So much has changed since I originally got the RPC tests working many years ago, most notably modern Linux distros don't even have a way to install python2 via packages, you have to install from source. Continuing with python2 does not seem like a good idea, so we begin migrating thigns to Python 3. Currently running ./test.sh will successfully spin up a test chain but then the test suite crashes when attempting to send an RPC request, which looks to be caused by the test suite internals still expecting python2.
Regression tests of RPC interface
test_framework/test_framework.py
Base class for RPC regression tests.
test_framework/util.py
Generally useful functions.
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 binaries and test.* datadir on exit or error
--noshutdown Don't stop full node after the test execution
--srcdir=SRCDIR Source directory containing hushd/hush-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 the miner
subsidy from 25 mature blocks (25*10=250 HUSH) 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 hushd
but beware that could kill various other processes you might not want to kill!
