If ZMQ is enabled, check whether it's installed before running ZMQ tests. If it isn't, disable ZMQ and print a warning. Also add dependency info to test docs, so users know ZMQ is required before running tests, and so they know how to install it. When following the build instructions before this change then trying to run the RPC tests, a unix user would get an error when python tried to import zmq. There may be other dependencies that should be added to the docs, particularly ones for non-unix systems. This is the only unlisted dependency I encountered using linux.

The [pull-tester](/qa/pull-tester/) folder contains a script to call
|
|
multiple tests from the [rpc-tests](/qa/rpc-tests/) folder.
|
|
|
|
Every pull request to the bitcoin repository is built and run through
|
|
the regression test suite. You can also run all or only individual
|
|
tests locally.
|
|
|
|
Test dependencies
|
|
=================
|
|
Before running the tests, the following must be installed.
|
|
|
|
Unix
|
|
----
|
|
The python-zmq library is required. On Ubuntu or Debian it can be installed via:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-zmq
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running tests
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
You can run any single test by calling `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py <testname>`.
|
|
|
|
Or you can run any combination of tests by calling `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py <testname1> <testname2> <testname3> ...`
|
|
|
|
Run the regression test suite with `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py`
|
|
|
|
Run all possible tests with `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py -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
|
|
--coveragedir=COVERAGEDIR
|
|
Write tested RPC commands into this directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you set the environment variable `PYTHON_DEBUG=1` you will get some debug
|
|
output (example: `PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Writing tests
|
|
=============
|
|
You are encouraged to write tests for new or existing features.
|
|
Further information about the test framework and individual rpc
|
|
tests is found in [qa/rpc-tests](/qa/rpc-tests).
