bdb-testnet-tests

Overview

This repository contains a script named bdb_test0.py to test a BigchainDB network's HTTP API. It sends HTTP POST requests to the BigchainDB node at https://SUBDOMAIN/api/v1/ where SUBDOMAIN might be node7.zorg-network.com, kelly.bdbtestnet.org or whatever.

Note: You can use Runscope or similar to test the HTTP GET endpoints.

Using bdb_test0.py

  1. Login to PagerDuty and get your PagerDuty SERVICE_KEY (Service "integration key"). (If you don't have or want to use PagerDuty, you can just use a random string.)
  2. Install the BigchainDB Python Driver
  3. Using Python 3:
    python3 bdb_test0.py SUBDOMAIN SERVICE_KEY
    

For fun, you can use Alberto's slack-post.py script to post the output on Slack.

You could set up a cron job to run the test daily, and post the result to Slack, by creating the following bash script. You could call it runtest.sh

#!/bin/bash
cd ~
python3 bdb_test0.py SUBDOMAIN SERVICE_KEY > output.txt
./slack-post.py -u testbot -w SLACK_WEBHOOK -c dev -f output.txt

(You must replace SUBDOMAIN, SERVICE_KEY and SLACK_WEBHOOK with valid values.)

Make sure that runtest.sh and slack-post.py are executable:

chmod +x runtest.sh
chomd +x slack-post.py

To create the cron job, do crontab -e to edit the crontab in a text editor, and add the following line:

00 09 * * * /home/username/runtest.sh

where username is your username (i.e. the output of whoami). The added line will run the bash script daily at 09:00.
