testblockutil currently fails to add test blocks to Altair state because
it assumes phase0 blocks in various places. This patch corrects this
limitation by using forked types internally. Note that existing clients
so far solely operate on phase0 blocks and should eventually be updated.
Some clients disable their metadata V1 after the Altair fork, so we are unable to ping them correctly.
This PR adds a fallback to try metadata V2 if V1 fails.
* Add parallel attestation verification
* Update tests, batchVerify doesn't use the threadpool with only single core (nim-blscurve update)
* bump nim-blscurve
* Debug info for failing eth2 test vectors
* remove submodule eth2-testnets
* verbose debugging of make failure on Windows (libbacktrace?)
* Remove CI debug mode
* initialization convention
* Fix new altair tests
When creating beacon blocks, the state needs to be advanced to the new
slot to determine the correct proposer index. In #875 a regression got
introduced that removed this logic when mocking blocks. Existing tests
failed to detect this, as they do not make use of the proposer index.
This patch re-introduces the state advancement, fixing the problem.
Currently, only the function to mock a block at next slot is exported.
A more generic function that allows specifying any slot is available but
not exported. This patch marks that function to also be exported.
The template `message` extracts fork specific data from a forked block.
However, its current implementation does not compile due to each fork
returning a different type, i.e., the generated `case` code attempts to
return different types from each branch. As the template is unused, it
is safely removed for now.
The mocking framework was limited to chain configurations that do not
include Altair at genesis. This patch extends it so that genesis states
can be generated that are already upgraded to Altair. This is useful for
tests such as eth2spec/test/altair/unittests/test_sync_protocol.py.
The `initGenesisState` function to mock genesis states for testing was
originally introduced with a `genesis_time` parameter in #326. However,
this parameter was never respected and genesis state was always mocked
with `genesis_time` assumed to be 0. Since there is no test overriding
`genesis_time`, the parameter is removed until needed.
* add merge SSZ consensus object tests
* add merge attestations, attester slashing, proposer slashing, and voluntary exit test fixtures
* throw catchable exception rather than assert on invalid SingleMemberUnion selector
* hash_tree_root can assert, because it's trusted data by that point
* re-assert on writing, since also trusted data
* beta.4 update
* implement upgrade_to_merge()
In edd9826464, VCS ignores were introduced
to ignore the output from building and running the research tools from
their directory. Over time, new research tools got introduced, but the
ignore list did not get updated. Updating now for current set of tools.
The developer documentation contains a comment mentioning the version of
Nim that the project is tested against. This comment was not updated for
a while (last Nim update in #2508). Bumping now to be in sync once more.
