Transactions were included in the mempool as rawtxs but checked as txids, so effectively every time we checked if a transaction was in mempool it returned false
- Adds a PRG based on a hardcoded seed to make the tests reproducible (get_random_value_hex)
- Updates all the tests replacing urandom for get_random_value_hex
- Properly places misplaced bitcoin_cli in bitcoin_sim_tests
- Typos
The simulator has been updated to work with real transaction structures instead of transaction hashes. It now supports:
- Non-SegWit transaction format
- Generation of blocks event-wise and time-wise
Some small issues have also been fixed.
With the new approach, the simulator can be used in a broader range of tests. Moreover tests can run faster since they do not have to wait for blocks. Instead, the generation of new blocks can be triggered by the test.
bitcoin_cli as a global variable in the main __init__.py was creating issues related to http.client.CannotSendRequest: Request-sent and connection re-usage. Define a new connection per request.
- Adds unit tests for API
- Updates API to let BlockProcessor deal with block block related JSON-RPC
- Fixes BlockProcessor get_potential_matches return
- Makes bitcoin_sim runnable via function (instead of a main runnable script) to work with pytests fixture
- <3 Fixture
