This guide explains how Bisq API beta testers can quickly get a test harness running, watch a regtest trade simulation, and use the CLI to execute trades between Bob and Alice.
Knowledge of Git, Java, and installing bitcoin-core is required.
Hardware: A reasonably fast development machine is recommended, with at least 16 Gb RAM and 8 cores. None of the headless apps use a lot of RAM, but build times can be long on machines with less RAM and fewer cores. In addition, a slow machine may run into race conditions if asynchronous wallet changes are not persisted to disk fast enough. Test harness startup and shutdown times may also not happen fast enough, and require test harness option adjustments to compensate.
OS: Linux or Mac OSX
Shell: Bash
Java SDK: Version 11 - 16 (src and class generation version 11)
Bitcoin-Core: Version 0.19 - 23
Git Client
Beta testing can be done with no knowledge of how git works, but you need a git client to get the source code.
Clone the Bisq master branch into a project folder of your choice. In this document, the root project folder is
called api-beta-test.
$ git clone https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq.git api-beta-test
Change your current working directory to api-beta-test, build the source, and download / install Bisq’s
pre-configured DAO / dev / regtest setup files.
$ cd api-beta-test
$ ./gradlew clean build :apitest:installDaoSetup -x test # if you want to skip Bisq tests
$ ./gradlew clean build :apitest:installDaoSetup # if you want to run Bisq tests
Warning: Never run an API daemon and the Bisq GUI on the same host at the same time.
The API daemon and the GUI share the same default wallet and connection ports. Beyond inevitable failures due to fighting over the wallet and ports, doing so will probably corrupt your wallet. Before starting the API daemon, make sure your GUI is shut down, and vice-versa. Please back up your mainnet wallet early and often with the GUI.
If your bitcoin-core binaries are in your system PATH, start bitcoind in regtest-mode, Bisq seednode and arbitration
node daemons, plus Bob & Alice daemons in a bash terminal with the following bash command:
$ ./bisq-apitest --apiPassword=xyz \
--supportingApps=bitcoind,seednode,arbdaemon,alicedaemon,bobdaemon \
--shutdownAfterTests=false
If your bitcoin-core binaries are not in your system PATH, you can specify the bitcoin-core bin directory with the
-–bitcoinPath=<path> option:
$ ./bisq-apitest --apiPassword=xyz \
--supportingApps=bitcoind,seednode,arbdaemon,alicedaemon,bobdaemon \
--shutdownAfterTests=false \
--bitcoinPath=<bitcoin-core-home>/bin
If your bitcoin-core binaries are not statically linked to your BerkleyDB library, you can specify the path to it
with the –-berkeleyDbLibPath=<path> option:
$ ./bisq-apitest --apiPassword=xyz \
--supportingApps=bitcoind,seednode,arbdaemon,alicedaemon,bobdaemon \
--shutdownAfterTests=false \
--bitcoinPath=<bitcoin-core-home>/bin \
--berkeleyDbLibPath=<lib-berkleydb-path>
Alternatively, you can specify any or all of these bisq-apitest options in a properties file located in
apitest/src/main/resources/apitest.properties.
In this example, a beta tester uses the apitest.properties below, instead of bisq-cli options.
supportingApps=bitcoind,seednode,arbdaemon,alicedaemon,bobdaemon
apiPassword=xyz
shutdownAfterTests=false
bitcoinPath=/home/beta-tester/path-to-my-bitcoin-core/bin
Start up the test harness with without command options:
$ ./bisq-apitest
If you edit apitest.properties, do not forget to re-build the source. You do not need to do a full clean and
build, or run tests. The following build command should finish quickly.
$ ./gradlew build :apitest:installDaoSetup -x test
You should see the test harness startup bitcoin-core and other Bisq daemons in your console, run a
bitcoin-cli getwalletinfo command, and generate a regtest btc block.
After the test harness tells you how to shut it down by entering ^C, the test harness is ready to use.
Warning: again, it is assumed the beta tester has a reasonably fast machine, or the scripted wait times -- for the other side to perform his step in the protocol, and for btc block generation and asynchronous processing of new btc blocks by test daemons -- may not be long enough.
Same as described at the top of this document, but your bitcoin-core’s bitcoin-cli binary must be in the system
PATH. (The script generates regtest blocks with it.)
The regtest trade simulation script apitest/scripts/trade-simulation.sh is a useful introduction to the Bisq API.
The bash script’s output is intended to serve as a tutorial, showing how the CLI can be used to create payment
accounts for Bob and Alice, create an offer, take the offer, and complete a trade.
