Summary

java-tron supports both LevelDB and RocksDB, but the test suite only ran with the default engine (LevelDB). This PR adds dual DB engine test coverage so the same business tests can run under both engines, and fixes several related issues.

What changed

  • Centralize test config: Introduce TestEnv class with config file constants (TEST_CONF, NET_CONF, MAINNET_CONF, etc.) and utility methods, replacing 200+ hardcoded config strings across test files
  • Dual DB engine override: Add withDbEngineOverride() to BaseTest and TestEnv, allowing Gradle to inject --storage-db-engine ROCKSDB via system property tron.test.db.engine
  • Parameterized DB tests: Create DbDataSourceImplTest with @RunWith(Parameterized.class) to run common DB operations (put/get, batch, reset, iterator, etc.) against both LevelDB and RocksDB, eliminating ~400 lines of duplicate test code from LevelDbDataSourceImplTest and RocksDbDataSourceImplTest
  • BaseMethodTest: New base class for tests requiring per-method Spring context isolation (fresh context per @Test method)
  • ARM64 support: Auto-skip LevelDB tests on ARM64 via assumeLevelDbAvailable(); Gradle ARM64 builds auto-inject RocksDB engine
  • Gradle testWithRocksDb task: New CI task that reruns the full test suite with RocksDB engine
  • CI workflow: Add testWithRocksDb step to pr-check.yml for x86_64 builds
  • ARM64 engine override test: Arm64EngineOverrideTest verifies ARM64 silently forces RocksDB even when config says LevelDB
  • Flaky test fixes: TrieTest (missing test body), ConditionallyStopTest (Spring context leak), NeedBeanCondition (null-safety), NativeMessageQueue (missing shutdown hook)

Why

  1. RocksDB is the production engine on ARM64 and increasingly on x86 — tests should cover it
  2. Duplicate LevelDB/RocksDB test files were a maintenance burden (~900 lines of near-identical code)
  3. Hardcoded config strings across 200+ files made refactoring error-prone

Test plan

  • ./gradlew :framework:test — all existing tests pass
  • ./gradlew :framework:testWithRocksDb — business tests pass with RocksDB engine
  • ./gradlew :framework:test --tests "org.tron.common.storage.DbDataSourceImplTest" — parameterized tests run both engines
  • ./gradlew :framework:test --tests "org.tron.common.storage.Arm64EngineOverrideTest" — ARM64 mock tests pass
  • Checkstyle clean
  • CI all green on 6 platform/JDK combinations (debian11, rockylinux, ubuntu x86, ubuntu aarch64, macOS aarch64, macOS x86)

- Refactor config validation to support dual-engine (LevelDB/RocksDB) test override
- Add BaseMethodTest for per-method Spring context isolation
- Unify DB tests with parameterized dual-engine coverage
- Migrate 176+ BaseTest subclasses to support dual DB engine override
- Fix flaky tests (TrieTest, ConditionallyStopTest, NeedBeanCondition null safety)
- Add ARM64 RocksDB engine test support
- Add RocksDB engine test step to PR check workflow
- Centralize config file constants in TestEnv

Args.validateConfig() is executed before KeystoreFactory.start(). With the default config.conf setting db.engine = "LEVELDB", running in --keystore-factory mode (e.g., when only generating or importing a keystore on ARM64) causes the program to exit early due to a database engine validation failure. However, this execution path does not require the database to be opened at all.
It would be preferable to defer this validation until the code path that actually initializes the database, or to skip the validation entirely for no-DB modes such as --keystore-factory.

Change "ROCKSDB".equals(PARAMETER.storage.getDbEngine()) to "ROCKSDB".equals(PARAMETER.storage.getDbEngine()).toUpperCase(), so that values like rocksdb or RocksDB are also supported.

The statement “./gradlew :framework:testWithRocksDb — business tests pass with RocksDB engine” is not accurate.

Although testWithRocksDb initially switches the test environment to ROCKSDB, the global engine configuration is later reset to LEVELDB during test execution. As a result, the tests assumed to be executed in RocksDB engine are not running under a pure RocksDB environment. Instead, they operate in a mixed state where the context is initialized with RocksDB, but the global engine configuration is reverted to LevelDB. This weakens the intended RocksDB coverage and may potentially mask real issues.

To illustrate this, I added a log in the fork() test of ManagerTest.java right after Args.setParam(new String[]{}, TestEnv.TEST_CONF);:

// added variable
String engineBeforeReset = Args.getInstance().getStorage().getDbEngine();
Args.setParam(new String[]{}, TestEnv.TEST_CONF);
// added log
logger.info("[testWithRocksDb-demo] requested={}, beforeReset={}, afterReset={}",
    System.getProperty("tron.test.db.engine"),
    engineBeforeReset,
    Args.getInstance().getStorage().getDbEngine());

Running:

./gradlew :framework:testWithRocksDb --tests org.tron.core.db.ManagerTest.fork --info

produces:

18:17:57.889 INFO [o.t.c.d.ManagerTest] 
[testWithRocksDb-demo] requested=ROCKSDB, beforeReset=ROCKSDB, afterReset=LEVELDB

This confirms that although RocksDB is requested and initially active, the global engine configuration is subsequently reverted to LevelDB during the test execution.

…rride

Replace withDbEngineOverride() CLI injection with Gradle systemProperty
'storage.db.engine' which ConfigFactory.load() merges automatically.
Rename TestEnv back to TestConstants to minimize review diff.
Restore 212 test files to develop state. The DB engine override is now
handled by Gradle systemProperty injection via Typesafe Config, so
individual test files no longer need withDbEngineOverride() wrapping
or TestConstants->TestEnv rename.
