Build & Test

make init
make test

run specific test:

make test t=<test file / test name match pattern>

run with local docker testnet (requires initializing diem submodule):

make test t=<test file / test name match pattern> dt=1

Re-generate diem_types, stdlib, jsonrpc response data structures

git submodule update --init diem
cd diem
git pull origin main
cd ..
make gen
