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.
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.
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.
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.
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`.
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.
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.
Make changes by running these commands in the root of the monorepo:
**bugs**
```shell
npx lerna exec --concurrency 1 --stream -- \
'DIRPATH=$(realpath $PWD --relative-to=$LERNA_ROOT_PATH); \
npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.bugs=\
\"https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/issues\""'
```
**homepage**
```shell
npx lerna exec --concurrency 1 --stream -- \
'DIRPATH=$(realpath $PWD --relative-to=$LERNA_ROOT_PATH); \
npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.homepage=\
\"https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/tree/master/${DIRPATH}#readme\""'
```
Don't commit changes to private packages, with the exceptions of embark-typings
and embark-reset because those may switch from private to public, and also
because the latter will be included in `node_modules` of embark even if it is
private since embark-reset is presently a bundled dependency of embark.
Don't include the homepage and bugs fields in dapps generated from the template
packages, except for the demo. Set those dapps' description field to an empty
string.
Ensure every package (inc. private packages) has a description.
Ensure every package (inc. private packages) has a README that begins with:
```markdown
`[pkgJson.name]`
================
> [pkgJson.description]
Visit [embark.status.im](https://embark.status.im/) to get started with
[Embark](https://github.com/embark-framework/embark).
```
Don't include the README in dapps generated from the template packages, except
for the demo.
Add an `enabled` property to the pipeline config. This lets developers disable the pipeline using the config file.
Updates to the enabled property will be reflected while embark is running. For example if embark is running with the pipeline, setting `enabled: false` in the pipeline config will build/deploy the contracts but not run the pipeline. Conversely, if embark is running with the pipeline disabled, enabling the pipeline in the config will build/deploy the contracts then build the dapp.
`package.json` allows for a [`"files"` whitelist][files] to be specified as an
alternative to a top-level `.npmignore` within a package root. Maintaining
whitelists is generally easier and less error-prone than maintaining
blacklists, so implement a `"files"` list for all non-private packages in the
monorepo and remove unneeded `.npmignore` files.
Switch `embark-reset` from being a private package to one that will be
published, adjust the workspace's `"nohoist"` setting accordingly, and no
longer specify `embark-reset` as a bundled dependency of `packages/embark`. I
originally thought there might be a good reason not to publish it, but I no
longer think so.
Remove unnecessary LICENSE files in `packages/{embark,embark-ui}` since Lerna
will automatically copy the root LICENSE into any packages lacking that file,
i.e. before tarballs are packed and published to the NPM registry.
Change the `"author"` field of `packages/embarkjs-connector-web3` to match the
other packages, i.e. such that it matches the copyright assignment in the root
LICENSE. If that's not a desirable thing to do, then instead that package can
have a separate LICENSE file that has a copyright assignment for `"Jonathan
Rainville"`.
Supply some missing `.npmrc` files in `packages/*`.
