We are about to disect a couple of invoices for features, so let's add a class
that can encode and decode invoices from bolt11 strings. This is pretty much
the lnaddr.py file created by @rustyrussell with some minor changes. I'm
planning to clean this up further which is why I'm only exporting the
`Invoice` class for now.
The `generate` has been deprecated since 0.16 and has been removed in 0.18.0
so we better use `generatetoaddress` instead, which is already what we do with
`bitcoind`. So we remove the override here.
Fixes: #3192
Changelog-Added: `waitanyinvoice` now supports a `timeout` parameter, which when set will cause the command to fail when the timeout is reached; can set this to 0 to fail immediately if no new invoice has been paid yet.
As per the spec (https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#request_object)
```
A rpc call is represented by sending a Request object to a Server. The Request object has the following members:
jsonrpc
A String specifying the version of the JSON-RPC protocol. MUST be exactly "2.0".
```
Changelog-fixed: pyln now includes the "jsonrpc" field to jsonrpc2 requests
This is needed to fully implement handling of blockheight disagreements
between us and payee.
If payee believes the blockheight is higher than ours, then `pay`
should wait for our node to achieve that blockheight.
Changelog-Add: Implement `waitblockheight` to wait for a specific blockheight.
Some Linux OSs impose a length limit on the path a Unix socket may have. This
is not an issue in `lightningd` since we `chdir()` into that directory before
opening the socket, however in pyln this became a problem for some tests,
since we use absolute paths in the testing framework. It's also a rather
strange quirk to expose to users.
This patch introduces a `UnixSocket` abstraction that attempts to work around
these limitations by aliasing the directory containing the socket into
`/proc/self/fd` and then connecting using that alias.
It was inspired by Open vSwitch code here https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/python/ovs/socket_util.py

Using the psycopg2-binary package means that the apropriate compiled binary

Quite a few of the things in the LightningNode class are tailored to their use
in the c-lightning tests, so I decided to split those customizations out into
a sub-class, and adding one more fixture that just serves the class. This
allows us to override the LightningNode implementation in our own tests, while
still having sane defaults for other users.
We were relying heavily on NodeFactory to do some magic before instantiating
the Node with rpc and daemon initialized, that meant that we'd have to replace
all 3 classes when customizing the node to our needs. Moving that
initialization into the node itself means that the LightningNode class now can
be swapped out and customized, without having to wire everything else through.
`DEVELOPER=1` assumes that the binary has been compiled with developer set to
true, which might not be the case for plugin developers. Setting this to 0 by
default has no effect in c-lightning since we always at least set it in
`config.vars` but may prevent some issues outside.
We'll rewrite the tests to use this infrastructure in the next commit.
Changelog-Added: The new `pyln-testing` package now contains the testing infrastructure so it can be reused to test against c-lighting in external projects
This should not affect any consumer of the API since we just shift the actual
implementation from one side to the other, and keep aliases in place so
scripts don't break.
We also bump the version number from 0.0.7.3 to 0.7.4 which allows us to be in
sync with c-lightning itself, and remove the superfluous `0` in front.
Takes advantage of upfront-shutdown-script to permit users to
specify the close-to address for a channel at open, by adding
a `close_to` field to `fundchannel_start`.
Note that this only is in effect if `fundchannel_start` returns
with `close_to` set -- otherwise, peer doesn't
support `option_upfront_shutdown_script`.
Command format: close id [unilateraltimeout] [destination]
Close the channel with peer {id}, forcing a unilateral
close after {unilateraltimeout} seconds if non-zero, and
the to-local output will be sent to {destination}. If
{destination} isn't specified, the default is the address
of lightningd.
Also change the pylightning:
update the `close` API to support `destination` parameter
* Add compatibility with the new shortchannelid syntax with x as separator
* Add an error message in case the parse failed, instead of receveing an unrelated error from the bitcoin-cli
This is the first step to transition to a better organized python module
structure. Sadly we can't reuse the `pylightning` module as a namespace module
since having importable things in the top level of the namespace is not
allowed in any of the namespace variants [1], hence we just switch over to the
`pyln` namespace. The code the was under `lightning` will now be reachable
under `pyln.client` and we add the `pyln.proto` module for all the things that
are independent of talking to lightningd and can be used for protocol testing.

`close` takes two optional arguments: `force` and `timeout`.
`timeout` doesn't timeout the close (there's no way to do that), just
the JSON call. `force` (default `false`) if set, means we unilaterally
close at the timeout, instead of just failing.
Timing out JSON calls is generally deprecated: that's the job of the
client. And the semantics of this are confusing, even to me! A
better API is a timeout which, if non-zero, is the time at which we
give up and unilaterally close.
The transition code is awkward, but we'll manage for the three
releases until we can remove it.
The new defaults are to unilaterally close after 48 hours.

We recently noticed that the way we unpack the call arguments for hooks and
notifications in pylightning breaks pretty quickly once you start changing the
hook and notification params. If you add params they will not get mapped
correctly causing the plugin to error out.
This can be fixed by adding a `VAR_KEYWORD` argument to the calbacks, i.e., by
adding a single `**kwargs` argument at the end of the signature. This commit
adds a check that such a catch-all argument exists, and emits a warning if it
doesn't.
It also fixes up the plugins that we ship ourselves.

The old codes if % 1000 statement logic was simply inverted

Before Fix:
- Millisatoshi('42sat').to_btc_str() => 0.00000042000btc
- Millisatoshi('42001msat').to_btc_str() => 0.00000042btc
After Fix:
- Millisatoshi('42sat').to_btc_str() => 0.00000042btc
- Millisatoshi('42001msat').to_btc_str() => 0.00000042001btc
Currently, when a multiplication operator is invoked that
does not result in an even integer result but a floating result,
the pylightning code will raise an exception:
Millisatoshi must be string with msat/sat/btc suffix or int
This is because the internal float result will be used as
contructor argument like this: return Millisatoshi(10000.5)
This happens especially on fee calculations where small uneven amounts
are calculated.
Millisatoshi's inner representation expected to be an int, otherwise unwanted exceptions could occur
The following example raises: TypeError: __int__ returned non-int (type decimal.Decimal)

We read a JSON message from the buffer, after converting it from raw bytes to
UTF-8, and returning the remainder of the byte array back to the
caller. However the return value of `raw_decode` refers to symbols in the
UTF-8 decoded string, not the raw bytes underlying byte-array, which means
that if we have multi-byte encoded UTF-8 symbols in the byte-array we end up
with a misaligned offset and will return part of the message as
remainder. This would then end up being interpreted as the result of the next
call.
This could not be exploited currently since we use a socket only for a single
JSON-RPC call and will close the connection afterwards, but since we want to
eventually recycle connections for multiple calls, this could have been very
dangerous.