(The bash script itself is not intended to be as useful as the output.) The output is generated too quickly to
follow in real time, so let the script complete before studying the output from start to finish.
The script takes four options:
-d=<direction> The trade direciton, BUY or SELL.
-c=<country> The two letter country code, US, FR, AT, RU, etc.
-f=<fixed-price> The offer’s fixed price.
OR (-f and -m options mutually exclusive, use one or the other)
-m=<margin-from-price> The offer’s margin (%) from market price.
-a=<btc-amount> The amount of btc to buy or sell.
This simulation creates US / USD face-to-face payment accounts for Bob and Alice. Alice (always the trade maker) creates a SELL / USD offer for the amount of 0.1 BTC, at a price 2% below the current market price. Bob (always the taker), will use his face-to-face account to take the offer, then the two sides will complete the trade, checking their trade status along the way, and their BSQ / BTC balances when the trade is closed.
$ apitest/scripts/trade-simulation.sh -d sell -c us -m 2.00 -a 0.1
In the next example, Bob and Alice create Austrian face-to-face payment accounts. Alice creates a BUY/ EUR offer to buy 0.125 BTC at a fixed price of 30,800 EUR.
$ apitest/scripts/trade-simulation.sh -d buy -c at -f 30800 -a 0.125
The test harness used by the simulation script described in the previous section can also be used for manual CLI testing, and you can leave it running as you try the commands described below.
The API’s default server listening port is 9998, and you do not need to specify a –port=<port> option in a
CLI command unless you change the server’s –apiPort=<listening-port>. In the test harness, Alice’s API port is
9998, Bob’s is 9999. When you manually test the API using the test harness, be aware of the port numbers being
used in the CLI commands, so you know which server (Bob’s or Alice’s) the CLI is sending requests to.
Useful information can be found using the CLI’s --help option.
For list of supported CLI commands:
$ ./bisq-cli --help (the –password option is not needed because there is no server request)
For help with a specific CLI command:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --help getbalance
OR
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz getbalance --help
The position of --help option does not matter. If a supported positional command option is present,
method help will be returned from the server. Also note an api password is required to get help from the server.
There is no need to secure your regtest Bisq wallet with an encryption password when running these examples, but you should encrypt your mainnet wallet as you probably already do when using the Bisq UI to transact in real BTC. This section explains how to encrypt your Bisq wallet with the CLI, and unlock it before performing wallet related operations such as creating and taking offers, checking balances, and sending BSQ and BTC to external wallets.
Encrypt your wallet with a password:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz setwalletpassword --wallet-password=<wallet-password>
Set a new password on your already encrypted wallet:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz setwalletpassword --wallet-password=<wallet-password> \
--new-wallet-password=<new-wallet-password>
Unlock your password encrypted wallet for N seconds before performing sensitive wallet operations:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz unlockwallet --wallet-password=<wallet-password> --timeout=<seconds>
You can override a timeout before it expires by calling unlockwallet again.
Lock your wallet before the unlockwallet timeout expires:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz lockwallet
Show full BSQ and BTC wallet balance information:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getbalance
Show full BSQ wallet balance information:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9999 getbalance --currency-code=bsq
Note: The example above is asking for Bob’s balance (using port 9999), not Alice’s balance.
Show Bob’s full BTC wallet balance information:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9999 getbalance --currency-code=btc
To receive BTC from an external wallet, find an unused BTC address (with a zero balance) to receive the BTC.
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getfundingaddresses
You can check a block explorer for the status of a transaction, or you can check your Bisq BTC wallet address directly:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getaddressbalance --address=<btc-address>
To receive BSQ from an external wallet, find an unused BSQ address:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getunusedbsqaddress
Give the public address to the sender. After the BSQ is sent, you can check block explorers for the status of the transaction. There is no support (yet) to check the balance of an individual BSQ address in your wallet, but you can check your BSQ wallet’s balance to determine if the new funds have arrived:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9999 getbalance --currency-code=bsq
Below are commands for sending BSQ and BTC to external wallets.
Send BSQ:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 sendbsq --address=<bsq-address> --amount=<bsq-amount>
Note: Sending BSQ to non-Bisq wallets is not supported and highly discouraged.
