Hey @winsvega , I'm working on adding retesteth support to Mantis ETC client. Regarding commit 145d1d3be6a20c2d641b28b7ce166cbaa0f21d8f , does this at all mean you're working towards deprecating the RPC configuration? If I understand correctly, geth isn't tested using RPC anymore, correct?

Yes, geth could not support RPC protocol.

Besu did implement the RPC. The major issue I had with besu is client unstability as the client runs non stop all the tests via RPC and it crashes.

On the other hand if I generate tests using transition tool, then all the blockchain logic is done on retesteth side thus not really able to test real blockchain logic on a client.

You are welcome to implement either of methods (rpc or transition tool) I will be happy to support.

Awesome, and thanks for your quick response! 👍
