It made me think though, that the unit tests are very low level, and that it would be really nice to also have "test bitcoin as a black box using JSPON-RPC calls" approach.
So I was thinking about starting a Rails app that does the following thing :
Each time a commit is pushed upstream
- The code is fetched, and built
- The low level unit tests are run and results recorded
- If the build was successful, a defined wallet and blockchain dump are put in place
- The client is launched and given the opportunity to re-scan
- Behaviour tests are run (written in Ruby), for example :
Code:
class BasicTests < UnitTest
test "should honor credentials" do
response = Bitcoin::Client.rpc_call(wrong_credentials)
assert_equal 401, response.status
end
end
- Nice reporting and notifications are presented to developers and the public
So, my questions are :
- Does anyone think this is desirable,
- Would anyone be willing to contribute application code and tests code if I start and lead the project ?
That'll be all for now
