44bbceeef1 [Tests] Cleanup feature_block.py, remove unnecessary PreviousSpendableOutput object (Conor Scott) 736f941424 [Tests] Cleanup extra instances of create_transaction (Conor Scott) 157651855f [Tests] Rename create_tx and move to blocktools.py (Conor Scott) Pull request description: There currently exist seven ([1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/feature_cltv.py#L52-L60), [2](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/feature_csv_activation.py#L88-L95) [3](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/feature_dersig.py#L40-L48), [4](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/feature_nulldummy.py#L100-L108), [5](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/test_framework/util.py#L529-L535), [6](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/test_framework/blocktools.py#L120-L129), [7](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/feature_block.py#L1218-L1220)) implementations of a function called something similar to `create_transaction` in the functional tests, some of which are exact copies of each other. This PR aims to clean this up into [three different cases implemented in blocktools.py](https://github.com/conscott/bitcoin/blob/create_tx_cleanup/test/functional/test_framework/blocktools.py#L121-L149) 1. `create_tx_with_script`: Return transaction object spending generic tx output optionally specifying scriptSig and scriptPubKey 2. `create_transaction`: Return transaction object spending coinbase tx 2. `create_raw_transaction`: Return raw transaction (hex string) spending coinbase tx I am not committed to any of these function names, so I'll gladly take suggestions on there. Additionally there are some related cleanups to feature_block.py tests, specifically removing the [PreviousSpendableOutput](https://github.com/conscott/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/feature_block.py#L51-L54) object, which seems like an unnecessary layer given that every instance spends the 0 output.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
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, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original 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 and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.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, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes 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.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
