Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22738: test: fix failure in feature_nulldummy.py on single-core machines
7720d4f650 test: fix failure in feature_nulldummy.py on single-core machines (Sebastian Falbesoner)
646b3885f7 test: refactor: use named args for block_submit in feature_nulldummy.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  On single-core machines, executing the test `feature_nulldummy.py` results in the following assertion error:

  ```

  There are hardly any single-core machines around anymore, but the behaviour can be reproduced on a multi-core machine by patching the function `GetNumCores()` to return 1 on the master branch and running `feature_nulldummy.py`:

  ```diff
  diff --git a/src/util/system.cpp b/src/util/system.cpp

   int GetNumCores()
   {
  -    return std:🧵:hardware_concurrency();
  +    return 1;
   }
  ```
  As solution, parallel script verification is disabled (`-par=1`) and the exact reject reason is checked, which also increases the precision of the test (the possibility that the block is rejected because of another unintended reason is ruled out). See also related PR #22711 which applies the same approach for the p2p segwit test. The PR also includes a refactoring commit which changes the calls to `self.block_submit()` to use named arguments and removes the default value for parameter `accept` (i.e. explicitely passing `accept=...` is mandatory), with the aim to increase the test readability.

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
