How to be started for development
BTCPay Server tests depend 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.
In addition, when you run a debug session of BTCPay (Hitting F5 on Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2017), it will run the launch profile called Docker-Regtest. This launch profile depends on this docker-compose 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 dev
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
