3e1ee31 [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp. (sean)
Pull request description:
blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.

As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11289#issuecomment-334600457, adds the CScripts from the wallet to the `dumpwallet` RPC and then allows them to be imported with the `importwallet` RPC. Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC.
Notes:
- Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC `
- currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue.
- there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans
- `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.

* `dig seed.testnet.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl` (should have propagated by now, but if you only see two records with `A 66.111... ` try again later)
* deleting the other seeds and all data in `.../testnet3`, recompiling and then starting the node. Log shows `21 addresses found from DNS seeds`.
ACK https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/dnsseed-policy.md
I'm willing to keep it up and running at least throughout 2018, unless something bad happens.
About my setup:
* Amazon EC2 instance in Europe, running Ubuntu 16.04; I use this instance for some other chores, but only port 53 is world reachable (for mainnet I'd probably run a dedicated instance, and perhaps a location I have physical control over)
* running [sipa/bitcoin-seeder](https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder) with default settings (and the non-root port redirect)
* feedback about my domain / DNS setup is welcome, I can provide more details via private email
I can use guidance on _Any hosting services contracted by the operator are equally expected to uphold these expectations_. Although I assume the requirements for testnet are less strict than for mainnet, in case I want to pursue the latter in the future: what unpleasant things can Amazon, my domain registrar and other intermediaries do? How would I mitigate that?
Also note that The Netherlands passed some pretty onerous legislation creating uncertainty over what the secret service can compel people like myself to do. However these laws won't take effect before mid 2018, there's probably more interesting targets than myself to go after, and it's easier for them to just monitor all unencrypted P2P traffic everywhere, or monitor some intermediary I depend on.
Any good tools for monitoring uptime?

2862b56 [tests] remove redundant univalue_tests.cpp (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
univalue unit tests were added in #4730 , and exist at `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp` (outside the univalue tree). That test was brought into the univalue repository in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/univalue/pull/4 , which was pulled into the github repository in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11420.
That means that the univalue test exists in two places:
1. `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp`
2. `/src/univalue/test/object.cpp`
(2) is a strict superset of (1). It adds some macros to work around boost not being a univalue dependency, and adds a few extra lines of test.
Therefore remove `/src/test/univalue_tests.cpp`

ecf9b25 remove unused fNoncriticalErrors variable from CWalletDB::FindWalletTx (Pierre Rochard)
Pull request description:
The `CWalletDB::FindWalletTx` method was patterned after `CWalletDB::LoadWallet`, where `fNoncriticalErrors` is used when a tx check fails in `ReadKeyValue`.
Since `FindWalletTx` is only used by methods which are zapping txs, it makes sense that `ReadKeyValue` is not called and the tx is not checked, so I think that deleting the unused `fNoncriticalErrors` boolean variable and its conditional statement is appropriate.

12781db [Tests] check specific validation error in miner tests (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
## Problem
`BOOST_CHECK_THROW` merely checks that some `std::runtime_error` is
thrown, but not which one.
Here's an example of how this can cause a test to pass when a developer
introduces a consensus bug. The test for the sigops limit assumes
that `CreateNewBlock` fails with `bad-blk-sigops`. However it can
also fail with bad-txns-vout-negative, if a naive developer lowers
`BLOCKSUBSIDY` to `1*COIN`.
## Solution
`BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION` allows an additional predicate function. This
commit uses this for all exceptions that are checked for in
`miner_tets.cpp`:
* `bad-blk-sigops`
* `bad-cb-multiple`
* `bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent`
* `block-validation-failed`
If the function throws a different error, the test will fail. Although the message produced by Boost is a bit [confusing](http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Test-BOOST-CHECK-EXCEPTION-error-message-still-vague-tt4683257.html#a4683554), it does show which error was actually thrown. Here's what the above `1*COIN` bug would result in:
<img width="1134" alt="schermafbeelding 2017-09-02 om 23 42 29" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10217/29998976-815cabce-9038-11e7-9c46-f5f6cfb0ca7d.png">
## Other considerations
A more elegant solution in my opinion would be to subclass `std::runtime_error` for each `INVALID_TRANSACTION` type, but this would involve touching consensus code.
I put the predicates in `test_bitcoin.h` because I assume they can be reused in other test files. However [serialize_tests.cpp](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.15.0rc3/src/test/serialize_tests.cpp#L245) also uses `BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION` and it defines the predicate in the test file itself.
Instead of four `IsRejectInvalidReasonX(std::runtime_error const& e)` functions, I'd prefer something reusable like `bool IsRejectInvalidReason(String reason)(std::runtime_error const& e)`, which would be used like `BOOST_CHECK_EXCEPTION(functionThatThrows(), std::runtime_error, IsRejectInvalidReason("bad-blk-sigops")`. I couldn't figure out how to do that in C++.

