The genesis blocks and miner tests have been regenerated, because changing the block header serialisation format changes the block hash, and thus validity. The Equihash solutions have been removed from the bloom test inputs for simplicity (block validity is not checked there; only a valid serialisation is necessary).
Regression tests of RPC interface
python-bitcoinrpc
Git subtree of 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
Base class for new 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 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
```
