= Integration tests for eth protocol and blockpool
|
|
|
|
This is a simple suite of tests to fire up a local test node with peers to test blockchain synchronisation and download.
|
|
The scripts call ethereum (assumed to be compiled in go-ethereum root).
|
|
|
|
To run a test:
|
|
|
|
. run.sh 00 02
|
|
|
|
Without arguments, all tests are run.
|
|
|
|
Peers are launched with preloaded imported chains. In order to prevent them from synchronizing with each other they are set with `-dial=false` and `-maxpeer 1` options. They log into `/tmp/eth.test/nodes/XX` where XX is the last two digits of their port.
|
|
|
|
Chains to import can be bootstrapped by letting nodes mine for some time. This is done with
|
|
|
|
. bootstrap.sh
|
|
|
|
Only the relative timing and forks matter so they should work if the bootstrap script is rerun.
|
|
The reference blockchain of tests are soft links to these import chains and check at the end of a test run.
|
|
|
|
Connecting to peers and exporting blockchain is scripted with JS files executed by the JSRE, see `tests/XX.sh`.
|
|
|
|
Each test is set with a timeout. This may vary on different computers so adjust sensibly.
|
|
If you kill a test before it completes, do not forget to kill all the background processes, since they will impact the result. Use:
|
|
|
|
killall ethereum
|
