Everywhere including examples, external interop APIs, bindings generators
code and in other valuable places. A couple of `interface{}` usages are
intentionally left in the CHANGELOG.md, documentation and tests.
And include some node-specific configurations there with backwards
compatibility. Note that in the future we'll remove Ledger's
fields from the ProtocolConfiguration and it'll be possible to access them in
Blockchain directly (not via .Ledger).
The other option tried was using two configuration types separately, but that
incurs more changes to the codebase, single structure that behaves almost like
the old one is better for backwards compatibility.
Fixes#2676.
Follow neo-project/neo#2807. Notice that this data is not cached, our previous
implementation wasn't too and it shouldn't be a problem (not on the hot path).
It's useful to reproduce different execution problems including executions
stopped because of GAS limit. Satoshi representation is deliberately used,
because that's what is usually found in logs.
Problem: failing part of TestLoad:
```
=== RUN TestLoad/loadgo,_check_signers
cli_test.go:160:
Error Trace: /home/circleci/go/src/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/cli/vm/cli_test.go:160
/home/circleci/go/src/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/cli/vm/cli_test.go:147
/home/circleci/go/src/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/cli/vm/cli_test.go:444
Error: command took too long time
Test: TestLoad/loadgo,_check_signers
```
Solution: split the test into multiple parts to reduce test execution time.
1. UsageText shows the command usage rule. Fixed/added where needed.
2. Description shows the command description, huh. It is shown right after
UsageText, so there's no need to repeat the command usage rule. If
Description contains Example, then it should be printed on a new line.
Usage message is shown on common --help command, thus it should be meaningful
and short. If user needs more detailed command description, then he can use
command-specific help.
As a result, current VM help looks pretty simple:
```
NEO-GO-VM > help
NAME:
VM CLI - Official VM CLI for Neo-Go
USAGE:
[global options] command [command options] [arguments...]
VERSION:
0.99.5-pre-15-g5463ec41
COMMANDS:
exit Exit the VM prompt
ip Show current instruction
break Place a breakpoint
jump Jump to the specified instruction (absolute IP value)
estack Show evaluation stack contents
istack Show invocation stack contents
sslot Show static slot contents
lslot Show local slot contents
aslot Show arguments slot contents
loadnef Load a NEF-consistent script into the VM optionally attaching to it provided signers with scopes
loadbase64 Load a base64-encoded script string into the VM optionally attaching to it provided signers with scopes
loadhex Load a hex-encoded script string into the VM optionally attaching to it provided signers with scopes
loadgo Compile and load a Go file with the manifest into the VM optionally attaching to it provided signers with scopes
loadtx Load transaction into the VM from chain or from parameter context file
loaddeployed Load deployed contract into the VM from chain optionally attaching to it provided signers with scopes
reset Unload compiled script from the VM and reset context to proper (possibly, historic) state
parse Parse provided argument and convert it into other possible formats
run Execute the current loaded script
cont Continue execution of the current loaded script
step Step (n) instruction in the program
stepinto Stepinto instruction to take in the debugger
stepout Stepout instruction to take in the debugger
stepover Stepover instruction to take in the debugger
ops Dump opcodes of the current loaded program
events Dump events emitted by the current loaded program
env Dump state of the chain that is used for VM CLI invocations (use -v for verbose node configuration)
storage Dump storage of the contract with the specified hash, address or ID as is at the current stage of script invocation
changes Dump storage changes as is at the current stage of loaded script invocation
help, h Shows a list of commands or help for one command
GLOBAL OPTIONS:
--help, -h show help
--version, -v print the version
```
Share parameters parsing code between 'contract invokefunction' and
'vm run' commands. It allows VM CLI to parse more complicated parameter
types including arrays and file-backed bytestrings.
Some commands don't accept arguments, but users try giving them and don't
notice a mistake. It's a bit more user-friendly to tell the user that there is
something wrong with the way he tries to use the command.
Make inspect work with avms by default and with go files if told so. In the
end this makes our CLI interface more consistent and usable. Drop useless
CompileAndInspect() compiler method along the way.
VM should be responsible for code execution and in case anyone interested in additional logging or errors they could handle them like we do it iin cli.
