This ensures we don't needlessly start the node, and reduces implicit dependencies between test functions.
test_seed_peers() - Move assert calling RPC to verify correct chain after our own function actually started the node.
Because we don't have type checking for command-line/settings/config
args, strings are interpreted as 'false' for non-boolean args.
By convention, this "forces" us to interpret negated strings as 'true',
which conflicts with the negated option definition in all the settings
classes (they expect negated options to always be false and ignore any
other value preceding them). Consequently, when retrieving all "wallet"
values from the command-line/settings/config, we also fetch the negated
string boolean value, which is not of the expected 'string' type.
This mismatch leads to an internal fatal error, resulting in an unclean
shutdown during initialization. Furthermore, this error displays a poorly
descriptive error message:
"JSON value of type bool is not of expected type string"
This commit fixes the fatal error by ensuring that only string values are
returned in the "wallet" settings list, failing otherwise. It also improves
the clarity of the returned error message.

They cannot be scaled by the timeout_factor option and can
therefore cause timeouts in slow environments.
They are also not necessary for the test, since they measure time
frome startup until a debug message is encountered, which
is not restricted to 1 minute by any internal logic within bitcoind.

It seems inconsistent, fragile and verbose to:
* Call `get_datadir_path` to recreate the path that already exists as field in TestNode
* Call `os.path.join` with the hardcoded chain name or `self.chain` to recreate the TestNode `chain_path` property
* Sometimes even use the hardcoded node dir name (`"node0"`)
Fix all issues by using the TestNode properties.

30778124b8 net: Give seednodes time before falling back to fixed seeds (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
`-seednode` is an alternative bootstrap mechanism - when choosing it, we make a `AddrFetch` connection to the specified peer, gather addresses from them, and then disconnect. Presumably, if users specify a seednode they prefer addresses from that node over fixed seeds.
However, when disabling dns seeds and specifiying `-seednode`, `CConnman::ProcessAddrFetch()` immediately removes the entry from `m_addr_fetches` (before the seednode could give us addresses) - and once `m_addr_fetches` is empty, `ThreadOpenConnections` will add fixed seeds, resulting in a "race" between the fixed seeds and seednodes filling up AddrMan.
This PR suggests to check for any provided `-seednode` arg instead of using the size of `m_addr_fetches`, thus delaying the querying of fixed seeds for 1 minute when specifying any seednode (as we already do for `addnode` peers).
That way, we actually give the seednodes a chance for to provide us with addresses before falling back to fixed seeds.
This can be tested with `bitcoind -debug=net -dnsseed=0 -seednode=(...)` on a node without `peers.dat` and observing the debug log.

Currently debug.log will show the wrong bitcoin.conf config file path when
bitcoind is invoked without -conf or -datadir arguments, and there's a default
bitcoin.conf file which specifies another datadir= location. When this happens,
the debug.log will include an incorrect "Config file:" line referring to a
bitcoin.conf file in the other datadir, instead of the referring to the actual
configuration file in the default datadir which was parsed.
The bad log print was reported and originally fixed in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27303 by
Matthew Zipkin <pinheadmz@gmail.com>
This PR takes a slightly different approach to fixing the bug, trying to avoid
future bugs by not allowing the GetConfigFilePath function to be called before
the the configuration is parsed, and deleting GetConfigFile function which
could be confused with GetConfigFilePath. It also includes a test for the bug
which the original fix did not have.

Show an error on startup if a bitcoin datadir that is being used contains a
`bitcoin.conf` file that is ignored. There are two cases where this could
happen:
- One case reported in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27246#issuecomment-1470006043
happens when a bitcoin.conf file in the default datadir (e.g.
$HOME/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf) has a "datadir=/path" line that sets different
datadir containing a second bitcoin.conf file. Currently the second
bitcoin.conf file is ignored with no warning.
- Another way this could happen is if a -conf= command line argument points
to a configuration file with a "datadir=/path" line and that specified path
contains a bitcoin.conf file, which is currently ignored.
This change only adds an error message and doesn't change anything about way
settings are applied. It also doesn't trigger errors if there are redundant
-datadir or -conf settings pointing at the same configuration file, only if
they are pointing at different files and one file is being ignored.
2555a3950f p2p: ProcessAddrFetch(-seednode) is unnecessary if -connect is specified (Dhruv Mehta)
Pull request description:
If the user runs: `bitcoind -connect=X -seednode=Y`, I _think_ it is safe to ignore `-seednode`. A more populated `addrman` (via `getaddr` calls to peers in `-seednode`) is not useful in this configuration: `addrman` entries are used to initiate new outbound connections when slots are open, or to open feeler connections and keep `addrman` from getting stale. This is all done in a part of `ThreadOpenConnections` (below [this line](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net.cpp#L1803)) which is never executed when `-connect` is supplied. With `-connect`, `ThreadOpenConnections` will run [this loop](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net.cpp#L1785) and exit thread execution when interrupted.
Reviewers may also find it relevant that when `-connect` is used, we [soft disable](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/init.cpp#L800) `-dnsseed` in init.cpp perhaps for the same reason i.e. seeding is not useful with `-connect`.
Running `ProcessAddrFetch` does not seem to have downside except developer confusion AFAICT. I was confused by this and felt it might affect other new bitcoiners too. If there is strong preference to not remove the line, I'd also be happy to just leave a comment there mentioning `ADDR_FETCH`/`-seednode` is irrelevant when used with `-connect`.
If this change is accepted, the node will still make `getaddr` calls to peers in `-connect` and expand `addrman`. However, disabling those `getaddr` calls would leak information about the node's configuration.

