- `TransactionReceipt.blockHash` is optional
- Block.number is optional (in case node doesn’t return this in the event)
- Refactor confirmations waiting such that there is no polling for a receipt at the start
- Make BlockHandler and SubscriptionHandler async
- change casing of constants
- change return type checking of contract method to check for `Confirmable` instead of `?TransactionRepsonse`
- Reduce miner sleep to 10ms
- Change `wait` and `Waitable` to `confirm` and `Confirmable` to avoid conflict with chrono’s `.wait`.
- Update params on `.confirm` so that the compiler can restrict values of the `int` to `Positive` and `Natural`.
- Add `Block` and `TransactionReceipt` conversion tests to test for missing block number and block hash.
- Add tests for confirmation calculations and determining if a tx has been mined from its receipt.
- Assume that blockNumber returned from node will be null or empty string, in which case we can parse as 0 and test for that condition.
Allow waiting for a specified number of confirmations for contract transactions.
This change only requires an optional TransactionResponse return type to be added to the contract function. This allows the transaction hash to be passed to `.wait`.
For example, previously the `mint` method looked like this without a return value:
```
method mint(token: TestToken, holder: Address, amount: UInt256) {.base, contract.}
```
it still works without a return value, but if we want to wait for a 3 confirmations, we can now define it like this:
```
method mint(token: TestToken, holder: Address, amount: UInt256): ?TransactionResponse {.base, contract.}
```
and use like this:
```
let receipt = await token.connect(signer0)
.mint(accounts[1], 100.u256)
.wait(3) # wait for 3 confirmations
```
Allows specified number of transaction confirmations to be awaited before a transaction is considered finalised. Polls for a transaction receipt then listens for new blocks and calculates the number of blocks between the receipt and the new block.
Notes
1. Only works with websockets currently
2. Replaced transaction not supported yet
Ensures that even when a call to the ethereum node to
unsubscribe fails, it will release the memory associated
with the subscription, including the subscription handler
closure.
