When rewinding, remove insufficiently-validated blocks If a block is insufficiently-validated against a particular branch ID, then we cannot guarantee that even the block header will be valid under the actual consensus rules the node will want to apply. Instead require that the blocks are completely re-validated, by removing them from the block index (which is equivalent to reducing their validity to BLOCK_VALID_UNKNOWN). Closes #3100.
Regression tests of RPC interface
test_framework/test_framework.py
Base class for RPC regression tests.
test_framework/util.py
Generally useful functions.
Notes
You can run a single test by calling qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh <testname>.
Run all possible tests with qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh -extended.
Possible options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--nocleanup Leave bitcoinds and test.* datadir on exit or error
--noshutdown Don't stop bitcoinds after the test execution
--srcdir=SRCDIR Source directory containing bitcoind/bitcoin-cli (default:
../../src)
--tmpdir=TMPDIR Root directory for datadirs
--tracerpc Print out all RPC calls as they are made
If you set the environment variable PYTHON_DEBUG=1 you will get some debug output (example: PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh wallet).
A 200-block -regtest blockchain and wallets for four nodes is created the first time a regression test is run and is stored in the cache/ directory. Each node has the miner subsidy from 25 mature blocks (25*10=250 ZEC) in its wallet.
After the first run, the cache/ blockchain and wallets are copied into a temporary directory and used as the initial test state.
If you get into a bad state, you should be able to recover with:
rm -rf cache
killall zcashd
