mock only methods that make queries to the chain. e.g. We mock Subtensor.query_subtensor instead of all query methods.

This class will also store a local (mock) state of the chain.

Initializes a Subtensor interface for interacting with the Bittensor blockchain.

Note

Currently subtensor defaults to the finney network. This will change in a future release.

We strongly encourage users to run their own local subtensor node whenever possible. This increases decentralization and resilience of the network. In a future release, local subtensor will become the default and the fallback to finney removed. Please plan ahead for this change. We will provide detailed instructions on how to run a local subtensor node in the documentation in a subsequent release.

Parameters:

network (Optional[str]) – The network name to connect to (e.g., finney, local). This can also be the chain endpoint (e.g., wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443) and will be correctly parsed into the network and chain endpoint. If not specified, defaults to the main Bittensor network.
config (Optional[bittensor.core.config.Config]) – Configuration object for the subtensor. If not provided, a default configuration is used.
_mock (bool) – If set to True, uses a mocked connection for testing purposes. Default is False.
log_verbose (bool) – Whether to enable verbose logging. If set to True, detailed log information about the connection and network operations will be provided. Default is True.
connection_timeout (int) – The maximum time in seconds to keep the connection alive. Default is 600.

This initialization sets up the connection to the specified Bittensor network, allowing for various blockchain operations such as neuron registration, stake management, and setting weights.
