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.
* refactor(@embark/dapps/tests/app): use function syntax
These changes don't fix the race conditions related to the test dapp's tests
but are a step in the right direction.
* refactor(@embark/dapps/tests/contracts): adjustments to get tests passing
Further refactoring is needed re: potentially duplicated or overlapping logic
in `packages/plugins/solidity-tests` and
`packages/core/utils/src/solidity/remapImports.ts`, as well in disabled test
dapp tests
* test(dapps/tests/app): temporarily disable intermittently failing tests
They are failing because of a race condition; once that race condition has been
fixed these tests should be reenabled.
* fix(@embark/solidity-tests): fix importing the library for the tests
Fix a lot of bugs and reenable a couple of modules
Some tests were kept disabled, mostly the ENS and EmbarkJS tests
Those need to add back a fairly significant feature to work
Add back missing solidity contracts
* fix: fix tests hanging because the console is not started
* fix(@embark/proxy): send back errors correctly to the client
Code originally by @emizzle and fixed by me
* feat(@embark/test-runner): add assert.reverts to test reverts
* fix: make test app actually run its test and not hang
* fix(@embark/proxy): fix listening to contract event in the proxy
* feat(@embark/test-runner): add assertion for events being triggered
* docs(@embark/site): add docs for the new assert functions
* feat(@embark/test-runner): add increaseTime util function to globals
* docs(@embark/site): add docs for increaseTime
* fix: fix test-app, contracts index file and reload on change
* fix(@embark/cmd_controller): fix missing nodes

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.
`EmbarkJS.Messages.isAvailable()` in some cases return synchronously (when whisper isn't
set up), in other cases asynchronously. This actually breaks our demo application for
the following reason:
We check for Whisper's availability via:
```
EmbarkJS.Messages.Providers.whisper.getWhisperVersion((err, _version) => {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
this.setState({whisperEnabled: true});
});
```
There's a couple of problems here:
- This code will break right away when whisper isn't available, resulting in an error:
```
Cannot read property _requestManager of undefined
```
- The reason this error happens is because there's no `web3` object available inside
our EmbarkJS.Messages code. Even though there **is** a web3 object, EmbarkJS.Messages
doesn't know about this because it only sets it when its `setProvider()` API is called,
which effectively doesn't happen at all when Whisper isn't enabled on the connected
node
- While this could be fixed with a simple check on whether EmbarkJS.Messages' internal
`web3` references is a thing, really what should be used in the demo is the `isAvailable()`
API.
`isAvailable()` should always return a promise (similar to `EmbarkJS.Storage.isAvailable()`.
This commit ensures that `isAvailable()` always returns a promise and changes the demo
template to use `isAvailable()` over `getWhisperVersion()`.
Effectively deprecate the `embarkjs-connector-web3` package but don't introduce
a breaking change by simply not loading the plugin if it's specified in a
DApp's `embark.json`. If the deprecated plugin is specified, display a message
indicating the plugin was ignored and suggesting it be removed from the
project's `embark.json` and `package.json`.
This has been a problem in Cockpit as well and was fixed accordingly.
Whisper doesn't allow subscribing to channels with names that have less
than 4 characters.
This could be fixed in different ways, one being on the library level
(e.g. have embark check for the given length and not subscribing when it
doesn't pass the check), the other one being on the application/ui level.
The reason it makes sense to solve this in the application layers is because
we keep the it open for users of EmbarkJS.Messages APIs to handle errors
the way they want.
Fixes#1666
The previous link was pointing to readthedocs.io, which wasn't active. So here I've replaced it with the link to the official documentation on the Embark website.