Send BSQ with a withdrawal transaction fee of 10 sats/byte:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 sendbsq --address=<bsq-address> --amount=<bsq-amount> --tx-fee-rate=10
Send BTC:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 sendbtc --address=<btc-address> --amount=<btc-amount>
Send BTC with a withdrawal transaction fee of 20 sats/byte:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 sendbtc --address=<btc-address> --amount=<btc-amount> --tx-fee-rate=20
If you have traded using the Bisq UI, you are probably aware of the default network bitcoin withdrawal transaction
fee and custom withdrawal transaction fee user preference in the UI’s setting view. The API uses these same
withdrawal transaction fee rates, and affords a third – as mentioned in the previous section -- withdrawal
transaction fee option in the sendbsq and sendbtc commands. The sendbsq and sendbtc commands'
--tx-fee-rate=<sats/byte> options override both the default network fee rate, and your custom transaction fee
setting for the execution of those commands.
If you have not set your custom withdrawal transaction fee setting, the default network transaction fee will be used when withdrawing funds. In either case, you can check the current (default or custom) withdrawal transaction fee rate:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz gettxfeerate
To set a custom withdrawal transaction fee rate preference of 50 sats/byte:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz settxfeerate --tx-fee-rate=50
To remove a custom withdrawal transaction fee rate preference, and revert to the network fee rate:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz unsettxfeerate
Creating a fiat payment account using the API involves three steps:
-
Find the payment-method-id for the payment account type you wish to create. For example, if you want to create a face-to-face type payment account, find the face-to-face payment-method-id (
F2F):$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getpaymentmethods -
Use the payment-method-id
F2Ffound in thegetpaymentmethodscommand output to create a blank payment account form:$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getpaymentacctform --payment-method-id=F2FThis
getpaymentacctformcommand generates a json file (form) for creating anF2Fpayment account, prints the file’s contents, and tells you where it is. In this example, the sever created anF2Faccount form namedf2f_1612381824625.json. -
Manually edit the json file, and use its path in the
createpaymentacctcommand.$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createpaymentacct \ --payment-account-form=f2f_1612381824625.jsonNote: You can rename the file before passing it to the
createpaymentacctcommand.The server will create and save the new payment account from details defined in the json file then return the new payment account to the CLI. The CLI will display the account ID with other details in the console, but if you ever need to find a payment account ID, use the
getpaymentacctscommand:$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getpaymentaccts
Unlike more complex fiat payment account setups, the createcryptopaymentacct command does not require a json form.
A default BSQ Swap Altcoin payment account was created for you when the BSQ Swap protocol was introduced, and you do not need to create BSQ Altcoin payment accounts to execute BSQ Swaps. But if you do want to trade BSQ using the version 1 trade protocol, you will need to create a BSQ Altcoin payment accounts as show below.
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createcryptopaymentacct --account-name="My BSQ Account" \
--currency-code=BSQ \
--address=Bn3PCQgRwhkrGnaMp1RYwt9tFwL51YELqne \
--trade-instant=false
To create a BSQ Altcoin Instant payment account, use the --trade-instant=true parameter:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createcryptopaymentacct --account-name="My Instant BSQ Account" \
--currency-code=BSQ \
--address=Bn3PCQgRwhkrGnaMp1RYwt9tFwL51YELqne \
--trade-instant=true
Note: Use your own BSQ recipient address, not the Bn3PCQgRwhkrGnaMp1RYwt9tFwL51YELqne address used in the
example above.
To create an XMR Altcoin payment account associated with example XMR address
44G4jWmSvTEfifSUZzTDnJVLPvYATmq9XhhtDqUof1BGCLceG82EQsVYG9Q9GN4bJcjbAJEc1JD1m5G7iK4UPZqACubV4Mq:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9999 createcryptopaymentacct --account-name=XMR-Account \
--currency-code=XMR
--address=44G4jWmSvTEfifSUZzTDnJVLPvYATmq9XhhtDqUof1BGCLceG82EQsVYG9Q9GN4bJcjbAJEc1JD1m5G7iK4UPZqACubV4Mq
The createoffer command is the API's most complex command (so far), but CLI posix-style options are self-explanatory,
and CLI createoffer command help gives you specific information about each option.
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createoffer --help
The trade-simulation.sh script described above is an easy way to figure out how to use this command.
