Showing Local Addresses in Node Window

jadijadi commented at 1:56 pm on June 29, 2022: contributor

This change adds a new row to the Node Window (debugwindow.ui) under the Network section which shows the LocalAddresses.

fixes #564

jarolrod added the label UX on Jun 29, 2022

jadijadi commented at 2:16 pm on June 29, 2022: contributor

I’ve got this from the linter:

0he locale dependent function std::to_string(...) appears to be used:
1src/qt/rpcconsole.cpp:        localAddresses += item.first.ToString() + ":" + std::to_string(item.second.nPort) + ", ";
2
3Unnecessary locale depedence can cause bugs that are very tricky to isolate and fix. Please avoid using locale dependent functions if possible.

Not sure how I should convert from int to string correctly. Any advice?

furszy commented at 5:09 pm on July 1, 2022:

I actually pointed to the previous state on purpose. My main suggestion was to encapsulate the mutex and mapLocalHost access in the backend, which is Qt/GUI independent. So cannot use QString from there. Need to craft a plain std::string, then convert it to QString once it passes through the model class or directly in the widget.

jadijadi commented at 9:51 am on July 4, 2022:

Dear @furszy thanks for the valuable input. Applied most of them except this encapsulation part. I understand your rational and I think it’s a better design. But since the number of connections are also calculated here, I did the same with Local Address. Since I’m leaving for a 10 day off the grid trip, I submitted a new commit (squashed) with these chagnes:

removed the extra new line
used your better loop for “, " additions
removed unnecessary comments (kept the one from @jarolrod)

Thanks @jarolrod for the inputs and fixes and reviews.

Dear @furszy thanks for the valuable input. Applied most of them except this encapsulation part. I understand your rational and I think it’s a better design. But since the number of connections are also calculated here, I did the same with Local Address.

The connections aren’t calculated here (on the widget, as you are doing for the external addresses). It’s encapsulated inside the connections manager. The flow is the following one: widget -> model -> node -> conman.

updateNetworkState calls clientModel->getNumConnections which calls the interface node.getNodeCount, which calls the connection manager.

Let’s try to respect the different layers, encapsulating access where is possible, to get cleaner code to work with. (If you need a hand with it, feel very welcome to ping me on IRC)

jadijadi commented at 6:45 am on May 22, 2024:

Thanks. Did the flow as you said. Now we are querying layer by layer. Please comment if it still needs improvement. I decided to pass the std::map<CNetAddr, LocalServiceInfo> to keep it flexible enough for different use cases; for example in this specific usecase (showing IPs in GUI), i was able to do check for “IsI2P” on CNetAddrs.

to fix the linter issue arrising from std::to_string(item.second.nPort), and keeping in mind that local_addresses is now a QString:

Aside from the code comments, there is an important topic to mention:

Let’s not access fields from the net layer in a GUI widget/view, the sources architecture is (should be) widget -> model -> interface -> backend.

Better to create the proper flow to access the information that you are looking for: rpcconsole -> clientModel -> node interface -> net layer.

In this way, the field access is encapsulated, layers responsibilities are respected and the same function can be used, and tested, from other user facing end points like the RPC server equally.

thanks for the checks & ACK @shaavan . I kept the label_14 in accordance in most of other fields which had the same pattern.

regarding the listening port, you can test with something like (for testnet):

0testnet=1
1blocksonly=1
2[test]
3#prune=1000 # this has no effect during syncing
4externalip=100.200.100.10
5rpcbind=127.0.0.1
6rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
7rpcuser=user
8rpcpassword=pass

as your bitcoin.conf to force a listening IP.

Concept ACK

I agree with showing the Local Address on the Information Tab.
I successfully compiled the PR on Ubuntu 22.04 with Qt version 5.15.3.
I was able to verify that the Local Address option is displayed correctly on the Information Tab.

Screenshot:

Currently, I am figuring out how to add local addresses to check if they are displayed correctly. It would be awesome if someone could point towards documentation on how to do so.

shaavan approved

ACK c47f01bf25e1353b51c24b9b31260a539a394b1a

Continuing on my previous review:

I was able to add local addresses successfully and tested that those were displayed perfectly on the GUI under the Local Address option.

Method of testing:

I added the following options in the bitcoin.conf file.

0[signet]
1externalip=100.200.100.11
2externalip=100.200.100.10
3externalip=100.200.100.12

The IP addresses, along with the port number, appeared in the GUI.

Screenshot: Screenshot from 2022-07-09 19-36-14

Note: The IP:port appears in the sorted order irrespective of the order provided in the bitcoin.conf file. This behavior is the same as the -netinfo RPC command.

Screenshot:

Thanks, @jadijadi, for the help on adding the listening ports!

In terms of the UI itself, I’d use the plural form “Local Addresses”, as @jarolrod also pointed it out, to be consistent with the getnetworkinfo rpc command output.

AFAIK Tor hidden services do still have port numbers

Also, please split the interfaces changes into a different commit than the GUI changes.

Might be a good improvement to cherry-pick e4fddc9f395819d0bdf74003676aa563929756fa and use it to update; in testing, I found myself watching for None to change, but it never did because the string isn’t updated.

This will avoid including the backend net.h file in all the gui files that are already including clientmodel.h.

Ideally, net.h structs/classes shouldn’t be accesible by the GUI widgets. But no prob, it seems we are already including it in rpcconsole.h too.

jadijadi commented at 1:50 pm on August 1, 2024:

Thanks @furszy , this looks better. Applied it and pushed the new version with not net.h and with the struct only; as you suggested.

luke-jr commented at 6:31 pm on August 1, 2024:

You changed the net.h stuff in the second commit, after adding it in the first

Maybe add a QLabel hint describing what “local addresses” are for GUI users? (and/or use another term for them).

Any suggestion? English is not my first language. Something like “Addresses where Bitcoin Core binds to”? On DataDir we have the tooltip on the value column. I’ll also keep it like that.

DrahtBot removed the label CI failed on Aug 1, 2024

Perhaps any of these (or a combination):

Each local address broadcast by this node.
IP addresses of your local machine or network interface that the node uses to connect to the Bitcoin network
Network addresses that your Bitcoin node is currently using to communicate with other nodes.

net: Providing an interface for mapLocalHost

Contributes to #564 by providing an interface for mapLocalHost
through net -> node interface -> clientModel. Later this value can be
read by GUI to show the local addresses.

Showing local addresses on the Node Window

Adds a new row to the Node Window (debugwindow.ui)
under the Network section which shows the LocalAddresses.
