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.
This makes NodeConnCB a subclass of NodeConn, and
removes the need for the client code to know
anything about the implementation details of NodeConnCB.
NodeConn can now be swapped out for any other implementation
of a low-level connection without changing client code.
assumevalid.py would try to send over a closed P2P connection in a loop,
hitting the following failure many times:
TestFramework.mininode (ERROR): Cannot send message. No connection to node!
The test still passes, but this is a lot of noise in the test log.
Just check that the connection is open before trying to send.
Almost all test scripts currently need to override the __init__()
method. When they do that they need to call into super().__init__() as
the base class does some generic initialization.
This commit makes the base class __init__() call into set_test_params()
method. Individual test cases can override set_test_params() to setup
their test parameters.
Separates the act of creating a TestNode object from starting the node.
The test_framework now keeps track of its list of TestNodes, and test
writers can call start_node() and stop_node() without having to update
the self.nodes list.
sync_with_ping currently returns false if the timeout expires, and it is
the caller's responsibility to fail the test. However, none of the tests
currently assert on sync_with_ping()'s return code. This commit adds an
assert to sync_with_ping so the test will fail if the timeout expires.
This commit also removes all the duplicate implementations of
sync_with_ping() from the individual tests.
This commit merges the NodeConnCB and SingleNodeConnCB into a single
class (called NodeConnCB). The original intent for the NodeConnCB was to
be able to have a python 'mininode' connect to multiple running
bitcoinds. This has never been used and can be achieved more easily by
having multiple NodeConns backed by a common datastore if it is ever
needed.
The changes in mininode.py are just code moves (and merging the two
classes into a single class). The code changes in the individual test
cases are changing the subclasses to subclass from NodeConnCB instead of
SingleNodeConnCB. There is a lot of duplicate code in the subclasses
that can be removed in future commits.
assumevalid was merged as part of PR 9484, but was not added to the
test_runner, so is not run even as part of the extended tests.
This commit adds assumevalid to the list of tests in test_runner. It
also clarifies the code in assumevalid considerably.
This commit fixes the module-level docstrings for the tests and helper
modules in qa. Many of these tests were uncommented previously - this
commit ensures that every test case has at least a minimum level of
commenting.
Adds a qa testcase testing the new "-assumevalid" option. The testcase builds
a chain that includes and invalid signature for one of the transactions and
sends that chain to three nodes:
- node0 has no -assumevalid parameter and rejects the invalid chain.
- node1 has -assumevalid set and accepts the invalid chain.
- node2 has -assumevalid set but the invalid block is not buried deep
enough to assume invalid, and so rejects the invalid chain.
