How to configure the environment for the project:

1. You should have python (preferably the latest stable release) on your machine To install python, checkout the Python website. It is recommended to use virtualenv to run. Please refer to the Python website for more information.

2. Create your venv in console: python3 -m venv venv

3. Activate your venv in console: source venv/bin/activate

4. Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt in root directory of the project to install all dependencies.

How to Run the tests:

1. Start your erigon DEV node and rpcdaemon node. There is a guide on how to do this in the DEV_CHAIN. Please make sure you pull latest code before running the tests.

2. Run tests either one by one, or all together:

locally:

1. For all tests to execute: run python3 -m pytest when being in erigon-automated-testing directory. In order to run specific test to run you may execute: python3 -m pytest tests/test_block_creation_mvp.py::TestMVPTestCase::test_valid_transactions
2. In a case of failed tests results are printed on screen and detailed report is kept in result.xml

Use --no-skips to run even 'skipped' tests
