Wladimir J. van der Laan 3fd0c2336a Merge #13273: Qt/Bugfix: fix handling default wallet with no name
13c3a659c0 Qt/Bugfix: fix handling default wallet with no name (João Barbosa)

Pull request description:

  If one loads a wallet via RPC (`loadwallet w2`), then select w2, select back to the default wallet (which is an empty string), that default wallet cannot be access through the RPC console because the current code only points to the wallet endpoint if the wallet name is not empty.

  This is a quick fix that reenables accessing the default wallet in case an additional wallet has been loaded.

  Using "" for the default wallet may not be ideal in other cases and it may make more sense to change it at a deeper level (wallet.cpp). See discussion here which where the reasons for the current behaviour in master:

This directory contains the BitcoinQT graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the cross-platform framework Qt.

The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk. Qt 4 is also supported (see #8263).

Compile and run

See build instructions (OSX, Windows, Unix, etc).

To run:

./src/qt/bitcoin-qt

Files and directories

forms

Contains Designer UI files. They are created with Qt Creator, but can be edited using any text editor.

locale

Contains translations. They are periodically updated. The process is described here.

res

Resources such as the icon.

test

Tests.

bitcoingui.(h/cpp)

Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.

*model.(h/cpp)

The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.

ClientModel is used by the main application bitcoingui and several models like peertablemodel.

*page.(h/cpp)

A controller. :NAMEpage.cpp generally includes :NAMEmodel.h and forms/:NAME.page.ui with a similar :NAME.

*dialog.(h/cpp)

Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.

paymentserver.(h/cpp)

Used to process BIP21 and BIP70 (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11622) payment URI / requests. Also handles URI based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).

walletview.(h/cpp)

Represents the view to a single wallet.

Other .h/cpp files

  • UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.
  • bitcoinstrings.cpp: automatically generated
  • bitcoinunits.(h/cpp): BTC / mBTC / etc handling
  • callback.h
  • guiconstants.h: UI colors, app name, etc
  • guiutil.h: several helper functions
  • macdockiconhandler.(h/cpp)
  • macdockiconhandler.(h/cpp): display notifications in OSX

Using Qt Creator as IDE

You can use Qt Creator as an IDE. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.

Download and install the community edition of Qt Creator. Uncheck everything except Qt Creator during the installation process.

Instructions for OSX:

  1. Make sure you installed everything through Homebrew mentioned in the OSX build instructions
  2. Use ./configure with the --enable-debug flag
  3. In Qt Creator do "New Project" -> Import Project -> Import Existing Project
  4. Enter "bitcoin-qt" as project name, enter src/qt as location
  5. Leave the file selection as it is
  6. Confirm the "summary page"
  7. In the "Projects" tab select "Manage Kits..."
  8. Select the default "Desktop" kit and select "Clang (x86 64bit in /usr/bin)" as compiler
  9. Select LLDB as debugger (you might need to set the path to your installation)
  10. Start debugging with Qt Creator (you might need to the executable to "bitcoin-qt" under "Run", which is where you can also add command line arguments)
