We stopped testing these configurations a while ago, and it doesn't
really make sense to allow nodes to run in this configuration. This
drops support for non-blocksync nodes and cleans up the
configuration/tests accordingly.
Closes: #6908
This tweaks the connectivity of test configurations, in hopes that more will be viable.
Additionally reduces the prevalence of testing the legacy mempool.
This code hasn't been battle tested, and seems to have grown
increasingly flaky int tests. Given our general direction of reducing
queue complexity over the next couple of releases I think it makes
sense to remove it.
This PR tackles the case of using the e2e application in a long lived testnet. The application continually saves snapshots (usually every 100 blocks) which after a while bloats the size of the application. This PR prunes older snapshots so that only the most recent 10 snapshots remain.
A few notes:
- this is not all the deletion that we can do, but this is the most
"simple" case: it leaves in shims, and there's some trivial
additional cleanup to the transport that can happen but that
requires writing more code, and I wanted this to be easy to review
above all else.
- This should land *after* we cut the branch for 0.35, but I'm
anticipating that to happen soon, and I wanted to run this through
CI.
I observed a couple of problems with the generator in some recent tests:
- there were a couple of hybrid test cases which did not have any
legacy nodes (randomness and all.) I change the probability to
produce more reliable results.
- added options to the generation to be able to add a max (to
compliment the earlier min) number of nodes for local testing.
- added an option to support reversing the sort order so "more
complex" networks were first, as well as tweaked some of the point
values.
- this refactored the generators cli parsing to be a bit more clear.
The previous implemention of hybrid set testing, which was entirely my
own creation, was a bit peculiar, and I think this probably clears thins up.
The previous implementation had far fewer legacy nodes in hybrid
networks, *and* also for some reason that I can't quite explain,
caused a test case to fail.
This changes the focus of the e2e suite, to (roughly) focus on
configurations that are more well used. Most production users of
tendermint run ABCI application in process and the GRPC/socket methods
cover the vast majority of the remaining use cases.
Perhaps we should consider drop support unix domain sockets in a
future release, but I think in the mean time it's useful to have the
tests *mostly* focus on the primary use cases.
When revwing #6807 I assumed that `probSetChoice` worked this way.
I think that the coverage of various configuration options should
generally track what we expect the actual useage to be to focus the
most test coverage on the configurations that are the most prevelent.
This is just a configuration change to default to using the new stack
unless explicitly disabled (e.g. `UseLegacy`) this renames the
configuration value and makes the configuration logic more clear.
The legacy option is good to retain as a fallback if the new stack has
issues operationally, but we should make sure that most of the time
we're using the new stack.
Having looked at our network address parsing and connection code, it
really looks like we're not doing anything on top of what the standard
library is doing (both in terms using `net.ParseIP` and also
`net.Dial`,) and I don't think we need to run the tests 2x the number
of times just to run through different areas of the standard
library. I think most of our users are going to be using IPv4, and
would be down to fully remove this dimension as well, if we find it's
making noise, but for now I think it's fine.
* Don't use state sync for nodes starting at initial height.
* Also remove stopped containers when cleaning up.
* Start nodes in order of startAt, mode, name to avoid full nodes starting before their seeds.
* Tweak network waiting to avoid halts caused by validator changes and perturbations.
* Disable most tests for seed nodes, which aren't always able to join consensus.
* Disable `blockchain/v2` due to known bugs.
