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.

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.
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.
Rename contract "Transactions" tab to "Log". Display and allow filtering of all
contract methods. Disable debug button for pure/view functions and the
constructor.
Revise the filtering logic so that filters are combined together. Make the
status filter a drop down menu like the others.
Revise styling for consistent row height, alignment of text, and button sizes;
use a monospaced font in some cases to achieve the effect.
Handle enter/return correctly in forms within a contract's Interact tab.
Remove event rows from a contract's Interact tab.
Track pure/view calls in the blockchain proxy so they can be logged server-side
by console listener and reported in Cockpit within a contract's Log tab.
Eliminate double logging in the contracts manager. Ensure contracts deployed on
a fresh `embark run` have an `address` / `deployedAddress` property.
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/*`.
