Tests for the case where a chain backend skips a series of blocks, such that the notifier's best block is out of date. Also tests the case where a notifier's best block has been reorged out of the chain.
This tests the case where a client registers for block notifications with an outdated best block, to ensure that the client is properly caught up on the blocks that it has missed.
Switches all ChainNotifier parameters to be TestChainNotifiers. This allows access to the extra testing methods provided by the TestChainNotifier interface.
TestChainNotifier wraps the ChainNotifier interface to allow adding additional testing methods with access to private fields in the notifiers. These testing methods are only compiled when the build tag "debug" is set. UnsafeStart allows starting a notifier with a specified best block.
UnsafeStart is useful for the purpose of testing cases where a notifier's best block is out of date when it receives a new block.
In this commit, we thread through a link's quit channel into
routeAsync, the primary helper method allowing links to send
htlcPackets through the switch. This is intended to remove
deadlocks from happening, where the link is synchronously
blocking on forwarding packets to the switch, but also
needs to shutdown.
This commit adds a test that verifies Stop does not block
if the link is concurrently forwarding incoming Adds to
the switch. This test fails prior to the commits that
thread through the link's quit channel.
This resolves the situation where a notifier's chain backend skips a series of blocks, causing the notifier to need to dispatch historical block notifications to clients.
Additionally, if the current notifier's best block has been reorged out, this logic enables the notifier to rewind to the common ancestor between the current chain and the outdated best block and dispatches notifications from the ancestor.
This prevents the situation where we notify clients about a newly connected block, and then the block connection itself fails. We also want to set our best block in between connecting the block and notifying clients, in case a client makes queries about the new block they have received.
If the chain backend misses telling the notifier about a series of disconnected blocks, the notifier is now able to disconnect the tip to its new best block.
If a client passes in their best known block when registering for block notifications, check to see if it's behind our best block. If so, dispatch the missed block notifications to the client.
This is necessary because clients that persist their best known block can miss new blocks while registering for notifications.
Clients can optionally pass their best block known into RegisterBlockEpochNtfn. This enables the notifiers to catch up clients on blocks they may have missed.
In this commit, we fix a bug recently introduced where we would
construct the parameters required to connect to a bitcoind backend, but
never actually started the connection.
In this commit, we add a new method to the ChannelEdgeInfo that will
allow the path finding logic to get the node opposite the pivot node
without first creating a new db transaction. The new method is able to
use an existing db transaction, or create a new one if needed.
The commit ensures that for every channel, there will always
be two entries in the edges bucket. If the policy from one or
both ends of the channel is unknown, it is marked as such.
This allows efficient lookup of incoming edges. This is
required for backwards payment path finding.
