There were two large holes in the existing offline server handling: 1. It didn't include IPs, so scripts that used IPs instead of hostnames would get exceptions thrown for "server not found." 2. Coverage was very low for non-Darknet APIs. Maybe most of them don't need to be covered, but many obvious ones like "ps", "killall" and "hasRootAccess" were missing. IMO the only reliable answer is one that enforces *all* are covered via the type system. To accomplish the second part, helpers.getServer() was changed to return null when a server is offline. This intentionally breaks a lot of its utility, which was to return a server unconditionally. To compensate, its utility was increased - it now also does unknown argument processing, allowing it to subsume a common line that all callers were repeating. Some callers switched to ctx.workerScript.getServer(), because they didn't actually need to be using helpers.getServer(). Similarly, a few callsites switched to GetServerOrThrow(), for the cases where it should be guaranteed that the server is valid. The rest are returning a default/failure response when the server is offline. (Except for contracts, which threw on failure already anyway.)

Generate a dummy contract on the current server with no reward. Used to test various algorithms.
|
|
|
|
This function will return null and not generate a contract if the randomized contract name is the same as another contract's name or the host is offline.
