This tests that after two nodes diverge and reconnect, the shorter
node downloads blocks starting from the fork point rather than its
current height. It verifies the reorg completes, both nodes
converge, and the orphaned fork appears as a side chain via
getchaintips.
This commit introduces the concept of `AlwaysActiveHeight` to the
deployment mechanism, allowing a deployment to be forced into the active
state if the next block's height meets or exceeds this threshold.
This is intended primarily to be used alongside the new Testnet4
deployment, as the past major soft forks are meant to be active from the
very first block height.
This commit adds a new NextAvailablePortForProcess function that takes a
process ID and then assures unique (non-occupied) port numbers are
returned per process.
This uses a temporary file that contains the latest used port and a
secondary temporary lock file to assure only a single goroutine can
request a new port at a time.
The GenerateProcessUniqueListenerAddresses is intened to be used as a
package-level override for the ListenAddressGenerator variable. We don't
use it by default to make sure we don't break any existing assumptions.
rpcclient now support calling the getchaintips rpc call.
getchaintips_test.go adds test for the getchaintips rpc call. The test
includes hard-coded blocks which the test will feed the node via rpc and
it'll check that the returned chain tips from the getchaintips call
are chaintips that we expect to be returned.
The doc formatting changes introduced in the recent go version is
increasing the diff for all of the new commits. Formatting it all in
this commit will help the readability of future PRs by reducing the
diff.
In this commit, we extend the existing version bits state machine to add
support for the new minimum activation height and custom block threshold
for activation. We then extend the existing BIP 9 tests (tho this isn't
really BIP 9 anymore...) to exercise the new min activation height
logic.
In this commit, we update all the btcutil imports to point to the new
sub-module.
In the same commit, we also modify the recently added `btcutil/go.mod`
file as we need to continue pointing to the _old_ version of btcd, until
we merge this PR and push a new tag.
To allow using a custom btcd executable, we allow specifying a path to a
file. If the path is empty, the harness will fall back to compiling one
from scratch.
With the use of go modules, the btcdPkgPath will no longer be `github.com/btcsuite/btcd`, but end with a version string (e.g. btcd@v0.0.0-20181129140220-beb77e89572a).
This trips up build.ImportDir, which will return a ImportPath of ".", since this package cannot be found in the go path.
There are probably several ways of fixing this, by clever string magic, but seems easiest to just hardcode the btcd package name.
Previously, rpctest would start a btcd node using the btcd executable
in the environment PATH. This caused difficult-to-find issues where
the code would be tested against an older version of btcd, or another
fork entirely. Now it compiles btcd the first time it is needed and
uses that fresh version when launching nodes.
This commit adds set of BIP0009 (Version Bits) deployment parameters
for all networks detailing the activation parameters for the segwit
soft-fork.
Additionally, the BIP0009 integration test has been updated to test for
the proper transitioning of version bits state for the segwit soft
fork. Finally, the `getblockchaininfo` test has also been updated to
properly display the state of segwit.
The github markdown interpreter has been changed such that it no longer
allows spaces in between the brackets and parenthesis of links and now
requires a newline in between anchors and other formatting. This
updates all of the markdown files accordingly.
While here, it also corrects a couple of inconsistencies in some of the
README.md files.