In a previous example, Alice created a BUY/ EUR offer to buy 0.125 BTC at a fixed price of 30,800 EUR,
and pay the Bisq maker fee in BSQ. Alice had already created an EUR face-to-face payment account with id
f3c1ec8b-9761-458d-b13d-9039c6892413, and used this createoffer command:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createoffer \
--payment-account-id=f3c1ec8b-9761-458d-b13d-9039c6892413 \
--direction=BUY \
--currency-code=EUR \
--amount=0.125 \
--fixed-price=30800 \
--security-deposit=15.0 \
--fee-currency=BSQ
If Alice was in Japan, and wanted to create an offer to sell 0.125 BTC at 0.5% above the current market JPY price,
putting up a 15% security deposit, the createoffer command to do that would be:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createoffer \
--payment-account-id=f3c1ec8b-9761-458d-b13d-9039c6892413 \
--direction=SELL \
--currency-code=JPY \
--amount=0.125 \
--market-price-margin=0.5 \
--security-deposit=15.0 \
--fee-currency=BSQ
The trade-simulation.sh script options that would generate the previous createoffer example is:
$ apitest/scripts/trade-simulation.sh -d sell -c jp -m 0.5 -a 0.125
The createoffer command can also be used to create BSQ swap offers, where trade execution is performed immediately
after a BSQ swap offer is taken. To swap 0.5 BTC for BSQ at a price of 0.00005 BTC for 1 BSQ:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createoffer \
--swap=true \
--direction=BUY \
--amount=0.5 \
--currency-code=BSQ \
--fixed-price=0.00005
The bsqswap-simulation.sh script options that would generate the previous createoffer example is:
$ apitest/scripts/bsqswap-simulation.sh -d buy -a 0.5 -f 0.00005
There are different commands to browse available offers you can take, and offers you created.
To see all offers you created with a specific direction (BUY|SELL) and currency (CAD|EUR|USD|...):
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getmyoffers --direction=<BUY|SELL> --currency-code=<currency-code>
To look at a specific offer you created:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getoffer --offer-id=<offer-id>
To see all available offers you can take, with a specific direction (BUY|SELL) and currency (CAD|EUR|USD|...):
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getoffers --direction=<BUY|SELL> --currency-code=<currency-code>
To look at a specific, available offer you could take:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getoffer --offer-id=<offer-id>
To cancel one of your offers:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 canceloffer --offer-id=<offer-id>
The offer will be removed from other Bisq users' offer views, and paid transaction fees will be forfeited.
Offers you create can be edited in various ways:
- Disable or re-enable an offer.
- Change an offer's price model and disable (or re-enable) it.
- Change a market price margin based offer to a fixed price offer.
- Change a market price margin based offer's price margin.
- Change, set, or remove a trigger price on a market price margin based offer.
- Change a market price margin based offer's price margin and trigger price.
- Change a market price margin based offer's price margin and remove its trigger price.
- Change a fixed price offer to a market price margin based offer.
- Change a fixed price offer's fixed price.
Note: the API does not support editing an offer's payment account.
The subsections below contain examples related to specific use cases.
Existing offers you create can be disabled (removed from offer book) and re-enabled (re-published to offer book).
To disable an offer:
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--enable=false
To enable an offer:
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--enable=true
The editoffer command can be used to change an existing market price margin based offer to a fixed price offer,
and vice-versa.
Suppose you used createoffer to create a market price margin based offer as follows:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createoffer \
--payment-account-id=f3c1ec8b-9761-458d-b13d-9039c6892413 \
--direction=SELL \
--currency-code=JPY \
--amount=0.125 \
--market-price-margin=0.5 \
--security-deposit=15.0 \
--fee-currency=BSQ
To change the market price margin based offer to a fixed price offer:
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--fixed-price=3960000.5555
Suppose you used createoffer to create a fixed price offer as follows:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 createoffer \
--payment-account-id=f3c1ec8b-9761-458d-b13d-9039c6892413 \
--direction=SELL \
--currency-code=JPY \
--amount=0.125 \
--fixed-price=3960000.0000 \
--security-deposit=15.0 \
--fee-currency=BSQ
To change the fixed price offer to a market price margin based offer:
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--market-price-margin=0.5
Alternatively, you can also set a trigger price on the re-published, market price margin based offer.
A trigger price on a SELL offer causes the offer to be automatically disabled when the market price
falls below the trigger price. In the editoffer example below, the SELL offer will be disabled when
the JPY market price falls below 3960000.0000.
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--market-price-margin=0.5 \
--trigger-price=3960000.0000
On a BUY offer, a trigger price causes the BUY offer to be automatically disabled when the market price rises above the trigger price.
Note: Disabled offers never automatically re-enable; they can only be manually re-enabled via
editoffer --offer-id=<id> --enable=true.
To remove a trigger price on a market price margin based offer, set the trigger price to 0:
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--trigger-price=0
You can use editoffer to simultaneously change an offer's price details and disable or re-enable it.
Suppose you have a disabled, fixed price offer, and want to change it to a market price margin based offer, set a trigger price, and re-enable it:
./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 editoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--market-price-margin=0.5 \
--trigger-price=3960000.0000 \
--enable=true
Taking an available offer involves two CLI commands: getoffers and takeoffer.
