Remove phase0~capella state transition tests from testgen
Address #3634
Remove phase0-capella state transition tests:
- epoch_processing
- finality
- ~~fork_choice~~
- forks
- genesis
- light_client
- operations
- random
- rewards
- sanity
- sync
- transition
Note:
- The tests written in phase0 folder will still be included in the Deneb test vectors.
- We will still run tests on CI with minimal presets.
the idea is generally that these test vectors don't change, esp once we have gotten to a particular fork (e.g. phase0-capella test data doesn't change with respect to deneb)
and so we want to drop this test generation from the produced test corpus -- so that it becomes smaller
I think this is fine -- one thing to not is that assuming the test outputs don't change, then you can go to a previous release of the spec tests and get the data still; so this just changes the way we handle the data, and doesn't change what test data is available
it sounds like your intention is no change to how it currently works for deneb, and in either case we will still run all tests in CI (w/ minimal preset)
one thing I would also suggest is that we just ensure we do run the "full" test suite once per spec release, just so we can ensure the tests all pass -- and then under this PR we would just skip generating the test artifacts
I am closing this issue because it seems stale. Please, do not hesitate to reopen it if this is a mistake
