In case of a multi shard payment with more than one in-flight shards,
one shard quitting with a terminal failure will stop the payment
lifecycle and close the `shardHandler`'s `quit` channel. In the
`collectResult` function we're waiting for the `Switch` to
asynchronously return a result for each shard. This may have been
interrupted by the aformentioned `quit` channel's closing skipping
attempt failure (or success) notification towards the control tower
and therefore skipping proper settle/fail info fill in the channel db.
Since payments have a composite state of a global failure reason and
settle/fail info for all attempts, any attempt with an unfilled
settle/fail info keeps a payment in-flight even if the payment itself
isn't in-flight anymore.
In this commit, we start to ignore the option to allow the caller to use
the legacy onion payload. The new payload is much more flexible and
efficient, so there's really no reason to still use it, other than for
backwards compatibility tests. Our existing tests that exercise the
legacy feature uses a build tag, which forces nodes to not advertise the
new payload format, which then forces path finding to include the legacy
payload, so we can be confident that route is still being tested.
The existence of this option (which actually makes the TLV payload
opt-in for `SendToRoute` users) makes it harder to remove it from the
protocol all together. With this PR, we take a step forward to allowing
such a change which is being tracked on the spec level at:
https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/962.
In a future release, we'll move to remove the field all together.
Ignoring the field today doesn't seem to have any clear downsides, as
most payments always include the MPP payload (due to payment secrets),
so this shouldn't impact users in a significant way.
The `log.go` file of each subserver is a copy and paste of the others.
All of them have the same typo, an extra space in a comment, and the
the definition of a function not used anywhere.
Was discovered in a race unit test in lightning node connect that uses
the websocket proxy to connect to the hashmail server on the client
side.
By not shadowing the err variable we end up reading and writing to the
same variable from two different goroutines, which causes the data race.
If new default scopes are added to the underlying btcwallet
implementation, then they aren't automatically created for _existing_
wallets, only for new ones. So on startup we need to make sure all
scopes are present.
