script.py is modified from the code in python-bitcoinlib, and provides tools
for manipulating and creating CScript objects.
bignum.py is a dependency for script.py
script_test.py is an example test that uses the script tools for running a test
that compares the behavior of two nodes, in a comptool- style test, for each of
the test cases in the bitcoin unit test script files, script_valid.json and
script_invalid.json. (This test is very slow to run, but is a proof of concept
for how we can write tests to compare consensus-critical behavior between
different versions of bitcoind.)
bipdersig-p2p.py is another example test in the comptool framework, which tests
deployment of BIP DERSIG for a single node. It uses the script.py tools for
manipulating signatures to be non-DER compliant.
comptool.py creates a tool for running a test suite on top of the mininode p2p
framework. It supports two types of tests: those for which we expect certain
behavior (acceptance or rejection of a block or transaction) and those for
which we are just comparing that the behavior of 2 or more nodes is the same.
blockstore.py defines BlockStore and TxStore, which provide db-backed maps
between block/tx hashes and the corresponding block or tx.
blocktools.py defines utility functions for creating and manipulating blocks
and transactions.
invalidblockrequest.py is an example test in the comptool framework, which
tests the behavior of a single node when sent two different types of invalid
blocks (a block with a duplicated transaction and a block with a bad coinbase
value).
mininode.py provides a framework for connecting to a bitcoin node over the p2p
network. NodeConn is the main object that manages connectivity to a node and
provides callbacks; the interface for those callbacks is defined by NodeConnCB.
Defined also are all data structures from bitcoin core that pass on the network
(CBlock, CTransaction, etc), along with de-/serialization functions.
maxblocksinflight.py is an example test using this framework that tests whether
a node is limiting the maximum number of in-flight block requests.
This also adds support to util.py for specifying the binary to use when
starting nodes (for tests that compare the behavior of different bitcoind
versions), and adds maxblocksinflight.py to the pull tester.
This adds a -prune=N option to bitcoind, which if set to N>0 will enable block
file pruning. When pruning is enabled, block and undo files will be deleted to
try to keep total space used by those files to below the prune target (N, in
MB) specified by the user, subject to some constraints:
- The last 288 blocks on the main chain are always kept (MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP),
- N must be at least 550MB (chosen as a value for the target that could
reasonably be met, with some assumptions about block sizes, orphan rates,
etc; see comment in main.h),
- No blocks are pruned until chainActive is at least 100,000 blocks long (on
mainnet; defined separately for mainnet, testnet, and regtest in chainparams
as nPruneAfterHeight).
This unsets NODE_NETWORK if pruning is enabled.
Also included is an RPC test for pruning (pruning.py).
Thanks to @rdponticelli for earlier work on this feature; this is based in
part off that work.
`--nocleanup` should provide a way to preserve test data, but should not have an impact on whether nodes are to be stopped after the test execution.
In particular, when currently running RPC tests with `--nocleanup`, then it may result in several active `bitcoind` processes, which are not terminated properly.
Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.
reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.
Remove reliance on accounting "move" ledger entries. Instead,
create funding transactions (and deal with fee complexities).
Do not rely on broken SyncMetaData. Instead expect double-spend
amount to be debited from the default "" account.
Adds a regression test for the wallet's ResendWalletTransactions function, which uses a new, hidden RPC command "resendwallettransactions."
I refactored main's Broadcast signal so it is passed the best-block time, which let me remove a global variable shared between main.cpp and the wallet (nTimeBestReceived).
I also manually tested the "rebroadcast unconfirmed every half hour or so" functionality by:
1. Running bitcoind -connect=0.0.0.0:8333
2. Creating a couple of send-to-self transactions
3. Connect to a peer using -addnode
4. Waited a while, monitoring debug.log, until I see:
```2015-03-23 18:48:10 ResendWalletTransactions: rebroadcast 2 unconfirmed transactions```
One last change: don't bother putting ResendWalletTransactions messages in debug.log unless unconfirmed transactions were actually rebroadcast.
- rest block request returns full unfolded tx details
- /rest/block/notxdetails/<HASH> returns block where transactions are only represented by its hash
Immature coinbase spends are allowed in the memory pool if they can be mined in the next block.
They are not allowed in the memory pool if they cannot be mined in the next block.
This regression test tests those edge cases.
