Alex Morcos fd4bd5009e Add RPC call abandontransaction - Make wallet descendant searching more efficient - Add new rpc call: abandontransaction Unconfirmed transactions that are not in your mempool either due to eviction or other means may be unlikely to be mined. abandontransaction gives the wallet a way to no longer consider as spent the coins that are inputs to such a transaction. All dependent transactions in the wallet will also be marked as abandoned. - Add RPC test for abandoned and conflicted transactions. - [Wallet] Call notification signal when a transaction is abandoned Github-Pull: #7312 Rebased-From: `9e69717254` `01e06d1fa3` `df0e2226d9` `d11fc1695c`		2016-01-13 15:55:00 +01:00

README.md

The pull-tester folder contains a script to call multiple tests from the rpc-tests folder.

Every pull request to the bitcoin repository is built and run through the regression test suite. You can also run all or only individual tests locally.

Running tests

You can run any single test by calling qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py <testname>.

Or you can run any combination of tests by calling qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py <testname1> <testname2> <testname3> ...

Run the regression test suite with qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py

Run all possible tests with qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py -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
  --coveragedir=COVERAGEDIR
                        Write tested RPC commands into this directory

If you set the environment variable PYTHON_DEBUG=1 you will get some debug output (example: PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py 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:

rm -rf cache
killall bitcoind

Writing tests

You are encouraged to write tests for new or existing features. Further information about the test framework and individual rpc tests is found in qa/rpc-tests.