We'll need to create sockets and perform the actual connect in separate steps, so break them up.
#11227 adds an RAII wrapper around connection attempts, as a belt-and-suspenders in case a CloseSocket is missed.

We use select in ConnectSocketDirectly, so this check needs to happen before
that.
IsSelectableSocket will not be relevant after upcoming changes to remove select.

a720b92 Remove includes in .cpp files for things the corresponding .h file already included (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Remove includes in .cpp files for things the corresponding .h file already included.
Example case:
* `addrdb.cpp` includes `addrdb.h` and `fs.h`
* `addrdb.h` includes `fs.h`
Then remove the direct inclusion of `fs.h` in `addrman.cpp` and rely on the indirect inclusion of `fs.h` via the included `addrdb.h`.
In line with the header include guideline (see #10575).

Pull request description:
CChainState should eventually, essentially, be our exposed "libconsensus", but we're probably a few releases away, so the real goal is to clarify our internal interfaces. The main split was a big step, but validation.cpp is still a somewhat ranomly-mixed bag of functions that are pure functions which validate inputs (which should probably either merge with their callers or move into another file in consensus/), read/write data from disk, manipulate our current chain state (which moves into CChainState), and do mempool transaction validation.
Obviously this is only a small step, but some effort is made to clean up what functions the functions in CChainState call, and obviously as things are added its easy to keep clear "CChainState::* cannot call anything except via callbacks through CValidationInterface, pure functions, or disk read/write things". Right now there are some glaring violations in mempool callbacks, and general flushing logic needs cleaning up (FlushStateToDisk maybe shouldnt be called, and there should be an API towards setDirtyBlockIndex, but I'll leave that for after @sipa's current changesets land).

01013f5 Simplify tx validation tests (Pieter Wuille)
2dd6f80 Add a test that all flags are softforks (Pieter Wuille)
2851b77 Make all script verification flags softforks (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This change makes `SCRIPT_VERIFY_UPGRADABLE_NOPS` not apply to `OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY` and `OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY`. This is a no-op as `UPGRADABLE_NOPS` is only set for mempool transactions, and those always have `SCRIPT_VERIFY_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY` and `SCRIPT_VERIFY_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY` set as well. The advantage is that setting more flags now always results in a reduction in acceptable scripts (=softfork).
This results in a nice and testable property for validation, for which a new test is added.
This also means that the introduction of a new definition for a NOP or witness version will likely need the following procedure (example OP_NOP8 here)
* Remove OP_NOP8 from being affected by `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DISCOURAGE_UPGRADABLE_NOPS`.
* Add a `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DISCOURAGE_NOP8`, which only applies to `OP_NOP8`.
* Add a `SCRIPT_VERIFY_NOP8` which implements the new consensus logic.
* Before activation, add `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DISCOURAGE_NOP8` to the mempool flags.
* After activation, add `SCRIPT_VERIFY_NOP8` to both the mempool and consensus flags.

If a custom data directory is specified using `-datadir` argument, its existence is checked before the conf file is loaded. But if the conf file then specifies a different non-existent `datadir`, that isn't tested, and results in esoteric errors like:

This just adds a check for the datadir existence at the end of `ReadConfigFile()`

