This commit adds a `defer` statement at the top of `TestRpcServer` which will attempt a `recover` which tears down all active harnesses in the event that one of the tests causes a panic in the main goroutine. Before this commit, if a buggy test caused a panic while all integration tests were being executed, then any active harnesses would fail to be properly torn down. This would cause the running btcd processes to be leaked, possibly interfering with future test runs until the process was manually killed. This commit fixes such behavior. In order to aide in debugging, when a test panics, the test number is printed out along with a full stack-trace from the start of the test to the panic point. |

btcd
[] (https://travis-ci.org/btcsuite/btcd)
btcd is an alternative full node bitcoin implementation written in Go (golang).
This project is currently under active development and is in a Beta state. It is extremely stable and has been in production use since October 2013.
It properly downloads, validates, and serves the block chain using the exact rules (including bugs) for block acceptance as Bitcoin Core. We have taken great care to avoid btcd causing a fork to the block chain. It passes all of the 'official' block acceptance tests (https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/test-scripts) as well as all of the JSON test data in the Bitcoin Core code.
It also relays newly mined blocks, maintains a transaction pool, and relays individual transactions that have not yet made it into a block. It ensures all transactions admitted to the pool follow the rules required by the block chain and also includes the same checks which filter transactions based on miner requirements ("standard" transactions) as Bitcoin Core.
One key difference between btcd and Bitcoin Core is that btcd does NOT include wallet functionality and this was a very intentional design decision. See the blog entry here for more details. This means you can't actually make or receive payments directly with btcd. That functionality is provided by the btcwallet and Paymetheus (Windows-only) projects which are both under active development.
Requirements
Go 1.6 or newer.
Installation
Windows - MSI Available
https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd/releases
Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source
-
Install Go according to the installation instructions here: http://golang.org/doc/install
-
Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:
$ go version
$ go env GOROOT GOPATH
NOTE: The GOROOT
and GOPATH
above must not be the same path. It is
recommended that GOPATH
is set to a directory in your home directory such as
~/goprojects
to avoid write permission issues. It is also recommended to add
$GOPATH/bin
to your PATH
at this point.
- Run the following commands to obtain btcd, all dependencies, and install it:
$ go get -u github.com/Masterminds/glide
$ git clone https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd
$ glide install
$ go install . ./cmd/...
- btcd (and utilities) will now be installed in
$GOPATH/bin
. If you did not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation, we recommend you do so now.
Updating
Windows
Install a newer MSI
Linux/BSD/MacOSX/POSIX - Build from Source
- Run the following commands to update btcd, all dependencies, and install it:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd
$ git pull && glide install
$ go install . ./cmd/...
Getting Started
btcd has several configuration options avilable to tweak how it runs, but all of the basic operations described in the intro section work with zero configuration.
Windows (Installed from MSI)
Launch btcd from your Start menu.
Linux/BSD/POSIX/Source
$ ./btcd

Documentation
The documentation is a work-in-progress. It is located in the docs folder.
GPG Verification Key
All official release tags are signed by Conformal so users can ensure the code has not been tampered with and is coming from the btcsuite developers. To verify the signature perform the following:
-
Download the public key from the Conformal website at https://opensource.conformal.com/GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
-
Import the public key into your GPG keyring:
gpg --import GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
-
Verify the release tag with the following command where
TAG_NAME
is a placeholder for the specific tag:git tag -v TAG_NAME
