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
skeleton.py : Copy this to create new regression tests.
listtransactions.py : Tests for the listtransactions RPC call
util.py : generally useful functions
Bash-based tests, to be ported to Python:
-----------------------------------------
wallet.sh : Exercise wallet send/receive code.
walletbackup.sh : Exercise wallet backup / dump / import
txnmall.sh : Test proper accounting of malleable transactions
conflictedbalance.sh : More testing of malleable transaction handling
Notes
=====
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 their 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
