test_control_plugin

Overview

The test_control_plugin is designed to facilitate internal tests of a nodeos instance. The current functionality allows a controlled and graceful nodeos shutdown when a specific block is reached within a sequence of blocks generated by a designated block producer. This is intended for testing, to determine exactly when a nodeos instance will shutdown.

ℹ️ The test_control_plugin can be utilized to initiate a shutdown either based on the head block, which refers to the most recent block, or the last irreversible block, which represents the block that has achieved irreversible finality.

The test_control_plugin also implements the core functionality provided by the Test Control API plugin.
