This commit fixes the issue that it wasn't possible anymore to use named constructor arguments
in Smart Contract configurations.
For example, the following Smart Contract expects two constructor arguments:
```solidity
contract SomeContract {
constructor(address[] _addresses, int initialValue) public {}
}
```
The first being a list of addresses, the second one a number. This can be configured as:
```js
SomeContract: {
args: [
["$MyToken2", "$SimpleStorage"],
123
]
}
```
Notice how the order of arguments matters here. `_addresses` come first in the constructor,
so they have to be defined first in the configuration as well.
Another way to configure this is using named arguments, which is what's broken prior to this commit:
```js
SomeContract: {
args: {
initialValue: 123,
_addresses: ["$MyToken2", "$SimpleStorage"]
}
}
```
Using a notation like this ^ the order no longer matters as Embark will figure out the right
values for the constructor arguments by their names.
The reason this is broken is because there are several modules in Embark that register and
run a `deployment:contract:beforeDeploy` action, which are allowed to mutate this configuration
object. One of those modules is the `ens` module, which searches for ENS names in the arguments
and figure out whether it has to replace it with a resolved address.
One thing that particular module didn't take into account is that `args` could be either and
array, or an object and will always return an array, changing the shape of `args` in case it was
an object.
This is a problem because another module, `ethereum-blockchain-client`, another action is registered
that takes this mutated object in `determineArguments()` and ensure that, if `args` is actually an
object, the values are put in the correct position matching the constructor of the Smart Contract in
question.
One way to solve this was to use the newly introduced [priority](https://github.com/embark-framework/embark/pull/2031) and ensure
that `ens` action is executed after `ethereum-blockchain-client`'s.
However, the actual bug here is that the ENS module changes the shape of `args` in the first place,
so this commit ensures that it preserves it.
Those had been removed in a refactor while the Smart Contract sources have been
kept around, resulting in deployment errors as Embark doesn't know what to do
with the Smart Contracts that don't come with a dedicated config.
This commit re-adds the configurations to make the deployment pass again.
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(@embark/proxy): send back errors correctly to the client
Code originally by @emizzle and fixed by me

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`.
