TestNode is a class responsible for all state related to a bitcoind node
under test. It stores local state, is responsible for tracking the
bitcoind process and delegates unrecognised messages to the RPC
connection.
This commit changes start_nodes and stop_nodes to start and stop the
bitcoind nodes in parallel, making test setup and teardown much faster.
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.
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
This commit marks the start/stop functions in util.py as private module
functions. A future PR will remove these entirely and move the
functionality directly into the BitcoinTestFramework class, but setting them as
private in this PR will prevent anyone from accidentally calling them
before that future PR is merged.
This commit reduces spammy logging by the test framework. It truncates
logging send/receive message in mininode to 500 characters. mininode
was previously logging the entire message sent received, which can be up
to 1MB for a full block.