Review note: The changes are complete, because self.options.descriptors
is set to None in parse_args (test_framework.py).
A value of None implies -disablewallet, see the previous commit.
So if a call to add_wallet_options is missing, it will lead to a test
failure when the wallet is compiled in.
This happens, for example, if the user specified -onlynet=onion or
-onlynet=i2p. DNS seeds only resolve to IPv4 / IPv6 addresses,
making their answers useless to us, since we don't want to make
connections to these.
If, within the DNS seed thread, we'd instead do fallback AddrFetch
connections to one of the clearnet addresses the DNS seed resolves to,
we might get usable addresses from other networks
if lucky, but would be violating our -onlynet user preference
in doing so.
Therefore, in this case it is better to rely on fixed seeds for networks we
want to connect to.

1d4122dfef init: Allow -proxy="" setting values (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
This drops the `No proxy server specified. Use -proxy=<ip> or -proxy=<ip:port>` error when a empty `-proxy=` command line argument, `bitcoin.conf` value, or `settings.json` value is specified, and just makes bitcoin connect and listen normally in these cases.
The error was originally added in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20003 to prevent a bare `-proxy` command line argument with no assignment from clearing proxy settings. But it was implemented in an overbroad way breaking empty `-proxy=` assignments as well.
The motivation for this change is to prevent a GUI bug that happens with https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15936, reported in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15936#pullrequestreview-937685759 by vasild, that happens after a proxy setting is enabled and disabled in the GUI.

6bb54708e6 util: Check if specified config file cannot be opened (nthumann)
Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22612.
When running e.g. `./src/bitcoind -datadir=/tmp/bitcoin -regtest -conf=/tmp/bitcoin/regtest/bitcoin.conf` and the specified config cannot be opened (doesn't exist, permission denied, ...), the initialization silently uses the default config.
As voidburn already noted:
> I can't think of a situation in which a config file is specified explicitly (in the startup options, as per service unit linked above), but inaccessible, where the fail condition should be to keep booting using defaults instead.
With this patch applied, the initialization will fail immediately, if the specified config file cannot be opened. If no config file is explicitly specified, the behavior is unchanged. This not only affects `bitcoind`, but also `bitcoin-cli` and `bitcoin-qt`.
In the example below the datadir is accessible, but the config file is not due to insufficient permissions:
```
$ ./src/bitcoind -datadir=/tmp/bitcoin -regtest --debug=1 -conf=/tmp/bitcoin/regtest/bitcoin.conf
Error: Error reading configuration file: specified config file "/tmp/bitcoin/regtest/bitcoin.conf" could not be opened.

Pull request description:
This PR adds a DNS seed to the regtest chain params to enable testing the DNS seed querying logic of `CConnman::ThreadDNSAddressSeed` and relevant startup parameters. Adds coverage for the changes in #22013 (and then some).
The main behavioral change to bitcoind is that this PR disallows starting up with conflicting parameters for `-dnsseed` and `-forcednsseed`.
The tests include:
* parameter interactions of different combinations of `-connect`, `-dnsseed` and `-forcednsseed`
* the delay before querying DNS seeds depending on how many addresses are in the addrman
* the behavior of `-forcednsseed`
* skipping DNS querying if we have outbound full relay connections & not block-relay-only connections
Huge props to mzumsande for identifying the timing technique for testing successful connections before running `ThreadDNSAddressSeed` 🙌🏽

This commit introduces a DNS seed to the regest chain params in order to add
coverage to the DNS querying logic.
The first test checks that we do not query DNS seeds if we are able to
succesfully connect to 2 outbound connections. Since we participate in ADDR
relay with those connections, including sending a GETADDR message during the
VERSION handshake, querying the DNS seeds is unnecessary.

This prevents the node from trying to connect to random IPs on the internet
while running the functional tests. Exceptions are added when required for
the test to pass.
Every (sub)test in the framework assumes the node is running, except for
the (sub)tests in this file. Remove that confusion by stopping the node
at the start of every subtest, instead of at the end.

- Make tests more readable, replacing unexplained `""` string literals with `default_wallet_name` references
- Make it trivial to update default wallet name and wallet data filename for sqlite #19077 testing
- Stop relying on `-wallet` arguments to create wallets, so it is easy to change `-wallet` option in the future to only load existing wallets not create new ones (to avoid accidental wallet creation, and encourage use of wallet encryption and descriptor features)
