Structure

The project is stuctured into multiple directories:

  • generator - This folder contains the WFGUI applicatin and the zkWF program generator code.
  • editor - Modeler for the zkWF programs. Includes the extended BPMN attributes.
  • verifier - code for the state-manager smart contract
  • verifier_fabric - verifier smart contract for Hyperledger Fabric

Usage

WFGUI

To compile and run the WFGUI component of zkWF, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the generator directory.
  2. Run the following command to compile the WFGUI: ./gradlew gui:shadowjar (on Linux) or gradlew.bat gui:shadowjar (on Windows).
  3. Once the compilation process completes, navigate to the gui/build/libs directory.
  4. Launch the WFGUI by running the following command: java -jar WFGUI.jar

CLI

To compile the CLI tool, execute the following Gradle command: ./gradlew cli:shadowjar (on Linux) or gradlew.bat cli:shadowjar (on Windows).

  • The tool is compiled to a JAR called cli-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar.
  • To run test cases in a batch using the CLI component, use the following Java command: java -jar cli-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar [OPTIONS] <bpmnFile> <testCases>.
  • The available options are:
    • --deploy: Deploys the smart contract. Default is false.
    • --skip-setup: Skips the setup phase. Default is false.
    • --skip-tests: Skips all test cases and only does the setup and compilation phase. Default is false.
  • To list the available parameters for the CLI component, use the --help option.
