Almost all test scripts currently need to override the __init__()
method. When they do that they need to call into super().__init__() as
the base class does some generic initialization.
This commit makes the base class __init__() call into set_test_params()
method. Individual test cases can override set_test_params() to setup
their test parameters.
All Node classes in individual test cases subclass from NodeConnCB. Many
have duplicate definitions for methods that are defined in the base
class. This commit removes those duplicate definitions.
This commit removes ~290 lines of duplicate code.
This commit adds some helper functions to NodeConnCB which are useful
for many tests:
- NodeConnCB now keeps track of the number of each message type that
it's received and the most recent message of each type. Many tests
assert on the most recent block, tx or reject message.
- NodeConnCB now keeps track of its connection state by setting a
connected boolean in on_open() and on_close()
- NodeConnCB now has wait_for_block, wait_for_getdata,
wait_for_getheaders, wait_for_inv and wait_for_verack methods
I have updated the individual test cases to make sure that there are no
namespace problems that cause them to fail with these new definitions.
Future commits will remove the duplicate code.
sync_with_ping currently returns false if the timeout expires, and it is
the caller's responsibility to fail the test. However, none of the tests
currently assert on sync_with_ping()'s return code. This commit adds an
assert to sync_with_ping so the test will fail if the timeout expires.
This commit also removes all the duplicate implementations of
sync_with_ping() from the individual tests.
This commit merges the NodeConnCB and SingleNodeConnCB into a single
class (called NodeConnCB). The original intent for the NodeConnCB was to
be able to have a python 'mininode' connect to multiple running
bitcoinds. This has never been used and can be achieved more easily by
having multiple NodeConns backed by a common datastore if it is ever
needed.
The changes in mininode.py are just code moves (and merging the two
classes into a single class). The code changes in the individual test
cases are changing the subclasses to subclass from NodeConnCB instead of
SingleNodeConnCB. There is a lot of duplicate code in the subclasses
that can be removed in future commits.
