.. as the `electrsd` crate doesn't support it.
While we previously did so in our CI script, we now also `cfg`-gate the
tests and dependencies for easier handling.
Previously, we used the auto-download feature of the
`electrsd`/`bitcoind` crates. While convenient, they unnecessarily
introduced a lot of dependecies (`zip`, `zstd`, `time`, etc.) to our
test environment which needed pinning for the MSRV of 1.63.
Here, we introduce a new `no_download` config flag to the
`lightning-transaction-sync` crate allowing us to disable this
auto-download feature in CI, where we now opt to download the
corresponding binaries manually. We keep the default-auto-download as a
convenience feature for running tests locally though.
`OnceCell` doesn't call `drop`, which makes the spawned
`bitcoind`/`electrsd` instances linger around after our tests have
finished. To fix this, we move them out of `OnceCell` and let every test
that needs them spawn their own instances. This additional let us drop
the `OnceCell` dev dependency.
To support HTTPS endpoints, the async HTTP library `reqwest` needs one of
the `-tls` features enabled. While the users could specify this in their
own cargo dependencies, we here provide a new `esplora-async-https`
feature for conveinience.
We have some downstream folks who are using LDK in wasm compiled
via the normal rust wasm path. To ensure nothing breaks they want
to use `no-std` on the lightning crate, disabling time calls as
those panic. However, the HTTP logic in
`lightning-transaction-sync` gets automatically stubbed out by the
HTTP client crates when targeting wasm via `wasm_bindgen`, so it
works fine despite the std restrictions.
In order to make both work, `lightning-transaction-sync` can remain
`std`, but needs to not automatically enable the `std` flag on the
`lightning` crate, ie by setting `default-features = false`. We do
so here.
This crate provides utilities for syncing LDK via the transaction-based
`Confirm` interface. The initial implementation facilitates
synchronization with an Esplora backend server.
