Spock tests for libconsensus about consensusj HOT 8 CLOSED

Currently it's really just one function to verify, whether some script executes correctly:

from consensusj.

No JVM bindings yet, according to Google and doc/shared-libraries.md. How hard do you think they would be to create?

from consensusj.

In February I asked on the bitcoinj mailing list in a post titled libconsensus JVM bindings and the link to the Lighthouse project was taken down.

I did some work with JNI 10+ years ago, but from the comments it sounds like JNA is a better way to go.

Do you have any interest in working on this @dexX7 ?

from consensusj.

@msgilligan: I'm only a bit familiar with this, but I was curious and gave it a try! :)

The actual binding sits in LibBitcoinConsensus.java and I started with a more convenient wrapper in BitcoinConsensus.java.

For a quick usage, check out the .travis.yml. Rudamentary JUnit tests are available.

Nice, @dexX7 ! Can't wait to try it out.

from consensusj.

Would you accept a pull request with some Spock tests?

from consensusj.

Sure! I also added you as collaborator, just in case. I think there are a few interesting paths from here: it could become a plain wrapper, or combined with bitcoinj (I'm mostly thinking about the script/transaction representing classes), and I don't have specific plans.

from consensusj.

Well, it seems the logical place for the Spock Tests would be in your new project, so I'm going to close this issue and forward it to dexX7/java-libbitcoinconsensus#1.
