Paths to executables

TestTools contains module which handles paths to executables using by TestTools (like hived, cli_wallet, and so on...). You can configure which executables should be used in following ways:

  1. set directly in script
  2. passed as command line arguments
  3. environment variables
  4. executable installation

If you have paths configured in multiple ways (i.e. you have installed hived and also passed its path as command line argument), they will be used with its priorities. Priorities are same as in list above; path set directly in script is the most important, less important is path passed as command line argument and so on. So in example mentioned earlier, installed hived will be ignored and hived path passed as command line argument will be used.

Set paths directly in script

You can set path to executable directly in your script like on example below:

import test_tools as tt
tt.paths_to_executables.set_path_of('hived', '/home/dev/hive/programs/hived/hived')

Pass paths as command line arguments

To pass path as command line argument you have to run your script with one of following parameters:

Executable Argument name
All executables --build-root-path
hived --hived-path
cli_wallet --cli-wallet-path
get_dev_key --get-dev-key-path
compress_block_log --compress-block-log-path
block_log_util --block-log-util-path

Example run with all executables from selected path:

python3 my_script.py --build-root-path="/home/dev/hive/build"

Example run with custom hived path:

python3 my_script.py --hived-path="/home/dev/hive/build/programs/hived/hived"

Define paths as environment variables

To define path using environment variables you have to use following variable names:

Executable Variable name
All executables HIVE_BUILD_ROOT_PATH
hived HIVED_PATH
cli_wallet CLI_WALLET_PATH
get_dev_key GET_DEV_KEY_PATH
compress_block_log COMPRESS_BLOCK_LOG_PATH
block_log_util BLOCK_LOG_UTIL_PATH
libfaketime LIBFAKETIME_PATH

Example run with all executables from selected path:

HIVE_BUILD_ROOT_PATH="/home/dev/hive/build/" python3 my_script.py

Example run with custom hived path:

HIVED_PATH="/home/dev/hive/build/programs/hived/hived" python3 my_script.py

Install executables

Installed executables will be automatically detected.
