Upgrade all dependencies on web3/web3-* v1.0.0-beta.37 to v1.2.1.
Make various adjustments related to the previous convention of
`"web3": "1.0.0-beta"` in `embark.json` signifying that embark's own web3
dependency should be used in dapp builds.
Fix bugs in library manager, including a switch from using the
live-plugin-manager package to using npm in a child process to install
`"versions"` dependencies specified in `embark.json` when a specified version
doesn't match up with embark's own version for that package.
Avoid race conditions when installing `"versions"` by completing all installs
prior to starting other services. If an install fails, then after all the
installs have completed or failed the embark command will exit with error.
Change various comments and update docs to reflect the new default of web3
v1.2.1.
We've introduced a regression in 536a4029ba where the default
`value` sent to payable Smart Contract methods is `-1`, resulting in errors as it's not
a valid value.
For payable methods inside of the contract interatction section of cockpit, the value input has been updated to pass wei to the API. The input field now accepts value like `100 ether` or 25 szabo`. The value entered is automatically converted to wei and shown to the user in real time.
Additionally, the input is validated for a correct value, with an error shown to the user for incorrectly entered values.
A tooltip has been added to help the user enter correct values.

Adjust the API endpoints to augment transaction objects with a timestamp
property from their corresponding blocks. This removes the necessity to copy
the timestamp property from a block to its transactions in the client.
Introduce a `formatTimestampForDisplay` util function in Cockpit for
consistently transforming timestamps into relative or absolute dates, depending
on whether a date is sometime during the last day.
This check was already made when sending messages to whisper channel, however, we didn't
perform the same check when subscribing to channels within cockpit.
When introducing the `embark-api-client` in https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/commit/c1bbdbf34
we didn't properly update Cockpits apiService, resulting in calls to API endpoints
that don't exist.
This commit fixes a bug where calls to Embark's API to subscribe to whisper
channels are in a broken state.
It also updates Cockpit's apiService to no longer pass ignored parameters to embark-api-client.
With the move of Embark's modules into their own packages, the names under
which they are registered in the API service have changed as well.
This caused Cockpit to no longer being able to properly detect whether
ENS is enabled in the current Embark project
Add support for `service api on/off` commands.
Deprecate commands `api start/stop` in favor of `service api on/off`.
`service api on` - Enables the API server serving Cockpit. Shows an error if the API server is already starting or started.
`service api off` - Disables the API server serving Cockpit. Shows an error if the API server is already stopping or stopped.
`api start` - This command has been deprecated in favor of `service api on` and will be removed in future versions.
`api stop` - This command has been deprecated in favor of `service api off` and will be removed in future versions.
`api:start` - This event has been deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
`api:stop` - This event has been deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
In addition to introducing improvements per #1492 and #1494, adjust the
transactions request action to allow for a `blockLimit` argument, since that
API parameter is supported by embark.
Revise `changePage` to invoke `fetchTransactions` correctly, i.e. with
arguments pertaining to a starting block number and a block limit.
These changes together fix most of the pagination problems related to exploring
transactions, i.e. badly mis-ordered results are no longer displayed.
However, a *wart* still remains related to estimation of the total number of
transactions and pages. Sometimes the calculated number of pages for the
transactions explorer doesn't match up to the actual number of transactions on
the blockchain (owing to estimation). The pagination controls and display of
transactions will temporarily behave a little strangely if one jumps ahead in
the pages, e.g. a jump from cockpit explorer overview's transactions page 1 to
page 5 for embark's demo, if an additional transaction has been added and the
explorer overview is freshly loaded. This behavior is related to the fact that
actions such as `fetchBlocksFull` and `fetchTransactions` are async without any
means to determine when all actions have completed and React re-/rendering has
settled down.
There are probably some architectural changes that could improve the situation,
but they're outside the scope of this PR and in no way easy to solve by means
of React lifecycle methods. In fact, attempts to make an improvement with
`componentDidUpdate` (and watching what happens in the debugger) revealed the
nature of the problem, as described above.
`webSocketProcess` function in `embark-api-client` expects only a process name,
but cockpit was calling it with name-strings prepended with `/process-logs/`
resulting in bad URLs. Revise cockpit's `services/api` module to call
`webSocketProcess` with process names only.
Create a dev tx (a 0-value tx that is sent from the —dev account to itself) when a request goes through the proxy, but does not get a response after 5 seconds.
Log requests to disk (when log level is trace - enabled with the embark option `—loglevel trace`) that have not received a response and for which a dev tx has been sent.
Add logging to a `proxyLogs.json` log file as well, so that this information can be gleaned later for debugging purposes.
This particular PR Is meant to workaround an issue with running geth with the `—dev` option, as some transactions appear to get stuck, which then builds up further txs in a queue. Only when another tx is sent is the queue then purged as expected.
The remaining issue is that even though a dev tx is sent to relieve the queued txs, the originally offending tx still never receives a response from the node. This was the motivation behind creating a proxy log, so that a dev can inspect the txs that are essentially dropped.
**NOTE:** the base branch of this branch is `refactor/devfunds`. Please merge that branch first.
Change name “DevFunds” to “DevTxs”.
Remove unused functions in dev_funds (create accounts, unlock accounts, fund accounts).
Add console command `sendtx` to send a one-off dev transaction.
Modify the dev tx to send a 0-value tx to itself (ie the `web3.eth.defaultAccount` which is the `—dev` account).
Deprecate the command `regularTxs on/off` in favour of `devtxs on/off` (notice the casing).
Strip regulartxs from cockpit and modify the browser warning to instruct users to run a console command.
This commit has been originally cherry-picked from d0d89fc5ae and
slightly modified to update all packages, as meanwhile, new packages have been added to `master`.
The reason this commit is cherry-picked from `4.0.x` branch is because
it wasn't created from `master`.
Purpose is mainly to update `CHANGELOG` and get the package versions in sync again.
