* extract unused clique/mining support into separate file
why:
mining is currently unsupported by nimbus
* Replay first 51840 transactions from Goerli block chain
why:
Currently Goerli is loaded but the block headers are not verified.
Replaying allows real data PoA development.
details:
Simple stupid gzipped dump/undump layer for debugging based on
the zlib module (no nim-faststream support.)
This is a replay running against p2p/chain.persistBlocks() where
the data were captured from.
* prepare stubs for PoA engine
* split executor source into sup-modules
why:
make room for updates, clique integration should go into
executor/update_poastate.nim
* Simplify p2p/executor.processBlock() function prototype
why:
vmState argument always wraps basicChainDB
* split processBlock() into sub-functions
why:
isolate the part where it will support clique/poa
* provided additional processTransaction() function prototype without _fork_ argument
why:
with the exception of some tests, the _fork_ argument is always derived
from the other prototype argument _vmState_
details:
similar situation with makeReceipt()
* provide new processBlock() version explicitly supporting PoA
details:
The new processBlock() version supporting PoA is the general one also
supporting non-PoA networks, it needs an additional _Clique_ descriptor
function argument for PoA state (if any.)
The old processBlock() function without the _Clique_ descriptor argument
retorns an error on PoA networgs (e.g. Goerli.)
* re-implemented Clique descriptor as _ref object_
why:
gives more flexibility when moving around the descriptor object
details:
also cleaned up a bit the clique sources
* comments for clarifying handling of Clique/PoA state descriptor
* continue importing rlp blocks
why:
a chain of blocks to be imported might have legit blocks
after rejected blocks
details:
import loop only stops if the import list is exhausted or if there
was a decoding error. this adds another four to the count of successful
no-hive tests.
* verify DAO marked extra data field in block header
why:
was ignored, scores another two no-hive tests
* verify minimum required difficulty in header validator
why:
two more nohive tests to succeed
details:
* subsumed extended header tests under validateKinship() and renamed it
more appropriately validateHeaderAndKinship()
* enhanced readability of p2p/chain.nim
* cleaned up test_blockchain_json.nim
* verify positive gasUsed unless no transactions
why:
solves another to nohive tests
details:
straightened test_blockchain_json chech so there is no unconditional
rejection anymore (based on the input test scenario)
File `vm_types2` is obsolete. Remove this file and divert all imports to the
common forks list outside the EVM, or in some cases they don't need it anyway.

now test_blockchain_json is using block validation code
from p2p/executor.nim instead of using it's own
block validation code.
this will reduce maintenance cost and fixes#592.
instead of using it's own blockNumber to Fork calculation,
we switch to ChainConfig to Fork to ensure smooth transition
when using common block validator.
instead of using stdlib/json, now we switch to json_serialization
the result is much tidier code and more robust when parsing
optional fields.
fixes#635
disableParamFiltering() is called in test_all, so its ok when
called via test_all. but when test_generalstate_json or
test_blockchain_json is called independently, and we are using
command line switch, the default param handler from std/unittest
will interfere. hence need to disable it.
The "new block chain json tests" were being skipped on Linux, but silently so
that CI didn't notice. These are a significant part of the Ethereum test suite.
See the missing output from `make test`, also visible in CI logs for Linux
targets (prior to this commit):
[OK] tests/fixtures/eth_tests/TransactionTests/ttGasPrice/TransactionWithGasPriceOverflow.json
[OK] tests/fixtures/eth_tests/TransactionTests/ttGasPrice/TransactionWithHighGasPrice.json
[Suite] new block chain json tests
<-- nothing here
[Suite] Fork ID tests
[OK] MainNet
[OK] RopstenNet
Commit 3d468a7 (`fixes path pointing to eth_tests`) renamed the JSON fixture
source directoryf in the witness-builder tests but not the regular blockchain
tests. As a result, searching for JSON test files yielded zero results. To
make this less likely in future, zero results is now an error.
