Alexander Block 3a1aeb000e Multiple fixes/refactorings for ChainLocks (#2765)
* Print which DKG type aborted

* Don't directly call EnforceBestChainLock and instead schedule the call

Calling EnforceBestChainLock might result in switching chains, which in
turn might end up calling signals, so we get into a recursive call chain.

Better to call EnforceBestChainLock from the scheduler.

* Regularly call EnforceBestChainLock and reset error flags on locked chain

* Don't invalidate blocks from CChainLocksHandler::TrySignChainTip

As the name of this method implies, it's trying to sign something and not
enforce/invalidate chains. Invalidating blocks is the job of
EnforceBestChainLock.

* Only call ActivateBestChain when tip != best CL tip

* Fix unprotected access of bestChainLockBlockIndex and bail out if its null

* Fix ChainLocks tests after changes in enforcement handling

* Only invoke NotifyChainLock signal from EnforceBestChainLock

This ensures that NotifyChainLock is not prematurely called before the
block is fully connected.

* Use a mutex to ensure that only one thread executes ActivateBestChain

It might happen that 2 threads enter ActivateBestChain at the same time
start processing block by block, while randomly switching between threads
so that sometimes one thread processed the block and then another one
processes it. A mutex protects ActivateBestChain now against this race.

* Rename local copy of bestChainLockBlockIndex to currentBestChainLockBlockIndex

* Don't call ActivateBestChain when best CL is part of the main chain

The pull-tester folder contains a script to call multiple tests from the rpc-tests folder.

Every pull request to the Dash Core repository is built and run through the regression test suite. You can also run all or only individual tests locally.

Test dependencies

Before running the tests, the following must be installed.

Unix

The python3-zmq library is required. On Ubuntu or Debian it can be installed via:

sudo apt-get install python3-zmq

OS X

pip3 install pyzmq

Running tests

You can run any single test by calling

qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py <testname>

Or you can run any combination of tests by calling

qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py <testname1> <testname2> <testname3> ...

Run the regression test suite with

qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py

Run all possible tests with

qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py --extended

By default, tests will be run in parallel. To specify how many jobs to run, append --jobs=n (default n=4).

If you want to create a basic coverage report for the RPC test suite, append --coverage.

Possible options, which apply to each individual test run:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --nocleanup           Leave dashds and test.* datadir on exit or error
  --noshutdown          Don't stop dashds after the test execution
  --srcdir=SRCDIR       Source directory containing dashd/dash-cli
                        (default: ../../src)
  --tmpdir=TMPDIR       Root directory for datadirs
  --tracerpc            Print out all RPC calls as they are made
  --coveragedir=COVERAGEDIR
                        Write tested RPC commands into this directory

If you set the environment variable PYTHON_DEBUG=1 you will get some debug output (example: PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py wallet).

A 200-block -regtest blockchain and wallets for four nodes is created the first time a regression test is run and is stored in the cache/ directory. Each node has 25 mature blocks (25*500=12500 DASH) in its wallet.

After the first run, the cache/ blockchain and wallets are copied into a temporary directory and used as the initial test state.

If you get into a bad state, you should be able to recover with:

rm -rf cache
killall dashd

Writing tests

You are encouraged to write tests for new or existing features. Further information about the test framework and individual RPC tests is found in qa/rpc-tests.
