## Quick Testing

### Use Virtual Env

[virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io) helps provide a clean environment, suggest to use it to test.

`sh $ pip install virtualenv # install the virtualenv tool if not installed $ make venv # create a virtual env $ source venv/bin/activate $ # Do the testing here $ deactivate # deactive the virtual env $ make clean # clean the temporary files `

### Run Integration Testing The following command will run the testing. `sh $ make check # Check environment and run tests $ make test # Only run test cases $ tox -e py30 -- test/integration/ca_test.py # Run specified test case `

## Generating Docker images The following command will build the Docker image hyperledger/fabric-sdk-py.

`sh $ make image `

## Regenerating protos

Make sure you have grpcio-tools installed (pip install grpcio-tools) `sh make proto `
