THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER ACTIVELY MAINTAINED

Purpose

Originally the bdk project used the images created by this repo for github actions integration testing for its electrum and esplora blockchain client modules. But the new solution for bdk blockchain testing is to use the bitcoind and electrsd rust crates which are easier to maintain, allow parallel testing, and don't require docker. For local bdk and bdk-cli testing without using this repo see below instructions.

Local BDK Testing

To run the blockchain integration tests for bdk the required daemons are now automatically installed, started, and stopped by cargo test, all you need to do is specify the correct features.

NOTE: On a MacOS system you will get pop-up warnings that you must click "OK" for.

For example, from your clone of bdk:

cargo test --no-default-features --features test-electrum electrum::bdk_blockchain_tests
cargo test --no-default-features --features test-rpc rpc::bdk_blockchain_tests
cargo test --no-default-features --features test-esplora,use-esplora-reqwest esplora::bdk_blockchain_tests
cargo test --no-default-features --features test-esplora,use-esplora-ureq esplora::bdk_blockchain_tests

Local BDK-CLI Testing

To manually test bdk-cli in regtest mode with locally installed bitcoind and electrs daemons you will need to install them yourself.

  1. Manually download and install the bitcoincore.org bitcoind daemon and bitcoin-cli binaries
  2. Build from source and install the romanz electrs daemon
  3. Install bdk-cli from your clone with cargo install --features electrum --path . or from crates.io cargo install --features electrum bdk-cli

With all above binaries in your local local $PATH you can run them in regtest mode and use them for manual bdk-cli testing like this:

mkdir -p /tmp/regtest1/bitcoind /tmp/regtest1/electrs
bitcoind -datadir=/tmp/regtest1/bitcoind -regtest -server -fallbackfee=0.0002 -rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0 -rpcbind=0.0.0.0 -blockfilterindex=1 -peerblockfilters=1 -daemon
electrs --daemon-dir /tmp/regtest1/bitcoind --db-dir /tmp/regtest1/electrs --network regtest

In a new shell:

# 1. create bitcoind test wallet and generate regtest test coins
bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/regtest1/bitcoind createwallet bdk-test
GEN_ADDRESS=$(bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/regtest1/bitcoind getnewaddress)
bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/regtest1/bitcoind generatetoaddress 101 $GEN_ADDRESS

# 2. sync wallet via the electrum APIs

bdk-cli -n regtest wallet --server tcp://127.0.0.1:60401 --descriptor $DESCRIPTOR sync

bdk-cli -n regtest wallet --server tcp://127.0.0.1:60401 --descriptor $DESCRIPTOR get_balance
 
# 4. kill the electrs and bitcoind containers when you're done
pkill electrs bitcoind

# 5. remove the /tmp data
rm -rf /tmp/regtest1
rm -rf ~/.bdk-bitcoin

Github actions

Below are examples of how to use the images created by this project in github actions jobs:

electrum test job

 test-electrum:
     name: Test Electrum
     runs-on: ubuntu-16.04
     container: bitcoindevkit/electrs:<version>
     env:
       BDK_RPC_AUTH: COOKIEFILE
       BDK_RPC_COOKIEFILE: /root/.bitcoin/regtest/.cookie
       BDK_RPC_URL: 127.0.0.1:18443
       BDK_RPC_WALLET: bdk-test

     ...

Local bdk testing

Below is an example of how to run bdk electrum blockchain tests locally using the electrs docker image:

 # start the electrs docker container
 docker run -p 127.0.0.1:18443-18444:18443-18444/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:60401:60401/tcp --detach --rm --name electrs bitcoindevkit/electrs

 # confirm electrs is running
 docker logs electrs

 # get a copy of the bitcoind .cookie file
 # this needs to be done each time you run the container because the cookie file will change
 docker cp electrs:/root/.bitcoin/regtest/.cookie /tmp/regtest.cookie

