* Move go test wrapper for block tests from cmd/geth to tests
* Fix logic for when tests are valid or not, by adding correct
validations for expected valid/invalid blocks
* Change block insertion helper to work on single blocks
* Add one test case for each file in BlockTests and comment out
the tests which are currently failing
* Add Skip call in all block tests in lieu of performance fixes
around ethash cache which are needed before it will be fast enough
to start / stop the node between each test
* Add fixes to parsing and converting of fields in tx tests
* Correct logic in tx tests; validation of fields and correct
logic for when RLP decoding works/fails and when this is
expected or not
* Rename files for consistency
* Add block tests wrapper to run block tests with go test
This commit also changes the block test loading so tests containing
invalid RLP blocks can be loaded and return an error only when they are
run.
(cherry picked from commit 898ba87984791249586b97c9ce340dd087b79d67)
Many people need or want to build go-ethereum from the git repository,
mostly to stay up to date with recent changes. We cannot expect that
people without Go experience grok the Go workspace concept.
With the Makefile, building from github requires only
three steps (provided that a Go toolchain is installed):
- git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
- ... install C libraries (libgmp, etc.) ...
- make
If all peers have been tried during the block download process and some
hashes are unfetchable (available peers > 0 and fetching == 0) throw an
error so the process can be aborted.
* Downloader's peers keeps track of peer's previously requested hashes
so that we don't have to re-request
* Changed `AddBlock` to be fully synchronous
