2018-03-09bitcoin-cli: Provide a better error message when bitcoind is not runningpracticalswift
Before this patch: ``` $ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world' error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and RPC password is not set. See -rpcpassword and -stdinrpcpass. Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf) ``` After this patch: ``` $ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world' error: Could not connect to the server 127.0.0.1:18332 Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port. ```
2018-03-03Create new wallet databases as directories rather than filesRussell Yanofsky
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly, instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log directory (for incompletely flushed wallets). Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of data from all wallets in the environment.
2018-03-03Allow wallet files not in -walletdir directoryRussell Yanofsky
Remove restriction that -wallet filenames can only refer to files in the -walletdir directory.
2018-02-06Merge #12050: [trivial] Implements a virtual destructor on the ↵Wladimir J. van der Laan
BaseRequestHandler class. bdb3231 Implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class. (251) Pull request description: Granted that there is no undefined behavior in the current implementation, this PR implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in the event that an object of a potential future derived BaseRequestHandler class with a destructor is destroyed through a pointer to this base class. This PR also fixes "_warning: delete called on 'BaseRequestHandler' that is abstract but has non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor]_" warnings in environments where the project is built with the `-Wsystem-headers` flag; or environments where the `-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor` diagnostics flag fires from system headers. Tree-SHA512: 3c3b0797a8dbce8d8c5b244709e8bca41c4e28d5ba554a974bf7fc9128413e1098c457a00e51b21154ce6c11ce5da3071626e71d593b2550d0020bc589406eed
2018-02-05Clarify help messages for path args to mention datadir prefixJames O'Beirne
Change `-conf`'s and others' help messages to indicate that relative path values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior is confusing when attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with `-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin datadir.

Implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in the event that a derived BaseRequestHandler class has a destructor and an object of such derived class is destroyed through a pointer to its base class.
2017-11-17cli: Reject arguments to -getinfoWladimir J. van der Laan
Currently it's possible to accidentally type e.g. bitcoin-cli -getinfo getbalance and get an answer which can be confusing; the trialing arguments are just ignored. To avoid this, throw an error if the user provides arguments to `-getinfo`.

2017-09-27rpc: Handle `getinfo` locally in bitcoin-cli w/ `-getinfo`Wladimir J. van der Laan
This adds the infrastructure `BaseRequestHandler` class that takes care of converting bitcoin-cli arguments into a JSON-RPC request object, and converting the reply into a JSON object that can be shown as result. This is subsequently used to handle the `-getinfo` option, which sends a JSON-RPC batch request to the RPC server with `["getnetworkinfo", "getblockchaininfo", "getwalletinfo"]`, and after reply combines the result into what looks like a `getinfo` result. There have been some requests for a client-side `getinfo` and this is my PoC of how to do it. If this is considered a good idea some of the logic could be moved up to rpcclient.cpp and used in the GUI console as well. Extra-Author: Andrew Chow <achow101@gmail.com>

2017-07-26Fix misleading "Method not found" multiwallet errorsRussell Yanofsky
Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call. Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.

2016-12-02bitcoin-cli: Make error message less confusingWladimir J. van der Laan
Sorry for the churn on this, but the current message (introduced in #9073) isn't acceptable: $ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo rpc: couldn't connect to server (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port: -1 unknown) Putting the error code after the words "RPC port" made me wonder whether there was a port configuration issue. This changes it to: $ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
