Regression tests of RPC interface ================================= ### [python-bitcoinrpc](https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc) 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. ### [test_framework/test_framework.py](test_framework/test_framework.py) Base class for new regression tests. ### [test_framework/util.py](test_framework/util.py) Generally useful functions. Notes ===== You can run a single test by calling `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh `. 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 ```
