NAME

Test::Bitcoin::Daemon - Test RPC commands against a temporary instance of bitcoind

SYNOPSIS

  use Test::Bitcoin::Daemon;
  my $bitcoind = new Test::Bitcoin::Daemon;
  my $rpc_url = $bitcoind->url;
  my $rpc_user = $bitcoind->username;
  my $rpc_pass = $bitcoind->pass;
  ...

DESCRIPTION

A Test::Bitcoin::Daemon object will create a bitcoind testnet instance to use for testing. Once the object gets destroyed, the instance will be stopped and the temporary directories it used will be removed.

If caller crashes without allowing this module to clean up after itself, temporary files will be left behind. If your system doesn't purge these files automatically, look in your temp directory for a subdirectory containing a testnet3 entry and remove it. In Linux the temp directory is usually in /tmp.
