This new acceptance test is really meant to check for the behavior surrounding the optional datum. So I've added an extra expect on the received datum, and kept only assertions that were about or related to the datum.
Unfortunately, as documented in:
https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-ledger/issues/4571
Some Option fields in the script context certificates are going to
remain set to None, at least until the next Hard fork. There's a risk
that people permanently lock their funds if they expect deposits on
registration credentials to ever be `Some`.
So, we introduce a special type that emulate an `Option` that can only
ever be `None`. We call it `Never` and it is the first type of this
kind (i.e. with constructors indexes not starting at 0).
The rationale is two folds:
1. It's more consistent with how we already separate the validator
name from its module.
2. Because `_` may be present in Aiken's validator's name, it is hard
to read and I am afraid it could potentially conflict later on. So
it's better to use a separator that cannot appear in validator
names.
Alongside a bunch of other stuff from the coverage list. In
particular, the mint transaction contains:
- reference inputs
- multiple outputs, with assets, and type-0, type-1 and type-6
addresses.
- an output with a datum hash
- an output with an inline script
- carries an extra datum witness, preimage of the embedded hash
- mint, with 2 policies purposely ordered wrongly, with 1 and 2
assets purposely ordered wrong. One of the mint is actually a
burn (i.e. negative quantity)
This is intense, as we still want to preserve the serializer for V1 &
V2, and I've tried as much as possible to avoid polluting the
application layer with many enum types such as:
```
pub enum TxOut {
V1(TransactionOutput),
V2(TransactionOutput),
V3(TransactionOutput),
}
```
Those types make working with the script context cumbersome, and are
only truly required to provide different serialisation strategies. So
instead, we keep one top-level `TxInfo V1/V2/V3` type, and we ensure
to pass serialization strategies as type wrappers.
This way, the strategy propagates through the structure up until it's
eliminated when it reaches the relevant types.
All-in-all, this strikes a correct balance between maintainability and
repetition; and it makes it possible to define _different but mostly
identical_ encoders for the various versions.
With it, I've been able to successfully encode a V3 script context and
match it against one produced using the Haskell libraries. More to
come.
