* Problem: several tests are skipped
Solution: activate or remove tests
* Problem: store_transaction is deprecated
Solution: replace it with store_bulk_transaction
* Problem: we don't test the transaction split
Solution: undelete `test_store_transaction`
* Problem: failing tests
Solution: merge master and change deprecated store_transaction
* Problem: tests in test_bigchain_api are not activated
Solution: remove or active tests
* Problem: TransactionNotInValidBlock was removed
Solution: remove TransactionNotInValidBlock from tests
* Problem: Config settings docs missing some configs & inconsistent
Solution: Document some undocumented config settings and make the config settings docs page more consistent
* Problem: No docs about how config setting env var name determined
Solution: Explain and show the relationship between the config-file name and the environment variable name of config settings
* Problem: Source files contain no license info
Solution: Add comments with SPDX license info to source files
* Python 3 files don't need # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
* Problem: core.py contains an unused class, `Bigchain`
Solution: Remove core.py. Refactor BigchainDB Class to remove inheritance from Bigchain.
* Fixed flake8 complaint about too many blank lines
* Attempting to fix Sphinx docs. This may result in some redundant commits, as I don't know what I'm doing, and I can't experiment without running the CI...
Sorry in advance!
* Updating from master changed BigchainDB.process_post_response to a private method, so I had to align with that.
* Fixed a couple stale references to bigchaindb.Bigchain in docstrings
* Missed a reference to `Bigchain` in a patch call...
* Problem: Tests in class `TestBigChainAPI` from `tests/db/test_bigchain_api.py` were disabled
Solution: Fixed the tests that still made sense, and deleted the rest.
* Problem: Flake8 style complaints
Solution: Made things prettier
* Problem: Debugging comments were slightly NSFW
Solution: Deleted the debugging comments
* Problem: Stale use of `pytest.mark.genesis` decorator on these tests
Solution: Removed the decorator
* Problem: CriticalDoubleInclusion exception was no longer used anywhere in the code
Solution: Deleted it
* Problem: Unused exception `GenesisBlockAlreadyExistsError`
Solution: Deleted it
* Problem: I removed a test that covered writing to the DB and checking that everything is stored faithfully
Solution: Replaced it and got it working again
Solution: In the docs page listing the Community-Driven Libraries and Tools, make it clear that they might not work with the latest version of BigchainDB. Make it a warning rather than a note.
* Problem: Need a method to initiate a new upsert-validator election
Solution: Added subcommand `new` to `upsert_validator`
* Problem: Changes to upsert-validator needed to be reflected in the docs
Solution: Wrote a section for `upsert-validator new`
- Make the title of the asset search section consistent with the example (and consistent with the metadata search title and example).
- Add a note that one can use `asset?search` or `asset/?search`, and the same for metadata.
* Problem: all blocks are valid
Solution: remove the status from transactions
* Problem: changed the return type of get_transaction_filtered
Solution: return tx class instead of dict
Solution: Random failure of test
`tests/test_events.py::test_event_handler_raises_when_called_after_start` seem
to be because of `get_nowait` which returns way to quickly even when the queue
has data. Increasing timeout seems to fix the issue.
Solution: Modify the file `HOW_TO_HANDLE_PULL_REQUESTS.md` to point its readers to the new document about how to handle external pull requests: [BEP-16](https://github.com/bigchaindb/BEPs/tree/master/16).
