Help needed in testing a tox client,I need some dummy toxids to test .

[blprasad]

Though it's not a real issue. I am seeking help here because, I don't know where to seek.
I am experimenting with toxic client. I am trying to add few Tox Id's to my client for testing.I just want to show them in a menu in contacts list. How and where do I get some dummy tox Ids for testing.
I only got two machines on which I run a toxic client on each, these two client's Ids are only added to each other.If I want to add more Tox Ids on each of them how do I do that? I want to show some dummy ids and their corresponding names in a menu.As I could not get more tox Ids I cannot test the menu.

Thanks in advance

You can start multiple toxes on one machine. You can also use tox-testbot (https://github.com/tox-user/tox-testbot). Run it with testbot.py -b 10 to spawn 10 test bots you can add. They will start doing random things, but you can remove the code that does that if you don't need it.

iphydf, thanks for input

If I try running multiple instances of toxic client , I am getting same tox Id on both the instances.
But I need different tox Ids. I still need to look at testbot.py and how it works.

I am facing problem while running tesbot.py , I think I need to run PyTox before I start testbot.py. I am facing problem in running PyTox ,because docker is not supported on my 32 bit system.

You can build pytox from source without docker. Let me know if you run into problems trying to build it.

How do I build it?, It seems Makefile dependent on docker ,here is what it got .
root@prasad-laptop:py-toxcore-c-master# make run
docker stop pytox
make: docker: Command not found
make: [kill] Error 127 (ignored)
docker rm pytox
make: docker: Command not found
make: [kill] Error 127 (ignored)
docker build -t pytox_image .
make: docker: Command not found
make: *** [build] Error 127

please guide me,if I am missing something!!!
I tried to issues gcc on pytox sources, I get compile errors which may need to be sorted out.

[iphydf]

Run: python setup.py install

If that works, feel free to send a pull request to update the docs to mention this as an alternative.

[tox-user]

If I remember correctly I was able to build pytox with:

python setup.py build

Then you can go to build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7 then copy pytox.so and paste it into testbot's directory.

I just added a new -e parameter to testbot that allows you to specify your Tox ID that bots will add. Example:

testbot.py -b 10 -e YOUR_TOX_ID_HERE

[blprasad]

It's not working for me,it's throwing headers missing error .I am thinking alternative.
I tried to compile qtox, that also has dependencies to be installed.For now I am getting some tox IDs by installing tox on my mobile devices.Closing it for now please keep suggesting.🙂
