Fix E2E sync test failures after dropping eth66/67 support by Copilot · Pull Request #10095 · NethermindEth/nethermind

Copilot · 2026-01-04T09:47:14Z

Changes

Keep NodeData capability in test environments to fix P2P protocol negotiation failures
Modified PseudoNetworkModule.cs to preserve all default capabilities (eth/68, eth/69, nodedata/1) for E2E tests
Reverted E2ESyncTests.cs to original state (no snap serving configuration changes)

Notes on testing

E2E sync tests (FullSync, FastSync, SnapSync) were failing with "ConnectionClosed channel disconnected" errors after dropping eth66/67 from default capabilities.

Root cause: PseudoNetworkModule was removing NodeData capability when HashServer is null (true for non-Hash DB modes), leaving test nodes with only eth/68 and eth/69. This minimal capability set caused P2P handshake failures.

Solution: Commented out the capability removal logic in PseudoNetworkModule.cs to preserve all default capabilities (eth/68, eth/69, nodedata/1) in test environments, ensuring robust protocol negotiation for E2E tests.

Note: This is a test-specific fix. The capability removal logic may still be appropriate for production environments.

...

Fixed in commit 03e34cc.

The issue was that unconditionally enabling SnapServingEnabled caused failures for Hash DB mode where SnapServer is null. Now snap serving is only enabled for non-Hash DB modes (Default and NoPruning), preventing ReadTimeoutException when snap protocol tries to use a null SnapServer.

Fixed in commit 590d5c8.

The issue was that PseudoNetworkModule was removing NodeData capability when HashServer is null, leaving nodes with only eth/68 and eth/69. Commented out the capability removal logic to keep all default capabilities (eth/68, eth/69, nodedata/1) in test environments, ensuring successful P2P protocol negotiation.
