Test

To test a provider, we can run it in a local wasmCloud environment, interacting with a real host and real components. To set up the environment:

1. Run a local development environment with wash up
2. Build the provider with wash build
3. Using a wadm.yaml application manifest that includes the path to your provider, wash app deploy wadm.yaml to deploy your application
   1. Alternatively, start the provider with wash start provider ./path/to/provider.par.gz
   2. Start a component that interacts with the provider with wash start component, then link the two together
4. Invoke the component or provider directly to test

To see an example of this, refer to the create section for capability providers.
