This commit adds some new networkHarness helper methods which are
mean’t to reduce the verbosity of the previous basic tests, and also to
enable developers to right tests mote easily five a higher level
interface.
This commit increases the robustness of the current test and also
reduces it’s running time considerably as all “time.Sleep”s have now
been removed.
Rather than sleeping some random amount of time, the test now waits for
a particular async notification to be dispatched before proceeding.
This tightens up the execution of the tests quite a bit.
This commit adds a new feature to the network harness enabling callers
to receive async notifications once a particular transaction is seen on
the network. Such a feature is useful when due to the asynchronous
behavior of node communications.
With this new feature, tests can now wait for a particular transaction
to be seen within the network before proceeding.
This commit fixes the build for version 1.6.3 of golang. In go 1.7, the
“context” package was moved into the standard library, however go 1.6.3
doesn’t have that change, so we must refer to the prior WIP package
until a new version of Go is released.
