Production Gate

Back to Production Readiness

Overview

The single most important command before any production deployment:

make production-gate

This runs the full validation pipeline:

Step	Command	What It Checks
1. Formatting	cargo fmt --all -- --check	Code style consistency
2. Linting	cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings	Rust code quality and common mistakes
3. Release build	cargo build --release	Compilation succeeds with optimizations
4. Full test suite	cargo test --workspace --all-features	Rust unit, integration, manifest, runtime, and E2E tests
5. Tooling tests	make tooling-test	TypeScript tooling packages build and test
6. Tooling lint	make tooling-lint	Tooling ESLint checks pass
7. Runtime tests	make runtime-test	Maintained optional C# runtime test slice passes
8. E2E tests	cargo test --test e2e_compilation_tests -- --test-threads=4	All example contracts compile correctly
9. Strict sweep	STRICT_SWEEP_FAIL_ON_UNEXPECTED_WARNINGS=1 make test-compile-strict	No unexpected warnings in devpack or examples
10. Smoke tests	make test-deploy-smoke-full	All 16+ deploy/invoke scenarios pass on Neo-Express

If make production-gate passes, the compiler toolchain is verified end-to-end.

WARNING

Never skip the production gate before deploying to TestNet or MainNet. It catches regressions that unit tests alone cannot detect.
