fundrawtransaction allows users to add a change output and then
not have it removed from keypool. While it would be nice to have
users follow the normal CreateTransaction/CommitTransaction process
we use internally, there isnt much benefit in exposing this option,
especially with HD wallets, while there is ample room for users to
misunderstand or misuse this option.
This could be particularly nasty in some use-cases (especially
pre-HD-split) - eg a user might fundrawtransaction, then call
getnewaddress, hand out the address for someone to pay them, then
sendrawtransaction. This may result in the user thinking they have
received payment, even though it was really just their own change!
This could obviously result in needless key-reuse.
zapwallettxes previously did not interact well with persistent mempool.
zapwallettxes would cause wallet transactions to be zapped, but they
would then be reloaded from the mempool on startup. This commit softsets
persistmempool to false if zapwallettxes is enabled so transactions are
actually zapped.
Rewrite the BIP66 functional tests to reflect height-based activation,
and move it out of the extended test suite.
Remove the unnecessary bipdersig.py test
After 122786d0e0, BIP65 activates at
a particular height (without regard to version numbers of blocks
below that height). Rewrite the BIP65 functional tests to take
this into account, and add a test case that exercises
OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY in a block where the soft-fork is active.
Also moves the bip65 functional test out of the extended test suite.
This commit moves functions start_node, start_nodes, stop_node and
stop_nodes functions into the BitcoinTestFramework class. It also moves
the bitcoind_processes dict and coverage variables into BitcoinTestFramework.
Adds new functional test, dbcrash.py, which uses -dbcrashratio to exercise the
logic for recovering from a crash during chainstate flush.
dbcrash.py is added to the extended tests, as it may take ~10 minutes to run
Use _Exit() instead of exit() for crash simulation
This eliminates stderr output such as:
terminate called without an active exception
or
Assertion failed: (!pthread_mutex_destroy(&m)), function ~recursive_mutex, file /usr/local/include/boost/thread/pthread/recursive_mutex.hpp, line 104.
Eliminating the stderr output on crash simulation allows testing with
test_runner.py, which reports a test as failed if stderr is produced.
A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
This has no effect on the outcome of test cases, but
prints shorter and less confusing tracebacks on fails.
I.e. does not print an obvious "ConnectionRefusedError"
when shutting down the nodes due to an invalid return code.
Better to check that rpcuser and rpcpassword exist then to check for
the cookie in the test framework.
Name an argument for consistency in p2p-segwit.py
We can call gettxoutproof() with a list of transactions. Currently, if
the first transaction is unspent (and all other transactions are in the
same block), then the call will succeed. If the first transaction has
been spent, then the call will fail. The means that the following two
calls will return different results:
gettxoutproof(unspent_tx1, spent_tx1)
gettxoutproof(spent_tx1, unspent_tx1)
This commit makes behaviour independent of transaction ordering by looping
through all transactions provided and trying to find which block they're in.
This commit also increases the test coverage and tests more failure
cases for gettxoutproof()
bctest.py is only used as an import by bitcoin-util-test.py. There's no
value in keeping it as a separate module, so let's merge them into a
single module to keep building and packaging simpler.
bitcoin-test-util is importable as a module, so if any future modules
really want to import the code from bctest.py, they can import
bitcoin-test-util and call the bctest functions by name.
