# DemoBench
|
|
|
|
DemoBench is a standalone desktop application that makes it easy to configure
|
|
and launch local Corda nodes. Its general usage is documented
|
|
[here](https://docs.corda.net/demobench.html).
|
|
|
|
## Running locally
|
|
|
|
**MacOSX/Linux:**
|
|
|
|
./gradlew tools:demobench:installDist
|
|
cd tools/demobench/build/install/demobench
|
|
bin/demobench
|
|
|
|
**Windows:**
|
|
|
|
gradlew tools:demobench:installDist
|
|
cd tools\demobench\build\install\demobench
|
|
|
|
and then
|
|
|
|
bin\demobench
|
|
|
|
or, if Windows complains that the command line is too long:
|
|
|
|
java -Djava.util.logging.config.class=net.corda.demobench.config.LoggingConfig -jar lib\demobench-$version.jar
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
### The Notary Node
|
|
|
|
When launched, DemoBench will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clicking the `Start node` button should launch a new Notary node.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tab should display the correct national flag for the node's geographical
|
|
location. The `View Database`, `Launch Web Server` and `Launch Explorer` buttons
|
|
will be disabled until the node has finished booting, at which point the node
|
|
statistics (`States in vault`, `Known transactions` and `Balance`) will become
|
|
populated too.
|
|
|
|
The Corda node should boot into a shell with a command prompt. Type `help` at
|
|
this command prompt to list the commands available, followed by `dashboard`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Press `q` to exit the dashboard, and then check the tab's buttons:
|
|
|
|
- Press `View Database` to launch the H2 database's Web console in your browser.
|
|
Pressing this button again should launch a second console session.
|
|
- Press the `Launch Web Server` button to launch the Corda Webserver for this
|
|
node. Once booted, it should open your browser to a page saying:
|
|
> ### Installed CorDaps
|
|
> No installed custom CorDapps
|
|
|
|
- The button's text should now have changed to `Reopen web site`. Pressing the
|
|
button again should open a new session in your browser.
|
|
|
|
- Press the `Launch Explorer` button to launch the [Node Explorer](https://docs.corda.net/node-explorer.html) for this notary. You should be logged into the
|
|
Explorer automatically. The `Launch Explorer` button should now remain disabled
|
|
until you close this node's Explorer again.
|
|
|
|
### The Bank Node
|
|
|
|
Click the `Add Node` button, and DemoBench will ask you to configure another
|
|
node in a new tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This time, there will be additional services available. Select `corda.cash` and
|
|
`corda.issuer.GBP`, and then press the `Start node` button.
|
|
|
|
When you press the `Launch Web Server` this time, your browser should open to a
|
|
page saying:
|
|
> ### Installed CorDapps
|
|
> **net.corda.bank.plugin.BankOfCordaPlugin**<br/>
|
|
> net.corda.bank.api.BankOfCordaWebApi:
|
|
> - POST issue-asset-request
|
|
> - GET date
|
|
|
|
Clicking on the `GET date` link should return today's date within a JSON document.
|
|
|
|
Launch the bank's Node Explorer, and check the network view. The Notary node
|
|
should be displayed in Rome, whereas the Bank of Breakfast Tea should be in
|
|
Liverpool.
|
|
|
|
## Saving / Loading profiles
|
|
|
|
Choose `File/Save As` from DemoBench's main menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Save the profile and then examine its contents (ZIP format). It should look
|
|
something like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Length Date Time Name
|
|
--------- ---------- ----- ----
|
|
0 05-25-2017 11:57 notary/
|
|
490 05-25-2017 11:57 notary/node.conf
|
|
0 05-25-2017 11:57 notary/plugins/
|
|
0 05-25-2017 11:57 bankofbreakfasttea/
|
|
673 05-25-2017 11:57 bankofbreakfasttea/node.conf
|
|
0 05-25-2017 11:57 bankofbreakfasttea/plugins/
|
|
--------- -------
|
|
1163 6 files
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now choose `File/Open` from the main menu, and select the profile that you have
|
|
just saved. DemoBench should close the two existing tabs and then relaunch the
|
|
Notary and Bank nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Exiting DemoBench
|
|
|
|
Close DemoBench as a normal application on your platform; it should close any
|
|
open Node Explorers before exiting.
