Fixed unit tests by removing `birthdate` field in seed URs. #39

Closed wolfmcnally closed 3 years ago

wolfmcnally commented 3 years ago

Removed birthdate field from generated ur:crypto-seed URs, which was causing unit tests to become invalid. A specific flag to set the birthdate field could be added at a later date.
Bumped version number to 0.9.1

Part of the reason why I liked the birthdate field in some tests was to make sure that if there was data beyond the crypto-seed and the reader didn't know what it was, it would properly ignore it.

Are there still unit tests that still include testing that?

No, this PR completely disables the birthdate generation.

The unit tests never tested the birthdate feature. But I did not remove the birthdate field from the CBOR, I simply don't set it now. The problem was that the birthdate field was being set from the system clock, which means that the generated URs weren't truly deterministic. If we want to fully support birthdate in the future, we will simply add a flag that allows either setting the birthdate CBOR field from the system clock or by providing its value on the command line.
