This commit fixes the module-level docstrings for the tests and helper
modules in qa. Many of these tests were uncommented previously - this
commit ensures that every test case has at least a minimum level of
commenting.
037159c Remove block-request logic from INV message processing (Matt Corallo)
3451203 [qa] Respond to getheaders and do not assume a getdata on inv (Matt Corallo)
d768f15 [qa] Make comptool push blocks instead of relying on inv-fetch (mrbandrews)
Change check_announcement_of_new_block() to wait specifically for the
announcement of the newly created block, instead of waiting for any
announcement at all. A difficult to reproduce failure in
check_announcement_of_new_block() that happened in a travis build
(https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin/bitcoin/jobs/175198367) might have happened
because an older announcement was mistaken for the expected one. The error
looked like:

dac53b5 Modify getblocktxn handler not to drop requests for old blocks (Russell Yanofsky)
55bfddc [qa] Fix stale data bug in test_compactblocks_not_at_tip (Russell Yanofsky)
47e9659 [qa] Fix bug in compactblocks v2 merge (Russell Yanofsky)
The current getblocktxn implementation drops and ignores requests for old
blocks, which causes occasional sync_block timeouts during the
p2p-compactblocks.py test as reported in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/8842.
The p2p-compactblocks.py test setup creates many new blocks in a short
period of time, which can lead to getblocktxn requests for blocks below the
hardcoded depth limit of 10 blocks. This commit changes the getblocktxn
handler not to ignore these requests, so the peer nodes in the test setup
will reliably be able to sync.
The protocol change is documented in BIP-152 update "Allow block responses
to getblocktxn requests" at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/469.
The protocol change is not expected to affect nodes running outside the test
environment, because there shouldn't normally be lots of new blocks being
rapidly added that need to be synced.
Clear test_node.last_block before requesting blocks in the
compactblocks_not_at_tip test so comparisons won't fail if a blocks were received
before the test started.
The bug doesn't currently cause any problems due to the order tests run, but
this will change in the next commit.
Bug caused the wait_for_block_announcement to be called on the wrong node,
leading to nondeterminism and occasional test failures. Bug was introduced in
merge commit:
d075479 Merge #8882: [qa] Fix race conditions in p2p-compactblocks.py and sendheaders.py
Underlying commits which conflicted were:
27acfc1 [qa] Update p2p-compactblocks.py for compactblocks v2
6976db2 [qa] Another attempt to fix race condition in p2p-compactblocks.py
The first commit changed the test_compactblock_construction function signature
and second commit added code which wasn't updated during the merge to use the
new arguments.
Suhas Daftuar <sdaftuar@chaincode.com> noticed the bug and suggested the fix.
sync_with_ping() only guarantees that the node has processed messages
it's received from the peer, not that block announcements from the node have
made it back to the peer. Replace sync_with_ping() with an explicit check that
the node's tip has been announced.
Python lambda use was incorrect.
sendcmpct messages need to be synchronized with RPC calls to generate().
Headers need to be synced (eg with getheaders) for cmpctblock announcements
to start.
Last test omitted sending a sendcmpct message.
