This PR adds a mempool acceptance check before broadcasting a given transaction. To maintain the current behavior from
BtcWallet.PublishTransaction, the two errors, ErrInMempool and ErrAlreadyConfirmed returned from TestMempoolAccept are ignored.

Note that we choose to implement this method as an interface method on chain.Interface in btcwallet as we want to have this TestMempoolAccept being used as an independent check and can be used in other cases where we don't wanna publish transactions. However, we could implement this check in btcwallet instead in PublishTransaction here,
https://github.com/btcsuite/btcwallet/blob/5df09dd4335865dde2a9a6d94a26a7f5779af825/wallet/wallet.go#L3657-L3659
since every tx must pass this mempool acceptance check before it can be broadcast. This alternative approach, tho, do have a problem, that we need to pass the max feerate used by testmempoolaccept to PublishTransaction in btcwallet, which seems to be a larger change.

Depends on:

Fixes #4760

Looks decent to me. I think there are opportunities for cleaning up error translation responsibility so that we can keep the error boundaries clean but afaict those issues precede this PR and don't need to be fixed here.

Walkthrough

The updates involve enhancing transaction handling in a Bitcoin Lightning Network Daemon (lnd). A new method for testing mempool acceptance (TestMempoolAccept) ensures transactions conform to mempool rules before broadcast. Error handling improvements are made in the Start method and a new utility function (ErrorAs) simplifies error type assertions. The PublishTransaction method is updated for better error management and backend-specific behavior.

Changes

File Path Change Summary
chainreg/no_chain_backend.go Added TestMempoolAccept method.
contractcourt/chain_arbitrator.go Improved error logging in Start, renamed a method.
docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.18.0.md Documented new mempool acceptance check.
lnutils/errors.go Introduced ErrorAs function.
lnwallet/btcwallet/btcwallet.go Enhanced PublishTransaction with error handling logic.

Poem

In the code where the bits all play,
A rabbit hopped by, refining the way.
🐇💻 With a tweak and a fix, it made transactions stick,
Ensuring the mempool's nod, quick and slick.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
    • Generate unit-tests for this file.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository from git and render them as a table.
    • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

lnutils/errors.go (1)
  • 5-21: The implementation of ErrorAs is correct and follows best practices by simplifying error handling with generics. This is a good use of Go's type parameters feature.
chainreg/no_chain_backend.go (1)
  • 217-221: The TestMempoolAccept method is correctly added as a stub to the NoChainSource type. Ensure that it is documented as a placeholder implementation since it returns nil for both the result and error.
docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.18.0.md (1)
  • 110-115: The release notes have been updated correctly to describe the new mempool acceptance check feature for transactions in lnd. The explanation is clear and includes a link to the relevant PR.
lnwallet/btcwallet/btcwallet.go (4)
  • 1204-1206: The handleErr closure is introduced to handle errors from PublishTransaction and TestMempoolAccept. This is a good use of a closure to avoid code duplication.
  • 1232-1238: The early return for the "neutrino" backend in PublishTransaction is a good separation of logic for different backends.
  • 1240-1245: The use of TestMempoolAccept with a max feerate of 0 to use the default value is a good implementation detail that aligns with the PR's objective to check mempool acceptance before broadcasting.
  • 1250-1254: The sanity check for the length of results from TestMempoolAccept ensures that the expected number of results is returned, which is a good defensive programming practice.

The switch case that handles ErrInMempool and ErrAlreadyConfirmed by re-publishing the transaction to mark the label in the wallet is a temporary workaround. This is not ideal as it may lead to redundant network traffic and should be refactored once the rebroadcaster is implemented.

Refactor this logic to avoid broadcasting the transaction twice once the new rebroadcaster is in place.

Latest changes looking pretty good. I think we can cherry-pick this commit from my old PR as well to get us some extra coverage: 81b132f#diff-dce12550c3c3d6c8e301e5fd1341b398c7a0f4680f752acabeefb42a5a1f61d5R2036

Might need to be modified slightly tho for this new version

This commit adds a mempool acceptance check before broadcasting a given
transaction. To maintain the current behavior from
`BtcWallet.PublishTransaction`, the two errors, `ErrInMempool` and
`ErrAlreadyConfirmed` returned from `TestMempoolAccept` are ignored.
Previously, `PublishTransaction` in `btcwallet` will first mark the tx
label in db first before broadcasting it to the network. Even though the
broadcast may fail with the error already in mempool or already
confirmed, this tx label updating is still performed. To maintain the
old behavior, we now catch the errors from `TestMempoolAccept`, and make
sure to call the `PublishTransaction` to mark the tx label even there
are errors from mempool acceptance check.

We should not fail to start the node if a republish attempt failed for a
channel's closing tx. Instead, we log an error to continue the startup
and let other channels continue their operations.
bitcoind v25.0 updated the `sendrawtransaction` RPC to have an optional
argument `maxburnamount` with a default value of 0. This means our
existing test that uses burning output cannot be published, hence, we
remove the usage of it in our tests and replace it with a normal tx.
