How to run tests?
haadcode opened this issue · 5 comments
I'm not getting far with uport-persona package and digging into the code, trying to run the tests for uport-registry they all just timeout.
I'm running an ipfs node and testrpc and trying to run the tests with npm run test.
What gives? What do I need to run to have the test pass? Geth? Which parameters?
Pardon my ignorance re. Ethereum ecosystem and tools, I have no idea what I need to setup to up and running.
You can use something called testrpc that simulates the ethereum blockchain. To install it you run npm i -g ethereumjs-testrpc then run testrpc in the terminal. Note that each time you start the testrpc you will get a clean slate, ie. everything you've registerd before will be gone.
This should be put in the readme.
Hey @haadcode! Sorry about the troubles! We use the Truffle development environment to compile contracts etc and it has recently been updated to a new version which requires some migration.
Got it all working now! It was indeed a matter of running ethereumjs-testrpc instead of the python testrpc.
PR incoming.
