  <s​needlewoods_xmr:matrix.org> for me locally `./unit_tests --gtest_filter="ban.subnet"` consistently fails at [this line](github.com/monero-project/monero/bl…sts/unit_tests/node_server.cpp#L266) with:

  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> I got the same
• 21:48
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> I mean, without trying to filtering it, got the same error, plus plenty more
• 21:49
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Is there a recommanded way to do the test, with some expected fail or something that need to be ignored?
• 21:49
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Alpine Linux want the test to be done in the build process if there available...

  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Is there an envvar or something to tell the it to test again a remote node? as it look like it try to connect on a local node that is... not present on Alpine CI shenanigans
• 22:14
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> what
• 22:14
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> alpine ci doesn't setup and sync a monero node in their actions ?
• 22:14
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> skill issue
• 22:15
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Yeah, it's fine. I add in my MR that the tests are borked and even if they worked it would timeout there CI thing as it seam to take forever..
• 22:15
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> So will skip the tests phase with a proper reason (which it allowed)
• 22:16
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> good job on bringing monero in alpine repo
• 22:17
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> monerod/monero-cli was already there (been maintaining it since a while... It was already skipped tests)
• 22:17
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> I added feather already last week and now that I reconfirmed the tests are no-go, monero-gui should be available in Alpine Edge by next week

  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Regtest
• 22:23
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> How do I do them? Any link for documentation or something?
• 22:23
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> I was using Ctest
• 22:24
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> regtest is like testnet or stagenet, but is "fakechain"
• 22:26
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Response was just about syncing a node - node doesnt need to be synced if monerod is running in regrest mode (--regtest)
• 22:28
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> TIL of regtest. thx ofrn
• 22:29
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> oh cool, maybe I can run a monerod in there CI thing then. Will test later. Thanks ofrn
