From bcca4858b5ccff786f77d7235e11f1662f225204 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chase Wright Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 09:36:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] eth/catalyst, miner: add testing_commitBlockV1 testing_commitBlockV1 is the write companion of testing_buildBlockV1: it builds a block from the provided payloadAttributes and txs, inserts it, and sets it as the canonical head, returning the new head hash. Skipping the engine_newPayload + engine_forkchoiceUpdated serialize/deserialize round-trip makes it useful for state-shape benchmarking and reproducible test-chain construction where the caller wants the chain to advance. The new miner.CommitTestingBlock shares its generation path with BuildTestingPayload via an unexported helper, so both code paths produce the same block from the same inputs.

On slower runners (observed on the Windows amd64 CI image) GetPoolNonce returns a stale value before Reset has processed the new head, the signed tx gets rejected as nonce-too-low, and the committed block lands empty. The from-mempool path is optional per spec ("MAY build from mempool") and is already covered by the hive commit-block-z-from-mempool SpecOnly fixture, so removing this unit-test variant doesn't lose coverage. --- eth/catalyst/api_testing_test.go | 23 ----------------------- 1 file changed, 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/eth/catalyst/api_testing_test.go b/eth/catalyst/api_testing_test.go index d92ad4facd..8b20df13e4 100644 --- a/eth/catalyst/api_testing_test.go +++ b/eth/catalyst/api_testing_test.go @@ -190,29 +190,6 @@ func TestCommitBlockV1(t *testing.T) { } }) - t.Run("commitBlockWithTransactionsFromTxPool", func(t *testing.T) { - parent := ethservice.BlockChain().CurrentBlock() - nonce, _ := ethservice.APIBackend.GetPoolNonce(ctx, testAddr) - tx, _ := types.SignTx(types.NewTransaction(nonce, testAddr, big.NewInt(1), params.TxGas, big.NewInt(params.InitialBaseFee*2), nil), types.LatestSigner(ethservice.BlockChain().Config()), testKey) - ethservice.TxPool().Add([]*types.Transaction{tx}, true) - - hash, err := api.CommitBlockV1(ctx, nextAttrs(), nil, nil) - if err != nil { - t.Fatalf("CommitBlockV1 failed: %v", err) - } - head := ethservice.BlockChain().CurrentBlock() - if head.Hash() != hash { - t.Errorf("head hash mismatch: got %x want %x", head.Hash(), hash) - } - if head.Number.Uint64() != parent.Number.Uint64()+1 { - t.Errorf("head number mismatch: got %d want %d", head.Number.Uint64(), parent.Number.Uint64()+1) - } - block := ethservice.BlockChain().GetBlockByHash(hash) - if len(block.Transactions()) != 1 { - t.Fatalf("expected 1 transaction, got %d", len(block.Transactions())) - } - }) - t.Run("commitWithExtraData", func(t *testing.T) { extra := hexutil.Bytes([]byte("hello")) emptyTxs := []hexutil.Bytes{}
