Status bindings for go-ethereum

Docs

Intro

status-go is an underlying part of Status - a browser, messenger, and gateway to a decentralized world.

It's written in Go and requires Go 1.8 or above.

It uses Makefile to do most common actions. See make help output for available commands.

status-go uses forked ethereum-go with some changes in it, located under vendor/ dir.

Build

There are two main modes status-go can be built:

standalone server
library to link for Android or iOS

Use following Makefile commands:

make statusgo (builds binary into build/bin/statusd)
make statusgo-android) (builds .aar file build/android-16/aar)
make statusgo-ios and make statusgo-ios-simulator (builds iOS related artifacts in build/os-9.3/framework)

Testing

To setup accounts passphrase you need to setup an environment variable: export ACCOUNT_PASSWORD="secret_pass_phrase".

To test statusgo, use: make ci. To test statusgo using a giving network by name, use: make ci networkid=rinkeby. To test statusgo using a giving network by id number, use: make ci networkid=3.

If you want to launch specific test, for instance RPCSendTransactions, use the following command:

go test -v ./geth/api/ -testify.m ^RPCSendTransaction$

Note -testify.m as testify/suite is used to group individual tests.
