Testing cli_wallet

This is some quick notes on how to test cli_wallet locally. This procedure assumes you're running things manually (as opposed to using the Docker container).

make -j$(nproc) steemd && make -j$(nproc) cli_wallet && make -j$(nproc) get_dev_key
DATADIR=$HOME/data/wtest
mkdir -p "$DATADIR"
programs/steemd/steemd --data-dir="$DATADIR"
# Press Ctrl+C here
cat >> "$DATADIR/config.ini" <<EOF

webserver-ws-endpoint=127.0.0.1:8090
witness="initminer"
plugin=network_broadcast_api

EOF
(echo -n "private-key=" ; programs/util/get_dev_key "" init_key | cut -d '"' -f 4) >> "$DATADIR/config.ini"
programs/steemd/steemd --data-dir="$DATADIR" --enable-stale-production --required-participation=0

Now run the cli_wallet:

mkdir -p testwallet
cd testwallet
../programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet -w my.wallet -s ws://127.0.0.1:8090 --chain-id testnet

Now inside cli_wallet run some commands, check and make sure the output makes sense:

Websocket proxy

If things aren't going well, it may help to implement a proxy for Websockets. Here's a quick one I (@theoreticalbts) wrote using the tornado framework in Python (if you want to change the port numbers, you need to edit the script):

#!/usr/bin/env python3                                                                                                                                                                                              

import tornado.websocket

from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop

# A server websocket that interfaces to external client                                                                                                                                                             
class ProxyHandler(tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler):
    def open(self):
        print("Client websocket opened")

        self.server_connection_future = None
        self.server_connection = None
        self.server_url = "ws://127.0.0.1:8090/"

        self.server_connection_future = IOLoop.current().spawn_callback(self.open_server_connection)

    async def open_server_connection(self):
        self.server_connection = await tornado.websocket.websocket_connect(self.server_url)

    async def on_message(self, req_message):
        print("Client:   {}".format(req_message))
        if self.server_connection is None:
            await self.server_connection_future
        await self.server_connection.write_message(req_message)
        resp_message = await self.server_connection.read_message()
        print("Server:   {}".format(resp_message))
        await self.write_message(resp_message)

    def on_close(self):
        print("Client websocket closed")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = tornado.web.Application([
     (r"/", ProxyHandler),
    ])

    http_server = tornado.httpserver.HTTPServer(app)
    http_server.listen(8092)
    IOLoop.current().start()
