Adds back the watch on contract events and writes them to a file
with the same method as contract logs from transaction-logger, so
I extracted those methods to utils/file so that both could use the
same functions.
This only affected the demo. We somehow put the `enableEthereum()`
call right before the Demo `set` function, so since we now throw
when it's not available, it stopped the `set`. But it was never
needed because demo has `autoEnadble` on, meaning that `enable` is
called at the start.
Make various related changes to templates, tests, etc. The methodology for
finding files that needed changes was to search through the whole monorepo for
the strings "solc" and "solidity" and then inspect the hits to see whether
changes were needed/appropriate.
Remove `solc` as a dependency in `packages/embark/package.json` so that it's
only a proper dependency in `packages/plugins/solidity/package.json`. Adjust
how the "bundled" `solc` package's version is determined, i.e. inspect the
`package.json` of `embark-solidity` instead of `embark`.
When `solc`'s version is `>=0.6.0` use the [new callback API][api].

Add option in communication config to choose which Whisper client to use.
Because Parity’s implementation of Whisper is not compatible with Whisper v6, and therefore web3.js in its current form, the following changes have been made:
1. remove any functionality associated with launching a Parity Whisper process.
2. Warn the user when the Parity Whisper client has been opted for in the communication config.
3. Return an error for API calls when Parity Whisper client has been opted for in the communication config.
4. Update Cockpit’s Communication module to show errors returned from API calls.
5. Update the messaging configuration documentation for the new communication client option.
Users can turn of blockchain support if they want to using the blockchain.js
configuration. In practice however, this has never properly worked as several
places in Embark's codebase weren't actually honoring that configuration value.
This commit introduces the necessary changes so that disabling blockchain support will:
No longer generate blockchain related EmbarkJS artifacts
No longer try to deploy Smart Contracts but still compile them
Client traffic with the communication provider node, e.g. a whisper node, is
not proxied so make the default port 8547 instead of 8557. It's not a technical
problem for it to be 8557, but our convention to present has been for 855*
ports to be proxied while the upstream is an 854* port.
Update the boilerplate and demo templates to match.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Related to #1985. Prior to Embark's minimum supported version of Node.js being
bumped to to 10.17.0, Embark was incompatible with any relatively recent
release of the `ipfs-http-client` package.
While *internal* changes are needed re: ipfs's `Buffer` export for
e.g. `embark_demo` to function correctly *(and this PR makes those changes)*,
Embark otherwise runs/tests okay.
Keep in mind #2033.
However, if a dApp author were to explicitly `require('ifps-api')` in the
front-end that wouldn't work as before; and swapping `"ipfs-http-client"` for
`"ipfs-api"` might also not be enough — there are API changes that dApp authors
would need to consider, regardless of Embark presently supplying the dependency
and EmbarkJS wrapping around it.
Closes#1994.
As part of the refactor in e330b338ea we've introduced a
second geth client process to enable whisper functionalities in DApps.
This introduced also a new default port for whisper (e330b338ea (diff-a61fbc84e4172487789d676437f26b5fR14)).
This default port has not been introduced on our boilerplate template which is
used in `embark new` when developers scaffold new apps.
This resulted in runtime errors where the geth process for whisper wasn't
able to successfuly boot up as its configured port address is already in use:
```
geth exited with error code 1
geth exited with error code 1
Blockchain process ended before the end of this process. Try running blockchain in a separate process using `$ embark blockchain`. Code: null
```
This commit changes the default port for whisper in the boilerplate template
to ensure apps created using `embark new` don't run into this error anymore.
