1. Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
2. Install [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (tested with 3.10 and 3.12 and it works with both)
3. **Set up a virtual environment (required for linting):**
- In `./tests-functional`, run:
```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pre-commit install
```
- **Important**: The virtual environment must be created in the `./tests-functional` directory for pre-commit linting and type-checking tools like Pyright to work correctly.
- **Optional (for test development)**: Use Python virtual environment for better dependency management. You can follow the guide [here](https://akrabat.com/creating-virtual-environments-with-pyenv/)
- In `./tests-functional` run `docker compose -f docker-compose.anvil.yml -f docker-compose.test.status-go.yml -f docker-compose.status-go.local.yml up --build --remove-orphans`, as result:
* a container with [status-backend](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/5847) will be created with endpoint exposed on `0.0.0.0:3333`
- `verify_is_valid_json_rpc_response()` checks for status code 200, non-empty response, JSON-RPC structure, presence of the `result` field, and expected ID.
- `jsonschema.validate()` is used to check that the response contains expected data, including required fields and types. Schemas are stored in `/schemas/wallet_MethodName`
- New schemas can be generated using `./tests-functional/utils/schema_builder.py` by passing a response to the `CustomSchemaBuilder(schema_name).create_schema(response.json())` method, should be used only on test creation phase, please search `how to create schema:` to see an example in a test
