Checking this in middleware not only removes duplicated code from each of the handlers, but also makes things more efficient. Previously, dcrd/dcrwallet/database clients were initialized (and could possibly cause errors) **before** checking if the VSP is closed. Now the check happens before those other things.
Also bundled with some improvements to setaltsignaddr_test.go which I implemented along the way.
* Remove helper func getCommitmentAddress.
This function is only used in one place so removing it does not introduce any duplication. Removing the func also removes the need for errors.Is comparison, which will be very useful in upcoming changes.
* Rename apiError to ErrorCode.
* Don't use inline type for API errors.
* Export webapi errors.
* Export webapi request/responses.
* Add types module for API requests/responses/errors
This removes all of the global loggers from the project and replaces them with loggers which are instantiated in vspd.go and passed down as params.
To support this, the background package was removed. It only contained one file so it was a bit pointless anyway. It only existed so background tasks could have their own named logger.
- Rename all instances to "shutdownCtx" to be really explicit. This context is special in that it can be closed at any time without warning, so it should be obvious to the reader.
- Don't use shutdownCtx in RPC clients. Clients should not stop working immediately when shutdown is signalled, they need to keep working while the process is shutting down.
* Remove global cache variable.
Rather than maintaining cached data in a global variable, instantiate a cache struct and keep it in the `Server` struct.
* Store net params in RPC clients.
This means net params only need to be supplied once at startup, and also removes a global instance of net params in `background.go`.
This renames "Voting wallet status" to "VSP status" and it now includes the status of the local dcrd instance. This change impacts both the /admin page of the UI, and the response of the /admin/status API endpoint.
Errors generated during dcrd client creation were previously handled in middleware, and request handling was terminated immediately.
Now the error handling is delayed by adding the error details to the request context. This enables downstream handlers to decide what to do with the error.
If an alternate address exists for this ticket, check it first and fall
back to the commitment address if validation fails. Alternate address
failure is allowed so that other endpoints do not need to add a field to
all requests specifying whether this is the alternate address's
signature or the commitment address's signature.
* Use features from Go 1.16 tooling.
- GO111MODULE environment variable now defaults to "on"
- "go build" and "go test" now exit with an error rather than silently modifying go.mod or go.sum files
- Update README.md
* Don't use deprecated ioutil package.
* Remove static cfg values from GUI cache.
Theres no need for these values to be copied into the cache when templates could simply access the config struct directly.
This also changes the cache accessor so it returns a copy of the cache rather than a pointer, which removes a potential race.
* Rename and move cache.
Cache code was previous in `homepage.go`, but its used in multiple places and not just on the homepage. Its enough code to go into its own dedicated `cache.go`.
* Delay fee broadcast and adding tickets to wallets.
- Adds a `background` package which implements a dcrd notification handler. On each blockconnected notification, tickets with 6+ confirmations are marked confirmed, relevant fee transactions are broadcast, and any fees with 6+ confirmations have their tickets added to voting wallets.
- VSP fee is now an absolute value measured in DCR rather than a percentage. This simplifies the code and is more appropriate for an MVP. We can re-add percentage based fees later.
- Database code for tickets is now simplified to just "Insert/Update", rather than having functions for updating particular fields.
- Pay fee response no longer includes the fee tx hash, because we dont necessarily broadcast the fee tx straight away.
* Const for required confs
