Commit 9db8eecac1 improved the
assert_raises_jsonrpc() function for better testing of RPC failure
modes. This commit completes the job by removing remaining broken
try-except RPC testing from the individual test cases and replacing it
with calls to assert_raises_jsonrpc().
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 two RPC tests for the generatetoaddress RPC, one in the wallet, and one when the wallet is disabled.
The wallet RPC Test mines Bitcoin to another node's address and checks that that node has received the Bitcoin.
The RPC test without the wallet mines Bitcoin to an arbitrary address and checks that it works. It then mines to an arbitrary invalid address and checks that that fails.
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.
