Running Smoke Tests for Forest's RPC API

Prerequisites

The only requirement for running these smoke tests is that Forest is installed and on your system PATH.

Running the Tests

• Use make install to create a binary on your path
• Run make smoke-test

This will execute a blank request to all endpoints listed defined and check the HTTP status code of the response. If a response is received, this should be considered a good test, even if an error has occurred. No parameters are passed to the API endpoints. An OK will be displayed if a test passes, and a FAIL will be displayed with an HTTP/curl code if a test fails.

Adding Future Endpoints

Endpoints in the script ./scripts/smoke_test.sh are stored in an array identified as RPC_ENDPOINTS.

Add the endpoint identifier minus the prefix Forest to the module that it belongs to (ie gas, net, state, etc) or add a new section if a new API is added.

This should be checked during the review process if new API methods are added to keep this script and test suite up to date.
