Managing account details inside of the RPC Manager became a bit convulted and difficult to follow due to any web3 requests inside of an `RpcModifier` communicating over the proxy and therefore to other `RpcModifier`’s or itself. It also created cases where node accounts were duplicated by way of running the `eth_accounts` modifier multiple times (the first time getting accounts from the node and subsequent times getting accounts from the modified `eth_accounts` response.
This has been simplified by having the entry point of the `rpc-manager` (`index.js`) talk directly to the node via `web3`. This allowed account/nodeAccount management to also be handled by the entry point, removing the need for each individual `RpcModifier` from having to handle these account details. The result is a much more simplified and and much easier to maintain code for RPC Manager.
The cases for which accounts can be modified (via `personal_newAccount` RPC call, and via test configuration change) are now handled in one place (the entry point) and propagated to the each `RpcModifier`.
Add `blockchain:started` command to request when the blockchain has been started. In this case, this is needed so that we know when we can create a direct connection to the node, instead of the proxy (as is the case in almost all other modules).
Extend action timeout when in debug mode.
1. These changs have made the `RpcModifier` base class essentially useless, however, it has been kept in place because it will be used for future DRY improvements to the `rpc-manager`.
2. These changes have been tested with the following DApps:
- Demo
- Test DApp
- Contracts test DApp
- Teller
Many packages in the monorepo did not specify all of their dependencies; they
were effectively relying on resolution in the monorepo's root
`node_modules`. In a production release of `embark` and `embark[js]-*` packages
this can lead to broken packages.
To fix the problem currently and to help prevent it from happening again, make
use of the `eslint-plugin-import` package's `import/no-extraneous-dependencies`
and `import/no-unresolved` rules. In the root `tslint.json` set
`"no-implicit-dependencies": true`, wich is the tslint equivalent of
`import/no-extraneous-dependencies`; there is no tslint equivalent for
`import/no-unresolved`, but we will eventually replace tslint with an eslint
configuration that checks both `.js` and `.ts` files.
For `import/no-unresolved` to work in our monorepo setup, in most packages add
an `index.js` that has:
```js
module.exports = require('./dist'); // or './dist/lib' in some cases
```
And point `"main"` in `package.json` to `"./index.js"`. Despite what's
indicated in npm's documentation for `package.json`, it's also necessary to add
`"index.js"` to the `"files"` array.
Make sure that all `.js` files that can and should be linted are in fact
linted. For example, files in `packages/embark/src/cmd/` weren't being linted
and many test suites weren't being linted.
Bump all relevant packages to `eslint@6.8.0`.
Fix all linter errors that arose after these changes.
Implement a `check-yarn-lock` script that's run as part of `"ci:full"` and
`"qa:full"`, and can manually be invoked via `yarn cylock` in the root of the
monorepo. The script exits with error if any specifiers are found in
`yarn.lock` for `embark[js][-*]` and/or `@embarklabs/*` (with a few exceptions,
cf. `scripts/check-yarn-lock.js`).
fix(@embark/proxy): up max listener for proxy request manager
In the tests, we had warnings about max listeners reached, because
the default limit is 10. So I upped the limit for the request
manager and the WS connection.
stoopid CI
Set Ganache as a blockchain client that doesn't need to be started.
Set it as the default client, at least for development.
Move all blockchain related stuff in the blockchain component
Includes a fix by @emmizle to fix the WS connection in the proxy
Remove `bignumber.js` workaround (in the root, from PR #2152) because it's no
longer needed (verified locally).
Remove the `"skipLibCheck"` workaround (in `packages/plugins/solidity-tests`,
from PR #2152) because it's no longer needed (verified locally).
Refactor a typing in `packages/plugins/geth`. What's happening is that in web3
v1.2.4 `sendTransaction` has a return type of `PromiEvent<TransactionReceipt>`
but in v1.2.6 it has a return type of `PromiEvent<TransactionReceipt |
TransactionRevertInstructionError>`.
Compare:
* [v1.2.4/packages/web3-eth/types/index.d.ts#L291-L294](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/blob/v1.2.4/packages/web3-eth/types/index.d.ts#L291-L294)
* [v1.2.6/packages/web3-eth/types/index.d.ts#L295-L298](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/blob/v1.2.6/packages/web3-eth/types/index.d.ts#L295-L298)
The problem is that the `TransactionRevertInstructionError` type doesn't have a
`transactionHash` property. Since at present the code in
`packages/plugins/geth/src/devtxs.ts` only deals with the success case re:
`sendTransaction`, import the `TransactionReceipt` type from `web3-eth` and
cast the resolved return value's type using TypeScript's `as` operator.
## User reported error
i recently updated to embark 5.0 im having issues connecting to a local node each time i connect to it i get the following output from the embark console
```
Error during proxy setup: Port should be >= 0 and < 65536. Received 754510.. Use '--loglevel debug' for more detailed information.
```
This is what i have under the blockchain.js file
```
localDev: {
endpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:7545",
accounts: [{
nodeAccounts: true,
}]
}
```
### Problem
The port to start the proxy on is incremented by a constant value (using the `+` operator), however the port comes from the config and in the case where it is a string, the `+` operator acts as a string concatentation.
### Fix
Ensure the port from the config is always parsed to a number before attempting to add the constant proxy port offset.
Remove the `<12.0.0` restriction re: Node.js version in the `"engines"`
settings for all the packages in the monorepo that had that restriction.
Add missing `"engines"` settings in `packages/plugins/snark/package.json`.
Adjust the Azure Pipelines config to include builds for Node.js v12.x and
v13.x.
Bump `solc` to `0.4.26` in `dapps/tests/app` and `dapps/tests/contracts`. It
was discovered that older versions suffered a fatal `Maximum call stack size
exceeded` error when run on Windows with Node.js v12.x or newer. Display a
warning re: the bad combo (solc version + Windows + Node version) if it's
detected at runtime.
Adjust the root `yarn.lock` so that the `sha3` transitive dependency resolves
to a newer version that is compatible with Node v13.x.
When running tests that expect the EVM to fail, Embark's proxy keeps logging
the VM errors to stdout making it look like tests weren't successful, while they
are actually passing.
Inside a test-runner it's probably expected not to see any error logs when the
tests in question expect errors.
This commit changes the proxy to use `debug()` logs instead of `error()`, making
it configurable through log verbosity how much errors are seen.
Refactor typings as necessary. In order for `bignumber.js` in the root
`node_modules` to not conflict with `@types/bignumber.js`, specify
`"bignumber.js": "5.0.0"` in `devDependencies` and `"embark-ui/bignumber.js"`
in `nohoist` of the root `package.json`.
In `packages/plugins/rpc-manager` switch from callback to promise usage with
respect to `web3.eth.accounts.signTransaction` because of a [bug][bug]
discovered in web3 v1.2.4.
In `packages/plugins/solidity-tests` specialize the tsc compiler options with
`"skipLibCheck": true` because of a problematic web3-related typing in the
`.d.ts` files of the remix-tests package.
Bump ganache-cli from 6.4.3 to 6.7.0 (latest) because 6.4.3 doesn't support
`eth_chainId` but web3 1.2.4 makes use of the `eth_chainId` RPC method (EIP
695).
BREAKING CHANGE: bump embark's minimum supported version of parity from
`>=2.0.0` to `>=2.2.1`. This is necessary since web3 1.2.4 makes use of the
`eth_chainId` RPC method (EIP 695) and that parity version is the earliest one
to implement it.
