Add Wallet Restore in the GUI #471

w0xlt · 2021-11-14T06:22:27Z

This PR adds a menu item to restore a wallet from a backup file in the GUI.
Currently this option exists only in RPC interface.

Motivation: It makes easier for non-technical users to restore backups.

Concept ACK

I am going to do a full tested review in some time.
It would help to add the screenshots of the difference between the master branch and the PR branch in the description.

In the meantime, here's one nit I caught.

Tested Successfully on Ubuntu 20.04

I was able to successfully load the wallet from the wallet.dat file using the menu option introduced in this PR.

Changes since my last review:

Addressed following suggestions: 1, 2
Added translator comment for strings displayed on the user’s side.

The translator comment looks good and helps significantly clarify the meaning and purpose of each string. I have some suggestions for the translator comment, though, that you might consider, to improve upon these comments.

Changes since my last review:

Translator comments are updated according to this suggestion.

I think this PR is functionally correct now. However, there are some formatting corrections I would like to suggest. (p.s. Sorry, I forgot to check formatting in my earlier reviews of this PR.)

To automatically correct formatting, you can use the following line of code:

git diff -U0 HEAD~1.. | ./contrib/devtools/clang-format-diff.py -p1 -i -v

This duplicates new RPC functionality. Please first abstract the RPC code so GUI can share it instead of duplicating it.

Also, I think it would be better to handle error conditions nicer before exposing this to the GUI. For example, we should detect if the wallet is already present and error if so. If an error occurs, we should delete the copy-destination file we made.

w0xlt · 2021-12-09T02:59:59Z

d021bf9 modifies the restoredwallet() RPC to reuse the wallet code and also deletes the wallet folder if the reload fails, as suggested in #471 (review) .

A separate PR (bitcoin/bitcoin#23721) has been opened in the Bitcoin repository to change files that are not GUI related, as suggested in #471 (comment)

@promag Mind having a look into this PR?

furszy

Tested and code reviewed e681634

Found the following issue:

The restored signal is being processed prior to the full execution of addWallet (walletAdded signal slot), which causes a mismatch where the GUI shows the frame of the recently loaded wallet without updating the wallet selector (the top right combo box) nor the window title.

It seems to be happening because QT lowers the addWallet execution priority while is creating the new WalletView object.

It can be fixed by making the restored signal connection a Qt::QueuedConnection type.
In other words, patch:

Concept ACK, could use a release note

shaavan

Changes since my last review:

renamed walletName → wallet_name
renamed walletNameOk → wallet_name_ok
The connection between restored and set current wallet has been changed to Qt::QueuedConnection, which is explained in this comment Add Wallet Restore in the GUI #471 (review)). On a side note, a very nice catch of bug indeed, @furszy!
The backup wallet and restore wallet options are grouped in a menu group.
Declared class path.h at the beginning of walletcontroller.h to facilitate using fs::path.

I successfully compiled this PR on Ubuntu 22.04 with Qt version 5.15.3. I was able to test that the backup wallet and restore wallet are visually grouped in the GUI.

Screenshot:

I agree with @jarolrod. Adding release notes would be a good idea!
