fae7b14a04 qa: Make TestNodeCLI command optional in send_cli (MarcoFalke)
ffffb10a9f qa: Rename cli.args to cli.options (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Makes the `command` optional, since there are valid bitcoin-cli calls that have no `command`:
* `bitcoin-cli -?`
* `bitcoin-cli -getinfo`
* ...
Also, rename self.args to self.options, since that is the name in the `bitcoin-cli -help` documentation.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.
test_framework accepts a new --usecli parameter. Running the test with
this parameter will cause all RPCs to be sent through bitcoin-cli rather
than directly over http. By default, individual test cases do not
support --usecli, and self.supports_cli must be set to True in the
set_test_params method.
We can make supports_cli default to True in future once we know which
tests will fail with use_cli.
Change TestNodeCLI.__call__() to return a new instance instead of modifying the
existing instance. This way, it's possible to create different cli objects that
have their own options (for example -rpcwallet options to connect to different
wallets), and options set for a single call (`node.cli(options).method(args)`)
will no longer leak into future calls.
This makes NodeConnCB a subclass of NodeConn, and
removes the need for the client code to know
anything about the implementation details of NodeConnCB.
NodeConn can now be swapped out for any other implementation
of a low-level connection without changing client code.
fafdad0d4 qa: Remove unused NodeConn members (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
* `ver_send` and `ver_recv` were completely unused
* `rpc` was only used once, in p2p-segwit. Imo better only pass it to the constructor in that single test

p2p connections can now be added to TestNode instances.
This commit also updates the example test to use the new
p2p interface in TestNode to demonstrate usage.
A future commit will update the existing tests to use p2p through the
TestNode.

Pull request description:
Some additional tidyups after the introduction of TestNode:
- commit 1 makes TestNode use the correct rpc timeout. This should have been included in #11077
- commit 2 separates `add_node()` from `start_node()` as originally discussed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10556#discussion_r121161453 with @kallewoof . The test writer no longer needs to assign to `self.nodes` when starting/stopping nodes.
- commit 3 adds a `set_test_params()` method, so individual tests don't need to override `__init__()` and call `super().__init__()`

Separates the act of creating a TestNode object from starting the node.
The test_framework now keeps track of its list of TestNodes, and test
writers can call start_node() and stop_node() without having to update
the self.nodes list.
c6ec4358a [tests] Add bitcoin_cli.py test script (John Newbery)
b23549f6e [tests] add TestNodeCLI class for calling bitcoin-cli for a node (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
We don't test bitcoin-cli at all. That means that we can miss inconsistencies between the bitcoin-cli client and the RPC interface, such as #10698 and #10747. It also means that the various bitcoin-cli options and features are untested and regressions could be silently introduced.
Let's fix that.
This PR adds bitcoin-cli testing in the python functional test_framework:
1. Add a bitcoin_cli.py test script that tests bitcoin-cli. At the moment it only tests that the result of `getinfo` is the same if you run it as an RPC or through bitcoin-cli, but can easily be extended to test additional bitcoin-cli features
**EDIT: `--usecli` option is moved to a separate PR. This PR now only covers the bitcoin_cli.py test.**
2. ~Add a `--usecli` option to the test framework. This changes the test to use bitcoin-cli for all RPC calls instead of using direct HTTP requests. This is somewhat experimental. It works for most tests, but there are some cases where it can't work transparently because:~
- ~the testcase is asserting on a specific error code, and bitcoin-cli returns a different error code from the direct RPC~
- ~we're sending a very large RPC request (eg `submitblock`) and it can't be serialized into a shell bitcoin-cli call.~
~I think that even though `--usecli` doesn't work on all tests, it's still a useful experimental feature. Future potential enhancements:~
- ~enhance the framework to automatically skip tests that are known to fail with bitcoin-cli if the `--usecli` option is used.~
- ~run a subset of tests in Travis with `-usecli`~
This builds on and requires the `TestNode` PR #10711 . As an aside, this is a good demonstration of how tidy it is to add additional features/interfaces now that test node logic/state is encapsulated in a TestNode class.
Addresses #10791

Fixes a couple of bugs from the introduction of TestNode:
- test scripts were no longer able to specify a custom timeout for
starting a node. Therefore tests with nodes that take a long time to
start up (eg pruning.py) would fail.
- the test for whether a node has failed on start up was broken
by changing 'assert x is None' to 'assert not x'. Since
subprocess.poll() can return None (indicating the node is still running)
or 0 (indicating the node exited with return code 0), this was a
regression.
When running the tests locally with a parallelism of 4 on an otherwise
busy system, RPC can take quite a wait to come up.
Change the timeout to 60 seconds just to be safe.
TestNode is a class responsible for all state related to a bitcoind node
under test. It stores local state, is responsible for tracking the
bitcoind process and delegates unrecognised messages to the RPC
connection.
This commit changes start_nodes and stop_nodes to start and stop the
bitcoind nodes in parallel, making test setup and teardown much faster.