 # in new shell from the `bdk` project repo directory run blockchains integration tests
 export BDK_RPC_AUTH=COOKIEFILE
 export BDK_RPC_COOKIEFILE=/tmp/regtest.cookie
 export BDK_RPC_URL=127.0.0.1:18443
 export BDK_RPC_WALLET=bdk-test
 export BDK_ELECTRUM_URL=tcp://127.0.0.1:60401
 
 cargo test --features electrum,test-blockchains --no-default-features electrum::bdk_blockchain_tests
 
 # kill the electrs container when you're done
 docker kill electrs

Below is an example of how to run bdk esplora blockchain tests locally using the esplora docker image:

 # start the esplora docker container
 docker run -p 127.0.0.1:18443-18444:18443-18444/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:60401:60401/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:3002:3002/tcp --detach --rm --name esplora bitcoindevkit/esplora

 # confirm esplora is running
 docker logs esplora
     
 # get a copy of the bitcoind .cookie file
 # this needs to be done each time you run the container because the cookie file will change
 docker cp esplora:/root/.bitcoin/regtest/.cookie /tmp/regtest.cookie

 # in new shell from the `bdk` project repo directory run blockchains integration tests
 export BDK_RPC_AUTH=COOKIEFILE
 export BDK_RPC_COOKIEFILE=/tmp/regtest.cookie
 export BDK_RPC_URL=127.0.0.1:18443
 export BDK_RPC_WALLET=bdk-test
 export BDK_ELECTRUM_URL=tcp://127.0.0.1:60401
 export BDK_ESPLORA_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3002
 
 cargo test --features esplora,test-blockchains --no-default-features esplora::bdk_blockchain_tests
 
 # kill the esplora container when you're done
 docker kill esplora

Local bdk-cli testing

Below is an example of how to test bdk-cli with electrum or esplora server APIs locally using the esplora docker image:

 # start esplora docker container
 docker run -p 127.0.0.1:18443-18444:18443-18444/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:60401:60401/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:3002:3002/tcp --detach --rm --name esplora bitcoindevkit/esplora
 
 # in a new shell sync wallet via the electrum APIs
 bdk-cli -n regtest wallet --server tcp://127.0.0.1:60401 --descriptor "wpkh(tpubEBr4i6yk5nf5DAaJpsi9N2pPYBeJ7fZ5Z9rmN4977iYLCGco1VyjB9tvvuvYtfZzjD5A8igzgw3HeWeeKFmanHYqksqZXYXGsw5zjnj7KM9/*)" sync     
 
 # or sync wallet via the esplora APIs
 bdk-cli -n regtest wallet --esplora http://127.0.0.1:3002 --descriptor "wpkh(tpubEBr4i6yk5nf5DAaJpsi9N2pPYBeJ7fZ5Z9rmN4977iYLCGco1VyjB9tvvuvYtfZzjD5A8igzgw3HeWeeKFmanHYqksqZXYXGsw5zjnj7KM9/*)" sync
 
 # kill the esplora container when you're done
 docker kill esplora   

Create aliases with the electrs container for local regtest electrum testing

alias elstart='docker run --detach --rm -p 127.0.0.1:18443-18444:18443-18444/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:60401:60401/tcp --name electrs bitcoindevkit/electrs'
alias elstop='docker kill electrs'
alias ellogs='docker container logs electrs'
alias elcli='docker exec -it electrs /root/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/root/.bitcoin $@'

Use aliases with the esplora container for local regtest electrum and esplora testing

alias esstart='docker run --detach --rm -p 127.0.0.1:18443-18444:18443-18444/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:60401:60401/tcp -p 127.0.0.1:3002:3002/tcp --name esplora bitcoindevkit/esplora'
alias esstop='docker kill esplora'
alias eslogs='docker container logs esplora'
alias escli='docker exec -it esplora /root/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/root/.bitcoin $@'

Use aliases to start an electrum container, view logs, run bitcoind cli commands, and stop the container

elstart  
ellogs  
elcli help    
elcli getwalletinfo    
elcli getnewaddress  
elstop  

Build local regtest bitcoind, electrs and esplora docker images and push to docker hub

These steps are only needed if you are a maintainer creating new versions of the published docker images for this project.

  1. Login to docker hub

    docker login
