Developers will find these mechanisms useful for prototyping variant Hyperledger Fabric based systems.

Make sure you have a properly configured Hyperledger Fabric development environment.

From the fabric root folder

git clone https://github.com/jeffgarratt/fabric-prototype.git
cd fabric-prototype

    sudo pip install virtualenv
    sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
    export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs
    source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Virtual Environment Guide

    mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 behave_venv

This will automaticall switch you to the new environment if successful. In the future, you can switch to the virtual environment using the workon command as shown below.

    workon behave_venv

NOTE: If you have issues installing the modules below, and you are running the vagrant environment, consider performing a vagrant destroy followed by a vagrant up.

You can install either using fixed versions with a requirments file or by installing the latest based upon pip.

pip install -r requirements.txt

    pip install behave
    pip install grpcio-tools
    pip install "pysha3==1.0b1"
    pip install b3j0f.aop
    pip install jinja2
    # The pyopenssl install gives errors, but installs succeeds
    pip install pyopenssl
    pip install ecdsa
    pip install python-slugify
    pip install pyyaml

Behave requires the peer executable for packaging deployments. To make the peer execute the following command.

#Change to the root fabric folder to perform the following commands.
cd ..

# Optionally perform the following clean if you are unsure of your environments state.
make clean
make peer

The peer executable will be located in the build/bin folder. Make sure that your PATH enviroment variable contains the location. Execute the following command if necessary.

    export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/build/bin

The behave system also uses several docker containers. Execute the following commands to create the required docker containers.

    make peer-docker
    make orderer-docker

Change back to the bddtests folder (Where this readme is located) to execute subsequent behave commands.

    cd fabric-prototype

The following behave commands should be executed from within this folder.

    behave -k

    behave -k features/bootstrap.feature

Once you are done using behave and you wish to switch back to your normal python environment, issue the following command.

    deactivate
