spend: a temporary partial fix for LowestFee
This is a temporary partial fix for
https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/coin-select/issues/6 that should be
reverted once the upstream fix has been made.

When calculating the score, the excess should be added to changeless solutions
instead of those with change.

Given a solution has been found, this fix adds or removes the excess to its
incorrectly calculated score as required so that two changeless solutions can
be differentiated if one has higher excess (and therefore pays a higher fee).

Note that the `bound` function is also affected by this bug, which could mean
some branches are not considered when running BnB, but at least this fix will
mean the score for those solutions that are found is correct.

Lianad blackbox tests

Here we test lianad by starting it on a regression testing Bitcoin network, and by then talking to it as an user would, from the outside.

Python scripts are used for the automation, and specifically the pytest framework.

Credits: this test framework was taken and adapted from revaultd, which was itself adapted from C-lightning's test framework.

Building the project for testing

To run the tests, we must build the debug version of lianad. Follow the instructions at doc/BUILD.md but instead of running

$ cargo build --release

Run

$ cargo build

to build the daemon for testing.
The lianad and liana-cli binaries will be in the target/debug directory at the root of the repository.

Test dependencies

Functional tests dependencies can be installed using pip. Use a virtual environment.

# Create a new virtual environment, preferably.
python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
# Get the deps
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

Additionaly you need to have bitcoind installed on your computer, please refer to bitcoincore for installation. You may use a specific bitcoind binary by specifying the BITCOIND_PATH env var.

Running the tests

From the root of the repository:

pytest tests/

Tips and tricks

Logging

We use the Live Logging functionality from pytest. It is configured in (pyproject.toml)[../pyproject.toml] to output INFO-level to the console. If a test fails, the entire DEBUG log is output.

You can override the config at runtime with the --log-cli-level option:

pytest -vvv --log-cli-level=DEBUG -k test_startup

Note that we record all logs from daemons, and we start them with log_level = "debug".

Test lints

Just use black.
