…es (#3234) Closes #3233 This PR is is to be interpreted commit by commit. * Commit 1: Changes in `e2e runner to repro the problem (these changes will stay). * Commit 2. Making the problem repro appear in this PR (look at the ❌ next to commit 2 below, and check the `e2e` logs) * Commit 3: Fix. (look at the ✅ next to commit 3 below) * Commit 4: Revert commit 2 * Commit 5: Adapt nightlies to start running all regression manifests in (newly introduced) `test/e2e/networks_regressions` directory. Also, adapt manifest generator to create testnets with more evidences. * Further commits: fix e2e infra The reproduction consists in coming up with a testnet where some evidences can be delayed in their transit to the next validator, long enough to become invalid (too old). The delay is achieved by having a validator with skewed clock, in such a way that every time it proposes (untimely proposal) other peers shut down their p2p connection with that validator. The validator having the skewed clock is the one receiving all evidences. The root cause is that, in `e2e`, the max age of evidence is too restrictive (500ms in time, and 7 heights in terms blocks). So, if the gossiping of transactions is delayed, some of them are too old when they arrive to the first validator that can propose them. The fix consists in relaxing the max age of evidences in `e2e`: 1500ms, or 14 heights. Without the fix, the e2e run fails almost every time. With the fix, I haven't been able to repro it after multiple attempts. --- #### PR checklist - [x] Tests written/updated - ~~[ ] Changelog entry added in `.changelog` (we use [unclog](https://github.com/informalsystems/unclog) to manage our changelog)~~ - ~~[ ] Updated relevant documentation (`docs/` or `spec/`) and code comments~~ - [x] Title follows the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) spec (cherry picked from commit bb6c702) # Conflicts: # .github/workflows/e2e-nightly-1x.yml # .github/workflows/e2e-nightly-38x.yml # test/e2e/generator/generate.go # test/e2e/networks/ci.toml
