It would be sweet to be able to use the ipfs bin install in the host, so that we can select any IPFS version, even those who weren't released yet, to be tested with js-ipfs-api tests, as an example :)

Isn't this already possible with IPFS_EXEC=/path/to/other/ipfs/bin ?

If not, let's definitely get this in. If yes, is IPFS_EXEC not the solution needed here?

@haadcode yes, definitely possible today with IPFS_EXEC, see here:

js-ipfsd-ctl/src/node.js

Line 63 in 5de559d

this.exec = process.env.IPFS_EXEC || ipfsDefaultPath

If you need want to use an existing ipfs installation you can set $IPFS_EXEC=/path/to/ipfs to ensure it uses that.

This is in the current readme