A CLI user browses available offers with the getoffers command. For example, the user browses SELL / EUR offers:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 getoffers --direction=SELL --currency-code=EUR
Then takes one of the available offers with an EUR payment account ( id fe20cdbd-22be-4b8a-a4b6-d2608ff09d6e)
with the takeoffer command:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 takeoffer \
--offer-id=83e8b2e2-51b6-4f39-a748-3ebd29c22aea \
--payment-account-id=fe20cdbd-22be-4b8a-a4b6-d2608ff09d6e \
--amount=0.125
--fee-currency=btc
Depending on the offer type, the taken offer will be used to (1) create a trade contract, or (2) execute a BSQ swap.
The value passed with the optional --amount parameter must be between the offer's min-amount and amount values.
If the --amount parameter is omitted, the intended trade amount will equal the taken offer's amount.
The next section describes how to use the API to execute a trade. The following Completing a BSQ Swap Trade
section explains how to use the takeoffer command to complete a BSQ swap.
The first step in the Bisq trade protocol is completed when a takeoffer command successfully creates a new trade from
the taken offer. After the Bisq nodes prepare the trade, its status can be viewed with the gettrade command:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 gettrade --trade-id=<trade-id>
The trade-id is the same as the taken offer-id, but when viewing and interacting with trades, it is referred to as
the trade-id. Note that the trade-id argument is a full offer-id, not a truncated short-id as displayed in the
Bisq UI.
You can also view the entire trade contract in json format by using the gettrade command's --show-contract=true
option:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 gettrade --trade-id=<trade-id> --show-contract=true
The gettrade command’s output shows the state of the trade from initial preparation through completion and closure.
Output columns include:
Deposit Published YES if the taker fee tx deposit has been broadcast to the network.
Deposit Confirmed YES if the taker fee tx deposit has been confirmed by the network.
Fiat Sent YES if the buyer has sent a “payment started” message to seller.
Fiat Received YES if the seller has sent a “payment received” message to buyer.
Payout Published YES if the seller’s BTC payout tx has been broadcast to the network.
Withdrawn YES if the buyer’s BTC proceeds have been sent to an external wallet.
Trade status information informs both sides of a trade which steps have been completed, and which step to perform next. It should be frequently checked by both sides before proceeding to the next step of the protocol.
Note: There is some delay after a new trade is created due to the time it takes for a taker’s trade deposit fee
transaction to be published and confirmed on the bitcoin network. Both sides of the trade can check the gettrade
output's Deposit Published and Deposit Confirmed columns to find out when this early phase of the trade protocol is
complete.
Once the taker fee transaction has been confirmed, payment can be sent, payment receipt confirmed, and the trade protocol completed. There are three CLI commands that must be performed in coordinated order by each side of the trade:
confirmpaymentstarted Buyer sends seller a message confirming payment has been sent.
confirmpaymentreceived Seller sends buyer a message confirming payment has been received.
closetrade Set trade state to CLOSED, and keep trade proceeds in user's Bisq wallet.
OR
withdrawfunds Set trade state to CLOSED, and send trade proceeds to an external wallet.
The last two mutually exclusive commands (closetrade or withdrawfunds) may seem unnecessary, but they are critical
because they tell the Bisq node to set a completed trade’s state CLOSED. Please close out your trades with one
or the other command.
Each of the CLI commands above takes one argument: --trade-id=<trade-id>:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 confirmpaymentstarted --trade-id=<trade-id>
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9999 confirmpaymentreceived --trade-id=<trade-id>
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 closetrade --trade-id=<trade-id>
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9999 withdrawfunds --trade-id=<trade-id> --address=<btc-address> [--memo=<"memo">]
The takeoffer command will immediately perform the BSQ swap, assuming both sides' wallets have sufficient BTC and
BSQ to cover the trade amount, and maker or taker fee. It takes one argument: --offer-id=<offer-id>:
$ ./bisq-cli --password=xyz --port=9998 takeoffer --offer-id=Xge8b2e2-51b6-3TOOB-z748-3ebd29c2kj99
The test harness should cleanly shut down all the background apps in proper order after entering ^C.
Once shutdown, all Bisq and bitcoin-core data files are left in the state they were in at shutdown time,
so they and logs can be examined after a test run. All datafiles will be refreshed the next time the test harness
is started, so if you want to save datafiles and logs from a test run, copy them to a safe place first.
They can be found in apitest/build/resources/main.
