Christian Decker 7201cb7315 pytest: Configure logging in a fixture to match stdout capturing
pytest captures the output by monkey patching out `sys.stdout`. This may
conflict with our use of `sys.stdout` when configuring logging, resulting in
the "Write to closed file" issue that is spamming the logs. By making the
logging configuration a fixture hopefully we always use the correct
stdout (after pytest has monkey-patched it).

pyln-testing: A library to write tests against c-lightning

This library implements a number of utilities that help building tests for c-lightning nodes. In particular it provides a number of pytest fixtures that allow the management of a test network of a given topology and then execute a test scenarion.

pyln-testing is used by c-lightning for its internal tests, and by the community plugin directory to exercise the plugins.

Installation

pyln-testing is available on pip:

pip install pyln-testing

Alternatively you can also install the development version to get access to currently unreleased features by checking out the c-lightning source code and installing into your python3 environment:

git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
cd lightning/contrib/pyln-testing
python3 setup.py develop

This will add links to the library into your environment so changing the checked out source code will also result in the environment picking up these changes. Notice however that unreleased versions may change API without warning, so test thoroughly with the released version.
