P2P test design notes
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
## Mininode
|
|
|
|
* ```mininode.py``` contains all the definitions for objects that pass
|
|
over the network (```CBlock```, ```CTransaction```, etc, along with the network-level
|
|
wrappers for them, ```msg_block```, ```msg_tx```, etc).
|
|
|
|
* P2P tests have two threads. One thread handles all network communication
|
|
with the bitcoind(s) being tested (using python's asyncore package); the other
|
|
implements the test logic.
|
|
|
|
* ```NodeConn``` is the class used to connect to a bitcoind. If you implement
|
|
a callback class that derives from ```NodeConnCB``` and pass that to the
|
|
```NodeConn``` object, your code will receive the appropriate callbacks when
|
|
events of interest arrive.
|
|
|
|
* You can pass the same handler to multiple ```NodeConn```'s if you like, or pass
|
|
different ones to each -- whatever makes the most sense for your test.
|
|
|
|
* Call ```NetworkThread.start()``` after all ```NodeConn``` objects are created to
|
|
start the networking thread. (Continue with the test logic in your existing
|
|
thread.)
|
|
|
|
* RPC calls are available in p2p tests.
|
|
|
|
* Can be used to write free-form tests, where specific p2p-protocol behavior
|
|
is tested. Examples: ```p2p-accept-block.py```, ```maxblocksinflight.py```.
|
|
|
|
## Comptool
|
|
|
|
* Testing framework for writing tests that compare the block/tx acceptance
|
|
behavior of a bitcoind against 1 or more other bitcoind instances, or against
|
|
known outcomes, or both.
|
|
|
|
* Set the ```num_nodes``` variable (defined in ```ComparisonTestFramework```) to start up
|
|
1 or more nodes. If using 1 node, then ```--testbinary``` can be used as a command line
|
|
option to change the bitcoind binary used by the test. If using 2 or more nodes,
|
|
then ```--refbinary``` can be optionally used to change the bitcoind that will be used
|
|
on nodes 2 and up.
|
|
|
|
* Implement a (generator) function called ```get_tests()``` which yields ```TestInstance```s.
|
|
Each ```TestInstance``` consists of:
|
|
- a list of ```[object, outcome, hash]``` entries
|
|
* ```object``` is a ```CBlock```, ```CTransaction```, or
|
|
```CBlockHeader```. ```CBlock```'s and ```CTransaction```'s are tested for
|
|
acceptance. ```CBlockHeader```s can be used so that the test runner can deliver
|
|
complete headers-chains when requested from the bitcoind, to allow writing
|
|
tests where blocks can be delivered out of order but still processed by
|
|
headers-first bitcoind's.
|
|
* ```outcome``` is ```True```, ```False```, or ```None```. If ```True```
|
|
or ```False```, the tip is compared with the expected tip -- either the
|
|
block passed in, or the hash specified as the optional 3rd entry. If
|
|
```None``` is specified, then the test will compare all the bitcoind's
|
|
being tested to see if they all agree on what the best tip is.
|
|
* ```hash``` is the block hash of the tip to compare against. Optional to
|
|
specify; if left out then the hash of the block passed in will be used as
|
|
the expected tip. This allows for specifying an expected tip while testing
|
|
the handling of either invalid blocks or blocks delivered out of order,
|
|
which complete a longer chain.
|
|
- ```sync_every_block```: ```True/False```. If ```False```, then all blocks
|
|
are inv'ed together, and the test runner waits until the node receives the
|
|
last one, and tests only the last block for tip acceptance using the
|
|
outcome and specified tip. If ```True```, then each block is tested in
|
|
sequence and synced (this is slower when processing many blocks).
|
|
- ```sync_every_transaction```: ```True/False```. Analogous to
|
|
```sync_every_block```, except if the outcome on the last tx is "None",
|
|
then the contents of the entire mempool are compared across all bitcoind
|
|
connections. If ```True``` or ```False```, then only the last tx's
|
|
acceptance is tested against the given outcome.
|
|
|
|
* For examples of tests written in this framework, see
|
|
```invalidblockrequest.py``` and ```p2p-fullblocktest.py```.
