This change adds adds an ability to use different source of time for whisper:
when envelope is created it is used to set expiry
to track when envelope needs to be expired
This time is then used to check validity of the envelope when it is received. Currently If we receive an envelope that is sent from future - peer will get disconnected. If envelope that was received has an expiry less then now it will be simply dropped, if expiry is less than now + 10*2 seconds peer will get dropped.
So, it is clear that whisper depends on time. And any time we get a skew with peers that is > 20s reliability will be grealy reduced.
In this change another source of time for whisper will be used. This time source will use ntp servers from pool.ntp.org to compute offset. When whisper queries time - this offset will be added/substracted from current time.
Query is executed every 2 mins, queries 5 different servers, cut offs min and max and the computes mean value. pool.ntp.org is resolved to different servers and according to documentation you will rarely hit the same.
Closes: #687
Every peer must be subscribed to the topic that is used to send messages.
In the test Alice was communicating with Bob and Charlie over custom topic, but
that topic wasn't added to a bloom filter, thus a certain flake was possible.
Normally it wasn't causing problems because syncAllowance in whisper, which is 10s:
- we set bloom filter to all zeros
- but we still will accept all envelopes for 10s
- in case we send first envelope into such channel after sync allowance - we will get an error such
that envelope doesn't match the bloom filter
* add LogEnabled attribute to NodeConfig, used in the call from status-react
* fix use of OverrideRootLogin in tests
* enable logger in tests based on LogLevel
* move LogEnabled before LogFile
* Add RequestMessage to sshext
* E2E tests now use shhext_requestMessages
* Typo in comment
* Enhanced maintainability
* Drop former mailservice
* Code reorg after review
* Fix missed changes after update to 1.8.5
* Rebase on 1.8.5
* Remove outdated patches and apply all others
* Use shh_post that returns hash
* Use bloom filter for request to mailserver
* Remove tests for sending messages without subbing first
* Fix deadlock in ethdb
* Expect null if receipt is not yet created
* Subscribe to messages before sending them in whisper test
* Add default peer limits configuration
If discovery is enabled for a given cluster - we will set a default
expected number of peers for each enabled service. For example:
- if cluster is rinkeby has a discovery enabled we will
check which services are enabled
- if whisper is enabled we will set min and max limits by default
- if les is enabled and infura is not used we will set limits too
When statusd is used - configuration must be provided using configuration
supported by statusd.
* Fix deadlock in les peer set
* Start enabling to test Mainnet
* Minor corrections found during code scan
* Set mainnet blocker in E2E again
* Introduced securing of mainnet transaction tests
* Fix typing error
* Typo led to follow-up errors
* Linter problem
* Change to individual test skips after review
* More flexible skip control for mainnet and status chain
* Fix double space
* Change of skipping method and fixing wrong skipped networks
This change will greatly simplify writing unit tests when a node is required but data persistence is irrelevant.
I also Introduced some refactoring and unit tests for `StatusNode`.
* Implement shh api extension that allows to confirm that message is sent
* Add a patch
* Fix linter
* Add readme
* Add tests for tracker
* Address review
We need to be able to sign more than just transactions to make DApps
work properly. This change separates signing requests from the
transactions and make it more general to prepare to intoduce different
types of signing requests.
This change is designed to preserve status APIs, so it is
backward-comparible with the current API bindings.
- [x] [#797] : Remove unused methods PopulateStaticPeers, ReconnectStaticPeers, removeStaticPeers, removePeer
- [x] [#797] : Rename node.Manager to node. StatusNode and simplify its public api
- [x] [#797] : Rename all references to nodeManager to statusNode
* Rename bootnode to static peers
Also add some groupings between types.
* Remove not needed genesisHash
* More cleanup of bootnodes with static peers
* Add option of cluster configuration file
* New generated bindata.go
* Changes after npm install
* Add argument for cluster configuration file
* Add test for dynamic cluster loading
Not yet sure with name "cluster config".
* Solved conflicts

* Remove static peers population
* Missing argument for config
* Renaming of static peers to boot nodes for consistency
* Fix of name change
* Cluster config is now cluster data
* Load static nodes from configuration
* Final renaming of var for file content
* Add debug log to test package t
* Add comments for test restrictions
* Add explicit errors for mainnet
* Panic instead of error in case of mainnet during tests
* Now panic with illegal network
* Validate the compiler flag for mainnet
* Made test for unset mainnet explicit
* Forgot to use my flag
* Linter has troubles with unused field
* Add default network id
In e2e tests there's no default anymore in go code. So ensure in Makefile.
* Fix dumb syntax error
* CI needs build with Mainnet
* Explicit rebuild only for tests
* No more separation of mainnet and testnet builds
* Build flags now set in Makefile
I am not 100% percent sure what is happening but it seems that
newMessageFilter is async operation, result of this operation is assumed
to be used in callbacks. All other tests are doing at least 1 io operation
in between creating a filter and posting a message, and it must be enough
for newMessageFilter to complete.
Setting higher GOMAXPROCS allows Otto vm to execute received io requests
immediatly. While lower number of processes may result in events re-ordering.

I tested this change with GOMAXPROCS=1 and it passes consistently.

Test waits till synchronization is started, then interrupts network connection, wait for a failure event and restore network connection, confirming that after the connection is restored synchronization will proceed.
