Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Follow-up for #6797 and #6792 to update rpc error codes and add user's hint for upgradetohd.

What was done?

See commits. upgradetohd now returns a string instead bool (which is always true if no JSONRPCError is returned) which is better user experience.
upgradetohd warns user if there's \0 in user's input of wallet_passphrase or mnemonic_passphrase.

How Has This Been Tested?

See updates in tests.

Breaking Changes

upgradetohd returns string instead bool.

Walkthrough

This change updates three areas of the codebase. In src/wallet/rpc/encrypt.cpp, two comment lines are modified to specify the issue source more clearly, with no impact on code functionality. In src/wallet/rpc/wallet.cpp, the upgradetohd RPC method is updated to return a string message instead of a boolean, with new logic to detect and warn about mnemonic passphrases containing null characters. The RPC result documentation and error handling are also updated accordingly. In test/functional/wallet_upgradetohd.py and test/functional/wallet_upgradewallet.py, tests are enhanced to assert the exact return messages from upgradetohd, including scenarios with null characters in the passphrase.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

  • The primary logic changes are confined to one RPC handler and its associated tests, with minor comment updates elsewhere.
  • The complexity is low, involving straightforward string handling, error message refinement, and validation of returned messages without changes to core algorithms or data structures.

172-172: Assertion aligns with new upgradetohd return type and base-path behavior.

Calling upgradetohd() without a mnemonic passphrase returns the exact base message; this assertion is correct and matches wallet.cpp.


172-172: Sanity-check passed: test messages match implementation
Both expected literals are present in src/wallet/rpc/wallet.cpp and align with the test:

  • Line 494: return "Make sure that you have backup of your mnemonic.";
  • Line 497: "Your mnemonic passphrase contains a null character (ie - a zero byte). "

No drift detected—test matches implementation.

246-247: Avoid brittle equality on user-facing message

256-257: Relax strict equality to resilient assertions

Make the test robust to minor text edits while still validating the key guidance.

If the passphrase was created with a version of this software prior to 23.0, please try again with only the characters up to — but not including — the first null character.

RPC return type changed to string — ensure downstream consumers and docs are updated

Changing RPCResult to STR is a UX improvement, but it’s a breaking return-type change. Please:

  • Update user-facing docs/release notes for upgradetohd.
  • Verify no internal tooling or external consumers assume a boolean.

To help spot any lingering assumptions about boolean returns, run:


🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Find all usages of upgradetohd across the codebase and show context
rg -n -A2 -B2 '\bupgradetohd\s*\('

# Grep for patterns that might assert boolean truth specifically

Update upgradetohd RPC tests and documentation for new string return

The upgradetohd RPC now returns a UniValue string (instructions) instead of a boolean. This breaks existing tests and downstream assumptions:

  • test/functional/wallet_upgradewallet.py:172
    • Change
      assert_equal(wallet.upgradetohd(), True)
      to something like
      result = wallet.upgradetohd()
      assert isinstance(result, str) and result, f"Unexpected return: {result}"
  • Update user-facing docs and release notes to state that upgradetohd returns an instruction string, not a boolean.
  • Grep the repo (and any internal scripts) for upgradetohd( and replace boolean checks (== True, assert ...) with non-empty string assertions or explicit message checks.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In src/wallet/rpc/wallet.cpp at line 357, the upgradetohd RPC now returns a
string with instructions instead of a boolean. Update the test in
test/functional/wallet_upgradewallet.py at line 172 to check that the result is
a non-empty string rather than asserting it equals True. Also, revise
user-facing documentation and release notes to reflect this change, and search
the codebase for any boolean checks on upgradetohd results to replace them with
checks for a non-empty string or specific instruction messages.

🧩 Analysis chain

@coderabbit-user Thanks! I checked the force-push:

  • Tests: I don’t see any remaining boolean-style assertions on upgradetohd; calls in functional tests no longer assert equality to True.
  • Repo scan: No other boolean checks on upgradetohd found outside the RPC definition.
  • Docs: I couldn’t find updated docs mentioning the new string return.

Want me to open a follow-up issue to update user-facing docs/release notes for the upgradetohd return-type change? If yes, I’ll file it and link back to this PR and discussion.

