This branch is intended to allow the devnet to be used for testing
multiple consents types beyond the default clique. It is initially being
used to test Bor consensus for polygon.
It also has the following refactoring:
### 1. Network configuration
The two node arg building functions miningNodeArgs and nonMiningNodeArgs
have been replaced with a configuration struct which is used to
configure:
```go
network := &node.Network{
DataDir: dataDir,
Chain: networkname.DevChainName,
//Chain: networkname.BorDevnetChainName,
Logger: logger,
BasePrivateApiAddr: "localhost:9090",
BaseRPCAddr: "localhost:8545",
Nodes: []node.NetworkNode{
&node.Miner{},
&node.NonMiner{},
},
}
```
and start multiple nodes
```go
network.Start()
```
Network start will create a network of nodes ensuring that all nodes are
configured with non clashing network ports set via command line
arguments on start-up.
### 2. Request Routing
The `RequestRouter` has been updated to take a 'target' rather than
using a static dispatcher which routes to a single node on the network.
Each node in the network has its own request generator so command and
services have more flexibility in request routing and
`ExecuteAllMethods` currently takes the `node.Network` as an argument
and can pick which node (node 0 for the moment) to send requests to.
- Fix tx numbers expected
- Check for baseFee subpool size too
- Fix tx counting
- Wait for blocks in baseFee subpool to be promoted and mined
- Add BlockNumber request
**Current Problem**
When X transactions are created, with M transactions out of them having
`gasFeeCap` greater than the current `baseFeePerGas` for the block, and
N transactions having `gasFeeCap` lower, all X transactions get added to
the yellow pool (baseFee) in the txpool and they never get mined.
However when X transactions all having `gasFeeCap` higher than the
`baseFeePerGas` are created, they all get added to the green pool
(pending) in the txpool and thus get mined.
This phenomenon can be inspected in the
`signEIP1559TxsLowerAndHigherThanBaseFee2` function where the number of
transactions that should have `gasFeeCap` higher than and lower than the
current `baseFeePerGas` is specified in its parameter - `func
signEIP1559TxsLowerAndHigherThanBaseFee2(amountLower, amountHigher
int...`.
When `amountLower` is set as `0`, all transactions created from
`amountHigher` will be mined because they have `gasFeeCap` >
`baseFeePerGas`. When `amountLower` has a value > `0`, all the
transactions created (including transactions created with
`amountHigher`) will go to the yellow pool (baseFee) and thus do not get
mined.
- Added a new method and type for contract transactions.
- Added functions to emit fallback events from contract transactions.
- Added GetLogs request generator
- Added tests for GetLogs request generator
