In some cases the router isn't yet fully aware of all newly opened
channels. We need to give it some time to process the updates. Therefore
we add a wait for sending payments to give it a few more changes to
catch up.
This fixes itest flakes that happen when a payment is attempted that
ends up causing a channel closure.
completePaymentRequests() attempts to monitor the open channels after a
payment is attempted in order to identify that payment was actually
dispatched to a remote node before returning.
However, when the payment actually causes a channel closure (for
example, because the receiver sent an incorrect preimage) this logic
fails in that the channel will no longer the found in the list of open
channels. This could cause a flake when there was enough time for the
channel to close before performing the check.
One example of such a flaky test is failing_link.
This fixes the issue by also checking whether the total number of
channels was reduced, which indicates (assuming itest operations are
being executed serially) that one of the attempted payments affected at
least one channel.
This ensures the Carol and Dave nodes created in the single_hop series
of tests are synced to the latest chain tip generated by the miner
before creating the route that will eventually be used for payments.
This prevents a flake during CI tests where slow processing of blocks by
Carol could cause the generated route to have a final CLTV delta too
short for Dave to accept.
While at it, we switch the test to use the default CLTV delta provided
by QueryRoutes which is now the global default CLTV.
We add a GitHub action to our workflow that makes sure all command line
flags of lnd that are available with the default build tags are
contained in the sample-lnd.conf file.
Because we'll add a check that enforces all command line flags that are
available with the default build tags to also be contained in the
sample-lnd.conf file, we first add all that currently are missing.
We create a new build flag for running the bitcoind tests without the
txindex enabled. We don't want this to be the default so we use a
negated build flag.
When running the make DEPGET target for the go-fuzz binaries, this entry
is auto added, even though we don't have a direct reference to it in our
code. Not sure why this is needed in the first place.
Because the bitcoind mirror is extremely slow, we spend at least 2 to 3
minutes of each bitcoind related test on just downloading the binary. We
can achieve the same result by just pulling the docker image and
extracting the binary from that.
We rename the field Capacity on local channels to Balance, define a new
method ChannelInfo on the manager config that let us query the database
for our latest channels state. Using this we will use the current local
balance instead of the channel capacity when doing allocation
calculations.
