Altering blockinfo to include valid nonce and extraNonce's in the miner_tests

Altering blockinfo to include valid nonce and extraNonce's in the miner_tests I currently work on upgrading an old cryptocurrency (fork of an old bitcoin version) to the latest of Bitcoin that includes a lot of tests. I currently am stuck with making this test succeed: http://ift.tt/2BYw5RB I believe this issue is because of the hardcoded data in blockinfo (see: http://ift.tt/2l4s45O ) How do I get blockinfo to update with the right nonce and extraNonce? I tried different things, including trying to increase the pblock->nNonce by 1 until I hit the right PoW target, but for some reason pblock->GetPoWHash() didn't change after that. Thanks! http://ift.tt/2kOz9Iy
