41ba061 [docs] Add release notes for wallet 'label' API. (John Newbery)
189e0ef [wallet] [rpc] introduce 'label' API for wallet (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Add label API to wallet RPC.
This is one step towards #3816 ("Remove bolt-on account system") although it doesn't
actually remove anything yet.
These initially mirror the account functions, with the following differences:
- These functions aren't DEPRECATED in the help
- Help mentions 'label' instead of accounts. In the language used, labels are
associated with addresses, instead of addresses associated with labels. (unlike
with accounts.)
- Labels have no balance
- No balances in `listlabels`
- `listlabels` has no minconf or watchonly argument
- Like in the GUI, labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addreses
- Unlike accounts, labels can be deleted.
Being unable to delete them is a common annoyance (see #1231).
Currently only by reassigning all addresses using `setlabel`, but an explicit
call `deletelabel` which assigns all address to the default label may make
sense.

f526046 adapt bumpfee change discard test to be more strict and add note on p2sh discrep (Gregory Sanders)
5805d6f feebumper: discard change outputs below discard rate (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
The "discard rate" is the concept we use to ensure the wallet isnt creating not so useful just-above-relay dust.
Outside of bumpfee previous to this PR, and manually creating such an output, the wallet will never make change outputs of that size, preferring to send them to fees instead.
"Worst case" for the user is that users pay a slightly higher feerate than they were expecting, which is already a possibility with relay dust.

75d0e4c544 [qa] Delete cookie file before starting node (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
When a node is restarted during a test after an unclean shutdown (such
as with -dbcrashratio), it's possible an old cookie file was left
behind. This can cause a race condition when restarting the node, where
the test framework might try to connect using credentials from the
old cookie file, just as the node will generate new credentials and
overwrite the old file.
Delete any such cookie file if present prior to startup.

fab9095d40 qa: Windows fixups for functional tests (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Just two minor fixups to have less errors when the tests run on native windows.
* Strip whitespace from lines when reading from a notification file
* Instead of clumsily creating a file with weird permissions, just create a folder for the same effect in `mempool_persist.py`
Tree-SHA512: 48a8b439f14ab9b44c5cd228cd03105e8613e703e3c2951cdf724931bc95172a9ad9bfe69fc23e73dd91b058c1352263c0ac6e8de2ceb0ebf804c8ff52bba394
If a cookie file exists in a datadir prior to node startup, it must have
been leftover from a prior unclean shutdown. As bitcoind will overwrite
it anyway, delete it before starting up to prevent the test framework
from inadvertently trying to connect using stale credentials.

Pull request description:
Builds on #11772, #11773 and #11817. Please review those PRs first.
Final step in #10603.
- First commit removes bip9-softforks.py. bip9-sofforks.py was intended to be a generic test for versionbits deployments. However, it only tests CSV activation and was not updated to test segwit activation. CSV activation is tested by bip68-112-113-p2p.py, so this test is duplicated effort. Rather than try to update it to use the BitcoinTestFramework, just remove it. (see https://github.com/btcdrak/bitcoin/pull/8 for previous discussion around the redundancy of bip9-softforks.py)
- Second commit removes the now unused BitcoinComparisonFramework class and the comptool and blockstore modules.

b55555d rpc: Add testmempoolaccept (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
To check if a single raw transaction makes it into the current transaction pool, one had to call `sendrawtransaction`. However, on success, this adds the transaction to the mempool with no easy way to undo.
The call `testmempoolaccept` is introduced to provide a way to solely check the result without changing the mempool state.

Prompted by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10762#commitcomment-28345993, which is a nullpointer dereference triggered by starting bitcoin-qt with `-h`.
On master, this test passes when run over bitcoind, but fails when running over bitcoin-qt. I used xvfb as a virtual frame buffer to test:

Pull request description:
Since the actual block files taking up more and more space, it may be desirable to have them stored in a different location then the data directory (use case: SSD for chainstate, etc., HD for blocks).
This PR adds a `-blocksdir` option that allows one to keep the blockfiles and the blockindex external from the data directory (instead of creating symlinks).
I fist had an option to keep the blockindex within the datadir, but seems to make no sense since accessing the index will (always) lead to access (r/w) the block files.

d2527bd Rename wallet_accounts.py test (Russell Yanofsky)
045eeb8 Rename account to label where appropriate (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
Rename account to label where appropriate
This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the implementation of address labels in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the way and letting that change focus on semantics.
The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions (transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.

Pull request description:
Commit c53c9831ee introduced the utility function `get_datadir_path`, however not all places in the code use this util function. Using the util function everywhere makes it easier to review pull requests related to the datadir.
This commit replaces datadir path creation with the `datadir` member of `TestNode`, which itself uses `get_datadir_path`.

Pull request description:
Remove unused argument `max_invalid` from `check_estimates(...)`.
_Note to reviewers:_ Let me know if `check_estimates(...)` is incomplete and should be fixed instead.

728667b771 scripted-diff: rename TestNode to TestP2PConn in tests (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Several test scripts define a subclass of P2PInterface called TestNode.
This commit renames those to TestP2PConn since we already have a
TestNode class in the test framework.

de04fde bitcoin-cli: Provide a better error message when bitcoind is not running (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Provide a better `bitcoin-cli` error message when `bitcoind` is not running.
Before this patch:
```
$ killall -9 bitcoind
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world'
error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and RPC password is not set. See -rpcpassword and -stdinrpcpass. Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)
```
After this patch:
```
$ killall -9 bitcoind
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world'
error: Could not connect to the server 127.0.0.1:18332
Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.
```

Pull request description:
This is prompted by and builds on #12545, a nice cleanup / consolidation of patterns.
In cases where the exception message was meaningful, I tried to represent it as well in a comment.
I expect #12545 will go in first, but I'm happy to squash them if that's preferred.

This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the
implementation of address labels in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the
way and letting it focus on semantics.
The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to
addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions
(transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts
with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.
- move all helper methods to the end
- remove block, create_tx and create_and_sign_tx shortcuts
- remove --runbarelyexpensive option, since it defaults to True and it's
unlikely that anyone ever runs the test with this option set to false.
f98b54352 Only call NotifyBlockTip when the active chain changes (James O'Beirne)
152b7fb25 [tests] Add a (failing) test for waitforblockheight (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
This is a subset of the more controversial https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12407, but this also adds a test demonstrating the bug.
In InvalidateBlock, we're calling NotifyBlockTip with the now-invalid block's prev regardless of what chain the ancestor block is on. This could create numerous issues, but it at least screws up `waitforblockheight` (or anything else relying on `rpc/blockchain.cpp:latestblock`) when InvalidateBlock is called on a block not in chainActive, which can happen via RPC.
Only call NotifyBlockTip when the block being marked invalid is on the active chain.
