anywhere in the test. You will then be able to inspect variables, as well as
call methods that interact with the bitcoind nodes-under-test.
If further introspection of the bitcoind instances themselves becomes
necessary, this can be accomplished by first setting a pdb breakpoint
at an appropriate location, running the test to that point, then using
`gdb` to attach to the process and debug.
For instance, to attach to `self.node[1]` during a run:
```bash
2017-06-27 14:13:56.686000 TestFramework (INFO): Initializing test directory /tmp/user/1000/testo9vsdjo3
```
use the directory path to get the pid from the pid file:
```bash
cat /tmp/user/1000/testo9vsdjo3/node1/regtest/bitcoind.pid
gdb /home/example/bitcoind <pid>
```
Note: gdb attach step may require `sudo`
### Util tests
Util tests can be run locally by running `test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py`.
