- delete "tests/simulation/{data,validators}" by default, because old
validator keys can lead to a crash with a cryptic error message
- actually start the Prometheus daemon on `make eth2_network_simulation`
- kill any running Prometheus daemon on exit
- fix some shell script syntax incompatible with Bash
- better logging & retrying requests on the VC side if the BN fails for some reason
- VC now fetches the attestation duties 1 epoch in advance - in the future it will tell the BN to subscribe to the appropriate attestation topics in advance based on that info
- a bunch of other code cleanup & fixes such as better naming for consoles when using multitail, etc.
reviewed in PR #1184 - proper review of the API & VC are pending
- moved "process_dashboard.nim" in "tools/"
- README: made Witti the documented testnet and added instructions for
getting metrics out of the local node
- moved Prometheus config file generation in its own script
- the static Grafana dashboard definition now covers all nodes, using
a variable; only the remote testnet dashboards need to be dynamically
generated
- "launch_local_testnet.sh" no longer needs a "--grafana" option
- each BN gets half of its previous validators as inProcess and the other half goes to the respective VC for that BN - using separate data dirs where the keys are copied
- also removed a few command line options which are no longer necessary
- block proposals originating from a VC are propagated from one BN to the rest properly
- other cleanup & moving code back to since it is no longer used elsewhere
- we have a new binary which connects via RPC to the respective BN and has an internal clock - waking it up on every slot
- the BN has a new option called --external-validators and currently in order to have the VC binaries to run we need to pass EXTERNAL_VALIDATORS=yes to make
- factored some code out of beacon_node.nim for easier reuse in validator_api.nim and validator_client.nim
- the VC loads its associated private keys from the datadir for its BN
- most of the validator API calls have been implemented as a stub.
- the VC polls its BN at the start of each epoch - getting a list of all active validators for the current epoch - and then continues to request blocks and sign them with its appropriate validators when necessary
* Jenkins: add timeouts to testnet finalisation tests
- add nicer child process management to "launch_local_testnet.sh"
- correct a comment in "start.sh"
* the Jenkins worker's version of "timeout" doesn't support "-v"
* fix mainnet finalization and swith eth2_network_simulation to a kind of small-mainnet profile
* Fix slot reference in trace logging
* bump a couple of spec refs from v0.11.0 to v0.11.1
* bump another spec ref to v0.11.1, one more try at Jenkins test vector download CI issue
* fix other slot reference in trace logging and skip past single-block/multi-slot gaps to re-approach from ancestry side by state_transitioning, by requiring exact match on both root hash and slot for fast path
* make more precise the fast path condition
* redo logic to make uniform with BeaconChainDB; fix chronos deprecation warning
* revert not-working replacement of deprecated chronos futures `or`
* switch testnet1 to mainnet
* refactor --verify-finalization from run_node to only be invoked via eth2_network_simulation and local sim; clean up various shell issues
* remove hardcoded --verify-finalization in launch_local_testnet
