Additional Information

Removed bug label- there is not a bug with Brave. This extra functionality for testing is broken after recent changes to the ledger. I believe with the reworking, ledger-synopsis.json was removed entirely

The script is actually useful to test the ledger table (such as displaying Show Less button for example), so it would be appreciated if it is fixed soon.

checked on master and works nicely.

Re-opening as this doesn't seem to be working... @bsclifton also confirmed that it wasn't working for him.. STR:

• checkout any of the branches
• ensure that you've removed the node_modules folder
• npm install && npm run watch
• run brave via npm start and enable the wallet via about:preferences#payments
• close brave once the wallet has been created
• npm run add-simulated-synopsis-visits 100 within the browser-laptop
• re-launch brave via npm start and you'll notice that the ledger table hasn't been filled under about:preferences#payments

Checked both macOS 10.13.1 x64 & Ubuntu 17.10 x64:

• master branch: FAILED (didn't populate the table)
• 0.21.x branch: FAILED (didn't populate the table)
• 0.20.x branch: FAILED (didn't populate the table)
• 0.19.x branch: FAILED (didn't populate the table)

@luixxiul when you ran this on Debian, did the ledger table get populated? Maybe we're doing something incorrectly?

this was broken with the latest bat libraries
