This commit makes the autopilot agent use the new NodeScores heuristic
API to select channel candiates, instead of the Select API. The result
will be similar, but instead of selecting a set of nodes to open
channels to, we get a score based results which can later be used
together with other heuristics to choose nodes to open channels to.
This commit also makes the existing autopilot agent tests compatible
with the new NodeScores API.
This commit adds a new method NodeScores to the AttachementHeuristic
interface. Its intended use is to score a set of nodes according to
their preference as channel counterparties.
The PrefAttach heuristic gets a NodeScores method that will score the
ndoes according to their number of already existing channels, similar to
what is done already in Select.
This commit defines a new struct HeuristicConstraints that will be used
to keep track of the initial constraints the autopilot agent needs to
adhere to. This is currently done in the ConstrainedPrefAttachement
heuristic itself, but this lets us share these constraints and common
method netween several heuristics.
Instead return ErrGraphNodeNotFound directly. If the node bucket was
created it would be empty, and the call delChannelByEdge ->
fetchChanEdgePolicies -> fetchChanEdgePolicy ->
deserializeChanEdgePolicy -> fetchLightningNode would return this error
anyway.
In this commit we introduce pruning of channel edges instead of channels.
Channel failures apply to a single direction and it is unnecessarily
restricting to prune both directions.
Hop maps were used in a test to verify the population of the hop map
itself and further only in a single function (getFailedChannelID).
Rewrote that function and removed the hop maps completely.
There is the general assumption that channel edge policy nodes are
ordered such that the node1 pubkey is smaller than the key of node 2. In
the test graph, this assumption didn't hold. This commit fixes the test
graph and also adds a check to prevent this from happening again.
This commit adds a new test that checks that the bandwidth hints are
considered correclty for local channels, and that disable flags are
ignored in this case.
To decouple our own path finding from the graph state, we don't consider
the disable bit when attempting to use local channels. Instead the
bandwidth hints will be zero for local inactive channels.
We alos modify the unit test to check that the disable flag is ignored
for local edges.
A recent commit modified the `IsNodeStale` method in the mocks to mirror
the actual implementation in the gossiper. As a result, we now expect
one less node announcement to be broadcast.
Per team decision all tests should run with "debug" flag.
Makefile updated accordingly.
A developer may still run the test from command line by "go test ...."
The commit protects against this and issue an error if needed.
