This resulted in double-initializing the asset directory (and from multiple
places), so I added a `ClearGlobalAssetDir` method and called it from the
qt test setup.
Add WalletClient interface so node interface is cleaner and don't need
wallet-specific methods.
The new NodeContext::wallet_client pointer will also be needed to eliminate
global wallet variables like ::vpwallets, because createWallet(), loadWallet(),
getWallets(), etc methods called by the GUI need a way to get a reference to
the list of open wallets if it is no longer a global variable.
Also tweaks splash screen registration for load wallet events to be delayed
until after wallet client is created.
Add AppInitInterfaces function so wallet chain and chain client interfaces are
created earlier during initialization. This is needed in the next commit to
allow the gui splash screen to be able to register for wallet events through a
dedicated WalletClient interface instead managing wallets indirectly through
the Node interface. This only works if the wallet client interface is created
before the splash screen needs to use it.
Change gui code to use gArgs, Params() functions directly instead of going
through interfaces::Node.
Remotely accessing bitcoin-node ArgsManager from bitcoin-gui works fine in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102, when bitcoin-gui spawns a new
bitcoin-node process and controls its startup, but for bitcoin-gui to support
-ipcconnect option in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19461 and connect
to an existing bitcoin-node process, it needs ability to parse arguments itself
before connecting out.
This change also simplifies https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 a
bit, by making the bitcoin-gui -> bitcoin-node startup sequence more similar to
the bitcoin-node -> bitcoin-wallet startup sequence where the parent process
parses arguments and passes them to the child process instead of the parent
process using the child process to parse arguments.
edc316020e test: Remove duplicate NodeContext hacks (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
Qt tests currently are currently using two NodeContext structs at the same time, one in interfaces::NodeImpl::m_context, and the other in BasicTestingSetup::m_node, and the tests have hacks transferring state between them.
Fix this by getting rid of the NodeImpl::m_context struct and making it a pointer. This way a common BitcoinApplication object can be used for all qt tests, but they can still have their own testing setups.
Non-test code is changing but non-test behavior is still the same as before.
Motivation for this PR is to be able to remove the "std::move(test.m_node.connman)" and mempool hacks for swapping individual NodeContext members in Qt tests, because followup PR #19099 adds yet another member (wallet_client) that needs to be swapped. After this change, the whole NodeContext struct can be swapped instead of individual members, so the workarounds are less fragile and invasive.

Persistent settings are used in followup PRs #15936 to unify gui settings
between bitcoin-qt and bitcoind, and #15937 to add a load_on_startup flag to
the loadwallet RPC and maintain a dynamic list of wallets that should be loaded
on startup that also can be shared between bitcoind and bitcoin-qt.
