BIP70 : Test vectors ?

[Nicolas Dorier]

I'm going to implement BIP70 in NBitcoin, the big problem is that I see nowhere any tests vector to ensure I process correctly the payments messages.
The bitcoin core source does not have any tests about that, and I see no reference implementation in the BIP.

Does someone know where I can find such test vectors ?

I don't think there are any test vectors. I think the best you can do is compare against bitcoinj and modify bitcoinj's tests to test your implementation.

This suck
I would prefer having less, or no explanation page for a BIP but some rudimentary test vectors, than a novel without one.

Feel free to create some; code here: https://github.com/gavinandresen/paymentrequest

Gavin, I will, thanks to point out your utils, I will use that to make some test messages.
Will update the BIP once I implemented a compliant port on NBitcoin.

Maybe you can include your tool as reference in the BIP, this would help implementers.

We should add a link to Gavin's tool in the new developer guide I think. And yes, test vectors are badly needed!

Sadly, between the protobuf package not existing anymore (I guess protobuf-compiler is the new name), and the make that does not work, I can't try out. (pushd, popd command not found)
Not sure it is a big problem, but it is definitively not for a linux illiterate like me, I'll run an eclipse and the BitcoinJ implementation instead.

holy cow Gavin host a running paymentrequest generator at https://bitcoincore.org/~gavin/createpaymentrequest.php,
Lucky enough to came accross it thanks to https://bitcoinj.github.io/payment-protocol#user-interface-considerations
Would have saved me so much time if I knew
