In advance of deprecating the generate RPC method, make some small
changes to a small number of inidividual test cases:
- make memory checking less prescriptive in wallet_basic.py
- replace calls to generate with generatetoaddress in wallet_keypool.py
- replace calls to generate with generatetoaddress and fixup label
issues in wallet_labels.py
- replace calls to generate with generatetoaddress in wallet_multiwallet.py
labels are associated with addresses (rather than addresses being
associated with labels, as was the case with accounts). The
getlabeladdress does not make sense in this model, so remove it.
getaccountaddress is still supported for one release as the accounts
API is deprecated.
Future commits will deprecate the accounts RPC methods, arguments and
return objects. Set the -deprecatedrpc=accounts switch now so tests
don't break in intermediate commits.
Add label API to wallet RPC.
This is one step towards #3816 ("Remove bolt-on account system") although it doesn't
actually remove anything yet.
These initially mirror the account functions, with the following differences:
- These functions aren't DEPRECATED in the help
- Help mentions 'label' instead of accounts. In the language used, labels are
associated with addresses, instead of addresses associated with labels. (unlike
with accounts.)
- Labels have no balance
- No balances in `listlabels`
- `listlabels` has no minconf or watchonly argument
- Like in the GUI, labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addreses
- Unlike accounts, labels can be deleted.
Being unable to delete them is a common annoyance (see #1231).
Currently only by reassigning all addresses using `setlabel`, but an explicit
call `deletelabel` which assigns all address to the default label may make
sense.
Thanks to Pierre Rochard for test fixes.
