Background
Some flaky tests using simulator were failing with the following error:
hathor.exception.InvalidNewTransaction: Ignoring transaction in the future
.Why?
Because a miner was trying to push a block with a timestamp set too far in the future.
Why?
Because
HathorManager.generate_mining_block()
was returning a block template with an invalid timestamp.Why?
After a chain of calls started by
Hathor.generate_mining_block()
, the method_make_block_template()
was called. This method was not taking into consideration theMAX_FUTURE_TIMESTAMP_ALLOWED
when calculating the maximum allowed timestamp.Acceptance criteria
BlockTemplateError
andBlockTemplateTimestampError
.HathorManager._make_block_template()
to takeMAX_FUTURE_TIMESTAMP_ALLOWED
into consideration when calculatingmax_timestamp
.hathor.simulator.GeometricMiner
to handle theBlockTemplateTimestampError
trying again in 5 seconds.
