From ef362f27733e9281062b4e65a26e5696f34692b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 10:14:28 +0100 Subject: rpc/gui: Remove 'Unknown block versions being mined' warning Due to miners inserting garbage into the version numbers, the current version signalling has become completely useless. This removes the "unknown block versions" warning which has the tendency to scare users unnecessarily (and might get them to "update" to something bad). It preserves the warning in the logs. Whether this is desirable can be a point of discussion. --- test/functional/feature_notifications.py | 18 +----------------- test/functional/feature_versionbits_warning.py | 6 ------ 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 23 deletions(-) (limited to 'test') diff --git a/test/functional/feature_notifications.py b/test/functional/feature_notifications.py index d8083b2840..b98dd6d26c 100755 --- a/test/functional/feature_notifications.py +++ b/test/functional/feature_notifications.py @@ -66,23 +66,7 @@ class NotificationsTest(BitcoinTestFramework): txids_rpc = list(map(lambda t: t['txid'], self.nodes[1].listtransactions("*", block_count))) assert_equal(sorted(txids_rpc), sorted(os.listdir(self.walletnotify_dir))) - # Mine another 41 up-version blocks. -alertnotify should trigger on the 51st. - self.log.info("test -alertnotify") - self.nodes[1].generatetoaddress(41, ADDRESS_BCRT1_UNSPENDABLE) - self.sync_all() - - # Give bitcoind 10 seconds to write the alert notification - wait_until(lambda: len(os.listdir(self.alertnotify_dir)), timeout=10) - - for notify_file in os.listdir(self.alertnotify_dir): - os.remove(os.path.join(self.alertnotify_dir, notify_file)) - - # Mine more up-version blocks, should not get more alerts: - self.nodes[1].generatetoaddress(2, ADDRESS_BCRT1_UNSPENDABLE) - self.sync_all() - - self.log.info("-alertnotify should not continue notifying for more unknown version blocks") - assert_equal(len(os.listdir(self.alertnotify_dir)), 0) + # TODO: add test for `-alertnotify` large fork notifications if __name__ == '__main__': NotificationsTest().main() diff --git a/test/functional/feature_versionbits_warning.py b/test/functional/feature_versionbits_warning.py index 88df61cabc..1ced618d47 100755 --- a/test/functional/feature_versionbits_warning.py +++ b/test/functional/feature_versionbits_warning.py @@ -22,7 +22,6 @@ VB_TOP_BITS = 0x20000000 VB_UNKNOWN_BIT = 27 # Choose a bit unassigned to any deployment VB_UNKNOWN_VERSION = VB_TOP_BITS | (1 << VB_UNKNOWN_BIT) -WARN_UNKNOWN_RULES_MINED = "Unknown block versions being mined!