Pull request description:
[Reviewer hint: use [?w=1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10275/files?w=1) to avoid seeing a bunch of indentation changes.]
Presuming a user knows the block hash of the block containing a given transaction, this PR allows them to fetch the raw transaction, even without `-txindex`. It also enables support for getting transactions that are in orphaned blocks.
Note that supplying a block hash will override mempool and txindex support in `GetTransaction`. The rationale behind this is that a transaction may be in multiple places (orphaned blocks) and if the user supplies an explicit block hash it should be adhered to.
```Bash
$ # a41.. is a tx inside an orphan block ..3c6f.. -- first try getting it normally
$ ./bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction a41e66ee1341aa9fb9475b98cfdc1fe1261faa56c0a49254f33065ec90f7cd79 1

This patch adds an option to configure the name and/or directory of the debug log file.
The user can specify either a relative path, in which case the path is relative to the (network specific) data directory. They can also specify an absolute path to put the log anywhere else in the file system.
Alternative to #11741 that gets rid of the concept of a "log directory" by specifying the path for the specific kind of log, the debug log. Which happens to be the only kind of log we have at this point*, but a hypothetical new kind of log (say, an audit log) would get a new option. This has more flexibility than specifying a directory which has to contain all of them.
\* excluding `db.log` which is internally generated by the wallet database library, but that one moves along with `-walletdir`.

Pull request description:
Make the non-const overload of `CBlockIndex::GetAncestor()` reuse the const overload implementation instead of the other way around. This way, the constness of the const overload implementation is guaranteed. The other way around, it was possible to implement the non-const overload in a way which mutates the object, and since that implementation would be called even for const objects (due to the reuse), we would get undefined behavior.

9d811dc Document partial validation in ConnectBlock() (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
`ConnectBlock()` relies on validation that happens in `ContextualCheckBlock()` and
`ContextualCheckBlockHeader()`. This has implications for implementing consensus
changes and handling software upgrade to ensure that nodes upgrading their
software end up enforcing all the consensus rules.

PR #10286 introduced a few steps which are not robust to early shutdown
in initialization.
Stumbled upon this with #11781, not sure if there are other scenarios
that can trigger it, but it's harden against this in any case.
abbd230 Move RPC registration out of AppInitParameterInteraction (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
Move to AppInitServers. This doesn't have any effects on bitcoin behavior. It was just strange to have this unrelated code in the middle of parameter interaction.

blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.

65e91f5ed [tests] Test that mempool rejects coinbase transactions (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Neither the unit nor functional tests appear to cover rejecting a transaction from acceptance to the mempool on the basis of it being a coinbase. Seems like a decent thing to have a test for.

ConnectBlock() relies on validation that happens in ContextualCheckBlock() and
ContextualCheckBlockHeader(). This has implications for implementing consensus
changes and handling software upgrade to ensure that nodes upgrading their
software end up enforcing all the consensus rules.
A) The changes in behavior are as follows:
1. Introduce logging category "none" as alias of "0" for
both RPC-logging and bitcoind "-debug" parameter.
2. Same as "0" is given to argument of "-debug",
if "none" or "0" is given to <include>, all other given logging
categories are ignored. The same is true for <exclude>.
(Before this PR, "0" was accepted but just be ignored itself.)
B) The changes in the help text are as follows:
1. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of <include> and
<exclude> to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
2. Delete text that describe restriction about libevent because
it's already allowed libevent logging to be updated during runtime.
3. Add a description for category "all", "1", "none" and "0".
4. Add "optional" to the help text of <include> and <exclude>.
5. Add missing new lines before "Argument:".
6. This RPC always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.
c3055bb Add help-console command to Qt debug console (Luke Mlsna)
Pull request description:
This PR would close issue #9195 by adding documentation for the debug console features (mainly nested commands) which were added in [PR #7783](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7783).
The following changes were made to QT debug console code:
- Added a line to the initial message text at the top of the debug console:
> For more information on using this console type **help-console**.
- Added a pseudo-command `help-console` which is hooked after parsing the request, but before actually executing the RPC thread. It prints the following text to the console as if it were a valid RPC response.
> This console accepts RPC commands using the standard syntax.
> example: getblockhash 8
> This console can also accept RPC commands using bracketed syntax.
> example: getblockhash(8)
> A space or a comma can be used to separate arguments for either syntax.
> example: sendtoaddress \<address\> \<amount\>
> sendtoaddress,\<address\>,\<amount\>
> Commands may be nested when specified with the bracketed syntax.
> example: getblockinfo(getblockhash(0),true).
> Result values can be queried with a non-quoted string in brackets.
> example: getblock(getblockhash(0) true)[height]
This seemed like a reasonably sane way to introduce a fake RPC help command, but
