The testconsensus project is not integral to the Bitcoin Core code. It was originally added as a quick and dirty demo of how to do a consensus check with the msvc build. There are better examples. PR bitcoin#23438 made a change that caused a compiler error with the buildmsvc/testconsensus code. Rather than leave it hanging around to incur potential bitrot, or furhter PR build failures, it should be removed.

I think another issue was that there was no error message in the CI log. Obviously unrelated to removing this file, but having error messages makes debugging this easier in the future. |
