Rooms and files

Rooms#

A room is a separate local chain. It has its own chain id, its own data directory and its own history.

• A transaction signed for one room is invalid in every other room.
• The built-in main room is the canonical Solizone development chain, with chain id 9001.
• Other rooms get a chain id derived for them, and live under ~/.solicamp/rooms/<id>.

There is no reset

History in a room only grows. To start over, create a new room.

This is deliberate. It keeps chains honest and discourages spam and misuse, which matters once a room can be published or shared.

Files and folders#

Each room has its own workspace: plain .sol files in <room data dir>/contracts.

You can create, rename, move and delete files and folders from the file explorer. Files autosave.

Safe by default

The workspace checks every path before it touches the disk:

• no .., no absolute paths, no hidden names, no backslashes, no control characters
• depth of at most 8 folders, names of at most 100 characters
• files of at most 1 MB
• symlinks cannot be used to reach outside the workspace
• writes are atomic: the content goes to a temporary file first and then replaces the old one

Imports

compile_file runs the compiler with the workspace as its working directory and base path, so imports between files resolve.
