When trying to either sending, or listening to whisper channels within
Embark's consoles (CLI and Cockpit), the console outputs an error that
`EmbarkJS` isn't defined.
E.g. running:
```
> EmbarkJS.Messages.listenTo({ topic: ['somechannel'])
```
Outputs:
```
EmbarkJS is not defined
```
This seemed very odd as outputting `EmbarkJS` and all of its members
worked totally fine.
It turns out that both methods, `listenTo()` and `sendMessage()`, in
`EmbarkJS.Messages` are not necessarily what one thinks they are.
EmbarkJS decorates both methods to create some options that need to be
available in the delegate, two of them being `EmbarkJS.Utils.toAscii`
and `EmbarkJS.Utils.fromAscii` (ac76a40a61/packages/embarkjs-whisper/src/index.js (L43-L62) and ac76a40a61/packages/embarkjs-whisper/src/index.js (L64-L73))
These two global references to `EmbarkJS` are the only ones in `embarkjs-whisper`
and they are not the same reference as the `EmbarkJS` sandbox global
registered in the VM here ac76a40a61/packages/embark-code-runner/src/index.ts (L33).
In other words, the `EmbarkJS is not defined` message actually refers
to the `EmbarkJS` in the wrapping method, not the one registered with
the VM, which is also why inspecting the `EmbarkJS` object through the
VM works fine.
Since the `toAscii()` and `fromAscii()` methods in use are really just
facades around `web3.utils.[fromAscii|toAscii]()`, we can replace the
global EmbarkJS dependency with web3 utils that are already available
anyways.
Make the adjustment even if the test script is currently disabled. Consistently
use nyc to generate coverage with mocha even if the test script is currently
disabled.
If a package uses only `.js` then supply `--extensions ".js"`. If a package
uses only `.ts` then supply `--extensions ".ts"`. If a package uses both, then
supply `--extensions ".js,.ts"`.
The reason for this is that adding/removing TS/JS support ought to occasion
revising a package's `package.json` file and adjusting other scripts as well,
e.g. for linting. With these changes, it won't work to simply start adding
`.ts` files in a package's `src/` directory, which should prompt the developer
to review `package.json` and make the appropriate changes, and/or other
developers may realize changes need to be made during code review.
Several `embarkjs-*` packages specify a `"test":` script in their respective
`package.json` files but lack any tests, causing `yarn test` in the root of the
monorepo to fail. For now, disable those scripts.
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.
