When consuming fixtures, we are currently semi-directly able to run the state/blockchain/tx tests. (Sample fixtures: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-spec-tests/releases/tag/pectra-devnet-6%40v1.0.0)

Steps:

• Download the fixtures release and unzip it. This currently yields 4 folders:
  • blockchain_tests
  • state_tests
  • transaction_tests
  • blockchain_tests_engine
• Move the state_tests and blockchain_tests inside ./packages/ethereum-tests/fixtures (create folder if not there)
• Run state tests: cd ./packages/vm && npm run test:state -- --dir=../fixtures --fork=Prague
• Run blockchain tests: cd ./packages/vm && npm run test:blockchain -- --dir=../fixtures --fork=Prague
• Move the transaction_tests inside ./packages/ethereum-tests/TransactionTests
• Run transaction tests: cd ./packages/tx && npx vitest run ./test/transactionRunner.spec.ts

We currently have no way to run blockchain_tests_engine.

This should be added to the client.
