In this commit, we add a new method to the Store object that allows
callers to *manually* remove any conflicting transactions. At times,
it’s the case that while we were offline another transaction was
broadcast that double spends our own, or with the existence of RBF,
another replacement transaction was generated. In this case, when we
come back online, the tx will be rejected. Currently, we have no way of
removing such transaction sot avoid the retransmit-then-reject-dance.
This commit fixes that by adding RemoveUnminedTx.
While making these tests compile and pass, we ended up tripping on the
broken bolt cursor usage painfully discovered in dcrwallet, so i've
ported that fix over as well. Would have learned about that a whole
lot sooner if those tests were never disabled..
This changes the database access APIs and each of the "manager"
packages (waddrmgr/wstakemgr) so that transactions are opened (only)
by the wallet package and the namespace buckets that each manager
expects to operate on are passed in as parameters.
This helps improve the atomicity situation as it means that many
calls to these APIs can be grouped together into a single
database transaction.
This change does not attempt to completely fix the "half-processed"
block problem. Mined transactions are still added to the wallet
database under their own database transaction as this is how they are
notified by the consensus JSON-RPC server (as loose transactions,
without the rest of the block that contains them). It will make
updating to a fixed notification model significantly easier, as the
same "manager" APIs can still be used, but grouped into a single
atomic transaction.
This fixes a bug introduced by the new segwit behavior upstream in
btcd. Previously it was a nice optimization to skip the extra
serialization, and compute the txid manually from the serialized
transaction.
However, with segwit, doing that will generate an invalid txid, since
txid’s should ignore any witness data. Therefore, we now fallback to
using msgTx.TxSha() which serializes the transaction without witness
data before calculating the txid.
Since the coinbase maturity is now allowed to be defined per chain and
the old blockchain.CoinbaseMaturity constant has been removed, this
updates the code accordingly.
Also, update glide.lock to use the required version of btcd.
This updates all code to make use of the new chainhash package since the
old wire.ShaHash type and related functions have been removed in favor
of the abstracted package.
Also, while here, rename all variables that included sha in their name
to include hash instead.
Finally, update glide.lock to use the required version of btcd, btcutil,
and btcrpcclient.
This changes the wtxmgr.Store.UnminedTxs method to sort transactions,
using the Kahn topological sort algorithm, before returning
transactions to the caller. This is possible because transactions
form a sort of directed acyclic graph (DAG) where transactions
reference other transactions to spend their outputs (multiple
referenced outputs from a single transaction spent by the same
transaction count as a single graph edge).
This prevents the possibility of orphan rejection errors when sending
unmined transactions to a full node at startup. As these transactions
are sent using the sendrawtransaction RPC, which does not permit
orphans, this topological sort is required.
Fixes#156.
This commit corrects various things found by the static checkers
(comments, unkeyed fields, return after some if/else).
Add generated files and legacy files to the whitelist to be ignored.
Catch .travis.yml up with btcd so goclean can be run.
This changes the wallet.Open function signature to remove the database
namespace parameters. This is done so that the wallet package itself
is responsible for the location and opening of these namespaces from
the database, rather than requiring the caller to open these ahead of
time.
A new wallet.Create function has also been added. This function
initializes a new wallet in an empty database, using the same
namespaces as wallet.Open will eventually use. This relieves the
caller from needing to manage wallet database namespaces explicitly.
Fixes#397.
This is a rather monolithic commit that moves the old RPC server to
its own package (rpc/legacyrpc), introduces a new RPC server using
gRPC (rpc/rpcserver), and provides the ability to defer wallet loading
until request at a later time by an RPC (--noinitialload).
The legacy RPC server remains the default for now while the new gRPC
server is not enabled by default. Enabling the new server requires
setting a listen address (--experimenalrpclisten). This experimental
flag is used to effectively feature gate the server until it is ready
to use as a default. Both RPC servers can be run at the same time,
but require binding to different listen addresses.
In theory, with the legacy RPC server now living in its own package it
should become much easier to unit test the handlers. This will be
useful for any future changes to the package, as compatibility with
Core's wallet is still desired.
Type safety has also been improved in the legacy RPC server. Multiple
handler types are now used for methods that do and do not require the
RPC client as a dependency. This can statically help prevent nil
pointer dereferences, and was very useful for catching bugs during
refactoring.
To synchronize the wallet loading process between the main package
(the default) and through the gRPC WalletLoader service (with the
--noinitialload option), as well as increasing the loose coupling of
packages, a new wallet.Loader type has been added. All creating and
loading of existing wallets is done through a single Loader instance,
and callbacks can be attached to the instance to run after the wallet
has been opened. This is how the legacy RPC server is associated with
a loaded wallet, even after the wallet is loaded by a gRPC method in a
completely unrelated package.
Documentation for the new RPC server has been added to the
rpc/documentation directory. The documentation includes a
specification for the new RPC API, addresses how to make changes to
the server implementation, and provides short example clients in
several different languages.
Some of the new RPC methods are not implementated exactly as described
by the specification. These are considered bugs with the
implementation, not the spec. Known bugs are commented as such.
