const MIN_BLOCKS_MINED_AFTER_CHECKPOINT_UPDATE: u32 = 10;
Expand description

The minimum number of extra blocks mined between updating a checkpoint list, and running an automated test that depends on that list.

Makes sure that the block finalization code always runs in sync tests, even if the miner or test node clock is wrong by a few minutes.

This is an estimate based on the time it takes to:

  • get the tip height from zcashd,
  • run zebra-checkpoints to update the checkpoint list,
  • submit a pull request, and
  • run a CI test that logs progress based on the new checkpoint height.

We might add tests that sync from a cached tip state, so we only allow a few extra blocks here.
