How better to handle fork of zombienet feature?

[dzmitry-lahoda]

I want feature of fork-of-substrate in zombienet. To run from state of real chain.

How should I approach this imlementation? Can it be purely external to zombienet, so I just download state snapshot, make it more "local", and just feed into zombient? What would be config parameters?

Will it require some modifications to zombienet?

Hi @dzmitry-lahoda, this is a feature that we will want to add at some point. I think the best approach is to use a combinations of steps to get the fork working. At first get the state and feed into zombienet to customize the chain-spec with the needed info to make it works (e.g keys / paras / etc ), then spawn the desired network and wire everything together.

I will ping you when we have a PoC.

Thanks!