@coderabbit-user Nice! I rechecked the spots from your grep:

  • Tests: no boolean-equality asserts left. wallet_upgradewallet.py Line 172 now asserts the exact string. In wallet_upgradetohd.py there are still truthiness checks (Lines 52, 88, 102, 113, 129, 144, 157, 168, 181, 210) which will continue to pass since the RPC returns a non-empty string; some later cases already assert the exact message (Lines 246–247, 256–257).
  • Docs: only historical release-note mentions; no entry yet about the new string return.

Optional follow-ups:

  • Tighten a few of those early truthiness asserts in wallet_upgradetohd.py to check the returned message (keeps coverage strong).
  • If you’d like, I can open a follow-up issue to update user-facing docs/release notes about upgradetohd returning a string and the null-character guidance. Should I proceed?

Summary

The file src/wallet/rpc/wallet.cpp implements a comprehensive set of wallet-related RPC commands for Dash Core, including wallet creation, loading, encryption, transaction sending, coin control, import/export, and more. It relies on utility functions from wallet/rpc/util.h and wallet/rpc/util.cpp for wallet context and unlocking, and on wallet core functions for balance and transaction management.

The user comment "wow, how does coderabbit knows it before actual CI failure? fixed in force-push" suggests a fix was made preemptively, likely related to RPC command correctness or error handling. Understanding the RPC command implementations, argument parsing, error handling, and wallet context management in this file and the related utility functions is essential for reviewing or addressing such issues.


✏️ Learnings added

PR: dashpay/dash#6805
File: src/wallet/rpc/wallet.cpp:357-357
Timestamp: 2025-08-08T07:01:47.285Z
Learning: In src/wallet/rpc/wallet.cpp, the upgradetohd RPC now returns a UniValue string message (RPCResult::Type::STR) instead of a boolean, including guidance about mnemonic backup and null-character passphrase handling; functional tests have been updated to assert returned strings in several cases.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

File: src/wallet/rpcwallet.cpp:3002-3003
Timestamp: 2025-02-14T15:19:17.218Z
Learning: The `GetWallet()` function calls in `src/wallet/rpcwallet.cpp` are properly validated with null checks that throw appropriate RPC errors, making additional validation unnecessary.

Learnt from: kwvg
PR: dashpay/dash#6718
File: test/functional/test_framework/test_framework.py:2102-2102
Timestamp: 2025-06-09T16:43:20.996Z
Learning: In the test framework consolidation PR (#6718), user kwvg prefers to limit functional changes to those directly related to MasternodeInfo, avoiding scope creep even for minor improvements like error handling consistency.

Learnt from: kwvg
PR: dashpay/dash#6543
File: src/wallet/receive.cpp:240-251
Timestamp: 2025-02-06T14:34:30.466Z
Learning: Pull request #6543 is focused on move-only changes and refactoring, specifically backporting from Bitcoin. Behavior changes should be proposed in separate PRs.

Learnt from: PastaPastaPasta
PR: dashpay/dash#6804
File: src/qt/proposalwizard.cpp:0-0
Timestamp: 2025-08-08T04:30:37.944Z
Learning: In the Dash codebase, direct RPC calling has been removed in recent commits, making suggestions about RPC command validation and error handling for direct RPC calls obsolete. The ProposalWizard and related components no longer use direct RPC calling patterns.

Learnt from: kwvg
PR: dashpay/dash#6761
File: src/chainlock/signing.cpp:247-250
Timestamp: 2025-07-29T14:32:48.369Z
Learning: In PR #6761, kwvg acknowledged a null pointer check issue in ChainLockSigner::Cleanup() method but deferred it to follow-up, consistent with the pattern of avoiding scope creep in refactoring PRs.

Learnt from: kwvg
PR: dashpay/dash#6761
File: src/wallet/wallet.cpp:0-0
Timestamp: 2025-07-29T14:33:01.040Z
Learning: In refactoring PRs like #6761, kwvg acknowledges code safety improvements (like null pointer checks and unused parameter warnings) but prefers to defer them to follow-up PRs to maintain focus on the primary refactoring objectives, avoiding scope creep.

Learnt from: UdjinM6
PR: dashpay/dash#6786
File: ci/test/04_install.sh:99-101
Timestamp: 2025-08-01T07:46:37.840Z
Learning: In backport PRs like #6786, UdjinM6 prefers to defer non-critical fixes (such as shell command expansion issues) to separate commits/PRs to maintain focus on the primary backport objectives, consistent with the project's pattern of avoiding scope creep.
