|
|
|
|
Git subtree of [https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc](https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc).
|
|
|
|
Changes to python-bitcoinrpc should be made upstream, and then
|
|
|
|
pulled here using git subtree.

Notes
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can run a single test by calling `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh <testname>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run all possible tests with `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh -extended`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Possible options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
|
|
--nocleanup Leave bitcoinds and test.* datadir on exit or error
|
|
|
|
--noshutdown Don't stop bitcoinds after the test execution
|
|
|
|
--srcdir=SRCDIR Source directory containing bitcoind/bitcoin-cli (default:
|
|
|
|
../../src)
|
|
|
|
--tmpdir=TMPDIR Root directory for datadirs
|
|
|
|
--tracerpc Print out all RPC calls as they are made
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you set the environment variable `PYTHON_DEBUG=1` you will get some debug output (example: `PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh wallet`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A 200-block -regtest blockchain and wallets for four nodes
|
|
|
|
is created the first time a regression test is run and
|
|
|
|
is stored in the cache/ directory. Each node has 25 mature
|
|
|
|
blocks (25*50=1250 BTC) in its wallet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the first run, the cache/ blockchain and wallets are
|
|
|
|
copied into a temporary directory and used as the initial
|
|
|
|
test state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you get into a bad state, you should be able
|
|
|
|
to recover with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
rm -rf cache
|
|
|
|
killall bitcoind
|
|
|
|
```
