The HexBytes wrapper type handles decoding byte strings from JSON. In the RPC
API, hashes are encoded as hex digits rather than the standard base64.
Simplify the implementation of this wrapper using the TextMarshaler interface,
which the encoding/json package uses for values (like these) that are meant to
be wrapped in JSON strings.
In addition, allow HexBytes values to be decoded from either hex OR base64
input. This preserves all existing use, but will allow us to remove some
reflection special cases in the RPC decoder plumbing.
Update tests to correctly tolerate empty/nil.
As written, the encoding step unnecessarily made and moved multiple copies of
the encoded representation. Reduce this to a single allocation and encode the
data in-place so that a shift is no longer required.
Also: Add a test to ensure letter digits are capitalized, which was previously not
verified but was expected downstream.
No functional changes.
This is the first iteration of model-based testing in Go Tendermint. The test runner is using the static JSON fixtures located under the ./json directory. In the future, the Rust tensgen binary will be used to generate those (given the static intermediate scenarios and the test seed, which will be published along with each testgen release).
