Notes
=====
You can run a single test by calling `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh <testname>`.
Run all possible tests with `qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh -extended`.
Possible options:
````
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--nocleanup Leave bitcoinds and test.* datadir on exit or error
--noshutdown Don't stop bitcoinds after the test execution
--srcdir=SRCDIR Source directory containing bitcoind/bitcoin-cli (default:
../../src)
--tmpdir=TMPDIR Root directory for datadirs
--tracerpc Print out all RPC calls as they are made
```
If you set the environment variable `PYTHON_DEBUG=1` you will get some debug output (example: `PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh wallet`).
A 200-block -regtest blockchain and wallets for four nodes
is created the first time a regression test is run and
is stored in the cache/ directory. Each node has 25 mature
