This allows us to re-use existing tests (assuming the call and fields are covered by `cln-rpc` and `cln-grpc`) to test the full roundtrip from test over the grpc interface to the json-rpc interface and back again. You can switch to the grpc interface by setting the `CLN_TEST_GRPC` environment variable to 1, but for now only very few shims are implemented (due to the non-generated nature of LightningRpc). |

pyln-testing: A library to write tests against Core Lightning
This library implements a number of utilities that help building tests for Core 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 Core 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 Core Lightning source code and installing into your python3 environment:
git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
cd lightning/contrib/pyln-testing
poetry install
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.
