    Some Bitcoin Core activity is completely local (offline), e.g., reindexing.

    The setnetworkactive RPC command is already present. This PR adds the corresponding command-line argument / config option, and allows to start the client with disabled p2p network by providing -networkactive=0 or -nonetworkactive.

    This was done while reviewing #16981.

    There was an idea to overload -noconnect with this. #15900 (comment)

    No opinion on that, though.

    Concept ACK on adding the functionality.

    LarryRuane commented at 1:05 am on July 13, 2020:
    The open-quote character before setnetworkactive is a back-quote, but the close-quote character is a regular single-quote. There is one other place in this file that uses back-quote characters (addnode), but there they are balanced (back-quote for both open-quote and close-quote).
    hebasto commented at 10:24 am on July 17, 2020:

    https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Quote-Characters.html

    TBH, I’m opposite to using back-quote characters for both opening and closing quotes. If you believe that quotes should be balanced, could they be '?

    jonatack commented at 10:37 am on July 17, 2020:
    ISTM the most common practice ATM is neither quotes nor backticks for RPC commands in the bitcoind help, e.g. bitcoind -help | grep "pruneblockchain\|getrawtransaction"

    Nice PR! I tested various combinations:

    • bitcoind -networkactive
    • bitcoind -networkactive=1
    • bitcoind -networkactive=0
    • bitcoind -nonetworkactive

    and the behavior was as expected (the first two enabled and the second two disabled networking). I also verified that after disabling networking on the command line, I could change it in both directions using the setnetworkactive RPC.

    I think it’s okay that there’s no unit test, because this is test code anyway, and there’s no easy place to add one. The only thing bad that could happen is networking isn’t enabled by default, and that would be noticed right away!

    If you can fix that tiny quote problem, I’d be happy to approve.

    @LarryRuane

    The only thing bad that could happen is networking isn’t enabled by default, and that would be noticed right away!

    I think it is enabled by default :)

  8. LarryRuane commented at 3:25 am on July 15, 2020: contributor

    I think it is enabled by default :)

    Yes, sorry, my comment wasn’t clear; I just meant that without a test, a bug in this PR could conceivably make networking disabled by default. But, as I said, that would be pretty obvious, so I’m not worried! Plus, now that I think about it, there are numerous existing tests that would fail. So never mind. I was just trying to support your decision not to include a test.
