Using the real CMC is really not fun

This is how we bootstrap CMC in Orbit.

For tests this isn’t as generally easy as a primitive mainly because of the cycle ledger setup in pic

I completely understand this, and it is possibly something that we could consider integrating directly into PicJS, but I can’t promise it any time soon.

I wasn’t able to get this to work, but here are the approaches that I’ve tried:

Hopefully the suggestions from Severin and Martin can help.

@icme

So I don’t follow how setupCanister() would fail with a low cycles error, but calling the provisional_create_canister_with_cycles directly successfully creates the canister with the intended cycle balance?

Just to add a bit more to Martin’s response to this, setupCanister() does three things:

• createCanister()
• installCode()
• createActor()

It’s the second step that is failing due to the low cycle balance.
