btcpayserver/BTCPayServer.Tests

How to run the tests

The tests depends on having a proper environment running with Postgres, Bitcoind, NBxplorer configured. You can however use the docker-compose.yml of this folder to get it running.

This is running a bitcoind instance on regtest, a private bitcoin blockchain for testing on which you can generate blocks yourself.

docker-compose up nbxplorer

You can run the tests while it is running through your favorite IDE, or with

dotnet test

Once you want to stop

docker-compose down

If you want to stop, and remove all existing data

docker-compose down -v

You can run the tests inside a container by running

docker-compose run --rm tests

Send commands to bitcoind

You can call bitcoin-cli inside the container with docker exec, for example, if you want to send 0.23111090 to mohu16LH66ptoWGEL1GtP6KHTBJYXMWhEf:

docker exec -ti btcpayserver_dev_bitcoind bitcoin-cli -regtest -conf="/data/bitcoin.conf" -datadir="/data" sendtoaddress "mohu16LH66ptoWGEL1GtP6KHTBJYXMWhEf" 0.23111090

If you are using Powershell:

.\docker-bitcoin-cli.ps1 sendtoaddress "mohu16LH66ptoWGEL1GtP6KHTBJYXMWhEf" 0.23111090
