This commit updates geth to 1.8.17 and adds a possibility to enable metrics during compilation time.
The cascade of issues forced us to upgrade geth to 1.8.17 in order to allow enabling metrics during compilation time. 1.8.17 introduced `NodeID` refactoring and `enode` package which affected our peers pool and integration with Discovery V5.
- Replace command line flags with `-c` config flag. Part of #1180
- Convert node config private keys to hex-encoded string versions.
- Remove `GenerateConfig` from library.
- Remove unused `FirebaseConfig` from library.
- Fix loading of `config/status-chain-genesis.json` in non-dev machines.
In the current codebase if you want to use different keys (or any
other configuration) for tests it is required to place them at a
certain path in static folder, bundle them with go-bindata and only
then run tests. This is simply unnecessary.
This commit instead directs loads configurations from file without
relying on go-bindata
- Replace deprecated common.Hex with hexutil.Encode.
- Remove upstreamed 0010-geth-17-fix-npe-in-filter-system.patch.
- Remove upstreamed 0020-discv5-metrics.patch.
- Remove upstreamed 0026-ethdb-error-deadlock.patch.
- Update goleveldb to same version used by geth 1.8.11.
- Update PublicTransactionPoolAPI.GasPrice return type to match type in internal geth interface.
This change makes invalidation mechanism more aggressive. With a primary goal to invalidate short living nodes faster. In current setup any node that became known in terms of discovery will stay in this state until it will fail to respond to 5 queries. Removing them earlier from a table allows to reduce latency for finding required nodes.
The second change, one adds a version for discovery, separates status dht from ethereum dht.
After we rolled out discovery it became obvious that our boot nodes became spammed with irrelevant nodes. And this made discovery process very long, for example with separate dht discovery takes ~2s, with mutual dht - it can take 1m-10m and there is still no guarantee to find a max amount of peers, cause status nodes is a very small part of whole ethereum infra.
In my understanding, we don't need to be a part of ethereum dht, and lower latency is way more important for us.
Closes: #941
Partially closes: #960 (960 requires futher investigations on devices)
* 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
* Update `github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum` package to 1.8.1 branch. Part of #638
* Fix code due to some signature changes. Part of #638
* use upstream for whisper backend
* Add patch to downgrade usage of Whisper v6 to v5 in some geth 1.8.1 vendor files. Part of #638
* Take into account the DNS rebinding protection introduced in 1.8.0 by adding exception for localhost. Part of #638
* Add patches required for cross-compiled builds starting with geth 1.8.0. Only applied during build. Part of #638
* Update expected JSON result in `TestRegressionGetTransactionReceipt()` and `TestCallRawResultGetTransactionReceipt()`. Part of #665
* Fix some failing e2e tests. Part of #638
* Address comments in PR #702. Part of #638
Network disconnect is introduced by removing default gateway, easily reversible condition.
On my local machine it takes 30 seconds for peers to reconnect after connectivity is restored. As you guess this is not an accident, and there is 30 seconds timeout for dial expiration. This dial expiration is used in p2p.Server to guarantee that peers are not dialed too often.
Additionally I added small script to Makefile to run such tests in docker environment, usage example:
```
make docker-test ARGS="./t/destructive/ -v -network=4"
```
* Fix string printed after compilation is done
On GNU coreutils 8.27, echo prints the \n occurrences as literals. This
commit changes the calls to echo containing such character to calls to
printf, and appends another \n in the end of the line.
* Fix indent
- new EthereumTransactor that provides higher level API for working with ethereum network, and it is fully conformant with ethclient
- new test rpc service that improves flexibility and coverage of txqueue manager tests
- run complete transaction sequantially for each address
- go-ethereum: Get pending nonce from transaction pool
- add a patch with getting nonce from transaction pool
Test code in `lib` package requires cgo, but cgo is not allowed in `*_test.go` files, so we import a lot of testing-related code into a library which also has a lot of side-effects. This fix adds a build tag `e2e_test` as a workaround.
Fix failing tests for users w/o access to the ACCOUNT_PASSWORD env variable. Disable e2e public network tests in Travis pull requests. Exclude lib dir from unit tests.
* Accounts are now encrypted with a strong passphrase.
* The encrypted passphrase is stored in .travis.yml
* Public testnet tests are now run after tests on a private net
We have a test called TestJailWhisper that checks various Whisper communication scenarios (like sending a message signed with a symmetric key, asymmetric keys etc.). However, it was written in a bit cryptic way, so I also refactored it.
Important changes:
* Cleaner way of importing keys using AddKeyPair() method in the test suite,
* Removed TestEncryptedAnonymousMessage because it is not needed anymore as "test 4" in TestJailWhisper was fixed,
* Bumped PoW to 2.0. 0.01 used by status-react makes this test flaky.
This PR refactors CLI API, removes obsolete commands and splits status code into smaller pieces:
* get rid of subcommands API (no ./status <command>)
* get rid of custom cli app package
* use stdlib flag package for handling command line flags
* move cross-compilation / mobile related code to lib/ package
* move wnode command into separate binary (cmd/node-status, name is subject to discuss)
* remove faucet command as obsolete
* update/add docs/READMES/wikis for new command line flags
It makes statusd code much simpler and smaller, separates concerns (lib, wnode and statusd are different things).
PR adds test flag -network to e2e pacakge, for the selection of the desired blockchain network for running tests. It updates readme to demonstrates usage of flag.
