Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.
Make createmultisig only accept public keys with the old functionality
marked as deprecated.
Splits _createmultisig_redeemscript into two functions, one for
getting public keys from UniValue and one for getting addresses
from UniValue and then their respective public keys. The one for
retrieving address's public keys is located in rpcwallet.cpp
Changes addwitnessaddress's output to be a JSON object with
two fields, address and redeemscript.
Adds a test to deprecated_rpc.py for testing the deprecation.
Update the tests to use addwitnessaddress or give only public keys
to createmultisig. Anything that used addwitnessaddress was also
updated to reflect the new API.
This introduces two command line flags (-addresstype and -changetype) which control
the type of addresses/outputs created by the GUI and RPCs. Certain RPCs allow
overriding these (`getnewaddress` and `getrawchangeaddress`). Supported types
are "legacy" (P2PKH and P2SH-multisig), "p2sh-segwit" (P2SH-P2WPKH and P2SH-P2WSH-multisig),
and "bech32" (P2WPKH and P2WSH-multisig).
A few utility functions are added to the wallet to construct different address type
and to add the necessary entries to the wallet file to be compatible with earlier
versions (see `CWallet::LearnRelatedScripts`, `GetDestinationForKey`,
`GetAllDestinationsForKey`, `CWallet::AddAndGetDestinationForScript`).
test_framework accepts a new --usecli parameter. Running the test with
this parameter will cause all RPCs to be sent through bitcoin-cli rather
than directly over http. By default, individual test cases do not
support --usecli, and self.supports_cli must be set to True in the
set_test_params method.
We can make supports_cli default to True in future once we know which
tests will fail with use_cli.
Change TestNodeCLI.__call__() to return a new instance instead of modifying the
existing instance. This way, it's possible to create different cli objects that
have their own options (for example -rpcwallet options to connect to different
wallets), and options set for a single call (`node.cli(options).method(args)`)
will no longer leak into future calls.
node_network_limited had a race condition, since wait_for_block()
doesn't do what you might expect. It only checks the most recent block
received over the P2P interface (perhaps we should rename the method
wait_for_most_recent_block() to avoid future confusion). The test can
fail if the node sends us invs for other blocks, we respond with a
getdata, and the node sends us one of those blocks in the 0.05 second
wait_until loop window.
Fix this by not responding to inv messages with getdata messages.
assumevalid.py, example_test.py and p2p-acceptblocks.py add
p2p_connections after the NetworkThread has been started. This isn't
permitted. Fix test to restart the network thread when adding new
connections.
p2p-leaktest.py had a potential race condition if the NetworkThread
hadn't terminated by the time we tried to restart it.
Add network thread_start(), network_thread_running() and
network_thread_join() utility functions in mininode.py and use
network_thread_running() in network thread assertions.
