+"""Test the abandontransaction RPC.
+
+ The abandontransaction RPC marks a transaction and all its in-wallet
+ descendants as abandoned which allows their inputs to be respent. It can be
+ used to replace "stuck" or evicted transactions. It only works on transactions
+ which are not included in a block and are not currently in the mempool. It has
+ no effect on transactions which are already conflicted or abandoned.
