Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.
This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in
version (x+1).
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.
Because the poll/select loop may pause for 100msec before actually doing a
send, and we have no way to force the loop awake, try sending from the calling
thread if the queue is empty.
Also, disable nagle as all sends should be either full messages or unfinished
sends.
This shaves an average of ~1 minute or so off of my accumulated runtime, and
10-15 seconds off of actual runtime.
* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
potentially addressing some performance edge cases.
Nodes don't consider themselves out of "initial block download" until
their active chain has more work than nMinimumChainWork.
While in initial block download, nodes won't relay blocks to their
peers, so test that this parameter functions as intended by verifying
that block relay only succeeds past a given node once its
nMinimumChainWork has been exceeded.
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.
Fixes a couple of bugs from the introduction of TestNode:
- test scripts were no longer able to specify a custom timeout for
starting a node. Therefore tests with nodes that take a long time to
start up (eg pruning.py) would fail.
- the test for whether a node has failed on start up was broken
by changing 'assert x is None' to 'assert not x'. Since
subprocess.poll() can return None (indicating the node is still running)
or 0 (indicating the node exited with return code 0), this was a
regression.
When running the tests locally with a parallelism of 4 on an otherwise
busy system, RPC can take quite a wait to come up.
Change the timeout to 60 seconds just to be safe.
Removes vchDefaultKey which was only used for first run detection.
Improves wallet first run detection by checking to see if any keys
were read from the database.
This will now also check for a valid defaultkey for backwards
compatibility reasons and to check for any corruption.
Keys will stil be generated on the first one, but there won't be
any shown in the address book as was previously done.
TestNode is a class responsible for all state related to a bitcoind node
under test. It stores local state, is responsible for tracking the
bitcoind process and delegates unrecognised messages to the RPC
connection.
This commit changes start_nodes and stop_nodes to start and stop the
bitcoind nodes in parallel, making test setup and teardown much faster.
This commit adds basic keypool mark-used and topup:
- try to topup the keypool on initial load
- if a key in the keypool is used, mark all keys before that as used and
try to top up
English grammar dictates that these bullet points should be capitalized.
This also makes the capitalization style consistent with the rest of the
document, e.g. the "Decision Making Process" section.
