This PR creates a new
optimist
endpoint/block/make-now
(and wrappers it in the Nf3 class methodmakeBlockNow
). When called,optimist
will make a 'short' block using whatever transactions it has in its database, even if that is less thanTRANSACTIONS_PER_BLOCK
. The short block is still made by queuingconditionalMakeBlock
in the usual way, so the queue is never bypassed. The new code will not make a block if there are no transactions: there must be at least one. If there are already >=TRANSACTIONS_PER_BLOCK
transactions, then calling this endpoint has no effect.To test, an additional test stanza has been added to the ERC1155 tests, whereby
makeBlockNow
is called and a single deposit transaction is made. The test then waits for a block to be created. Normally it would wait forever (well, until it times out) but because the end point has been called, a block with a single transaction will be made. you can double check this by looking at the logs and you will find a block with atransactionHashes
of length 1, rather than 2.
