Function substrate_cli_test_utils::start_node_inline

pub fn start_node_inline(args: Vec<&str>) -> Result<(), Error>

Similar to crate::start_node spawns a node, but works in environments where the substrate binary is not accessible with cargo_bin("substrate-node"), and allows customising the args passed in.

Helpful if you need a Substrate dev node running in the background of a project external to substrate.

The downside compared to using crate::start_node is that this method is blocking rather than returning a Child. Therefore, you may want to call this method inside a new thread.

Example

// Spawn a dev node.
let _ = std::thread::spawn(move || {
    match common::start_node_inline(vec!["--dev", "--rpc-port=12345"]) {
        Ok(_) => {}
        Err(e) => {
            panic!("Node exited with error: {}", e);
        }
    }
});
