Community TESTNET update 19th October 2018

After HF20 stabilizing, many from the community members started working towards implementing a testing procedure (Hive account@yuriks2000, Hive account@bobinson, Hive account@yehey, Hive account@reggaemuffin, Hive account@gtg, Hive account@holger80, Hive account@ayogom, Hive account@quochuy & many more). We are loosely connected via a discord group and various activities are taken up. I was trying to make Tinman based transaction generation better and also test new commits. Test results for v0.20.6rc1 which will be eventually the next release of the STEEM code base is in the last phase.

This update mainly mentions the small inputs to Tinman.

What is Tinman ?

Tinman is a setup scripts used to take snapshot of the mainnet, generate transactions etc for TESTing purposes. The code is actively maintained by Hive account@inertia and others from Steemit.

what is involved in this update

A small set of changes which will implement PEP-8 coding style to the Tinman codebase and the resulting PR.

Testing

Transactions are submitted using:

( echo '["set_secret", {"secret":"xyz-"}]' ; tinman txgen -c txgen.conf ) | tinman keysub | tinman submit -t https://testnet.steemitdev.com --signer sign_transaction -f fail.json

what is next ?

I have used codeclimate to generate quick statistics. These are more or less just indicators as opposed the rules to be followed.

Also an attempt to run code quality testing is done. A snapshot is given below and will publish more details when some of the issues in the Gitlab based pipeline is sorted out.

Thanks for using utopian-io tags and for the work on tinman, bobinson. PEP8 is definitely as a must for Python projects. It's good to see an effort to fix that issue.

However, looks like the contribution is not merged yet and under discussions as I can see from the pull request, and we have a policy on that:
