Tests are now included as a submodule. This should make updating easier
and removes ~60MB of JSON data from the working copy.
State tests are replaced by General State Tests, which run the same test
with multiple fork configurations.
With the new test runner, consensus tests are run as subtests by walking
json files. Many hex issues have been fixed upstream since the last
update and most custom parsing code is replaced by existing JSON hex
types. Tests can now be marked as 'expected failures', ensuring that
fixes for those tests will trigger an update to test configuration. The
new test runner also supports parallel execution and the -short flag.
This commit adds a build step to travis to auto-delete unstable archives older than
14 days (our regular release schedule) from Azure via ci.go purge.
The commit also pulls in the latest Azure storage code, also switching over from
the old import path (github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go) to the new split one
(github.com/Azure/azure-storage-go).
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
We have decided to bump the requirement to Go 1.7 because it enables
subtests and allows dropping backwards-compatibility code. This is in
line with Go's support policy. Go 1.6 and earlier no longer receive
security updates.
The Android NDK was recently removed from gomobile, leading to our Android
builds failing. Starting from https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/35173/ ,
gomobile requires a locally installed NDK. This PR ensures that travis installs
that too before running the build steps.
NSIS has a default MAX_STR_LEN of 1024. If $ENV{PATH} is longer
the returned string is truncated to an empty string. Its then not
possible to distinguis between the variable not set or too long.
As a result the variable is set with the location where geth and/or
dev tools are installed. This may override any previous set values.
* build: modify the iOS namespace to iGeth (gomobile limitation)
* mobile: assign names to return types for ObjC wrapper
* mobile: use more expanded names for iOS/Swift API
ci.go decides whether a build is unstable by looking at the branch and
tag. This causes issues when a GitHub release is created on the master
branch because the build is considered unstable (the CI environment
reports the branch as "master").
Fix this by looking at the tag only. Any tagged build is stable.
This commit converts the dependency management from Godeps to the vendor
folder, also switching the tool from godep to trash. Since the upstream tool
lacks a few features proposed via a few PRs, until those PRs are merged in
(if), use github.com/karalabe/trash.
You can update dependencies via trash --update.
All dependencies have been updated to their latest version.
Parts of the build system are reworked to drop old notions of Godeps and
invocation of the go vet command so that it doesn't run against the vendor
folder, as that will just blow up during vetting.
The conversion drops OpenCL (and hence GPU mining support) from ethash and our
codebase. The short reasoning is that there's noone to maintain and having
opencl libs in our deps messes up builds as go install ./... tries to build
them, failing with unsatisfied link errors for the C OpenCL deps.
golang.org/x/net/context is not vendored in. We expect it to be fetched by the
user (i.e. using go get). To keep ci.go builds reproducible the package is
"vendored" in build/_vendor.
This commit tweaks the debian packaging tool:
* All build environment metadata can now be overriden on the command
line. This allows testing the CI build behaviour locally.
* -unstable packages now actually contain the binaries (oops)
* packages use Go 1.7 to build
* archiving is skipped for PR builds
TravisCI and AppVeyor run the tests in very slow VMs.
Some of our tests can't cope with that. Running less tests
in parallel should make them somewhat less flakey.
This change also deletes generator.go, moving the only interesting line
in it into release.go. The binding has been regenerated with abigen from
develop and solc v0.3.6.
The new build script, ci.go, replaces some of the older shell scripts.
ci.go can compile go-ethereum, run the tests, create release archives
and debian source packages.
This version is less clever. All names are listed in a single file,
AUTHORS. All source files have the same header. This is an improvement
over the previous version, which attempted to list copyright holders in
each source file.
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
