A new page has been created for viewing assets. This replaces the old
`selectedToken` state, which previously would augment the home page
to show token-specific information.
The new asset page shows the standard token overview as seen previously
on the home page, plus a history filtered to show just transactions
relevant to that token.
The actions that were available in the old token list menu have been
moved to a "Token Options" menu that mirrors the "Account Options"
menu.
The `selectedTokenAddress` state has been removed, as it is no longer
being used for anything.
`getMetaMetricState` has been renamed to `getBackgroundMetaMetricState`
because its sole purpose is extracting data from the background state
to send metrics from the background. It's not really a selector, but
it was convenient for it to use the same selectors the UI uses to
extract background data, so I left it there for now.
A new Redux store has been added to track state related to browser history.
The most recent "overview" page (i.e. the home page or the asset page) is
currently being tracked, so that actions taken from the asset page can return
the user back to the asset page when the action has finished.
What
- modify `ui/app/helpers/utils/transactions.util.js` and
`ui/lib/account-link.js` to strip trailing slashes
if they are present.
- added relevant tests not just for the new scenario,
but also the general scenarios for these functions,
as there previously was no test coverage for these
two functions.
Why
- Current behaviour, when user enters a block explorer URL
when configuring a custom RPC, and that block explorer URL
contains a trailing `/`.
- e.g. `https://block.explorer/`
- this results in a double-slash (`//`) in the transaction
and account URLs generated by MetaMask.
- e.g. `https://block.explorer/tx/0xabcd...`,
`https://block.explorer/account/0xabcd...`
- This needs to be handled using a router redirect
on the server of the block explorer,
and this changes would avoid that requirement.
Add alert suggesting that the user switch to a connected account. This
alert is displayed when the popup is opened over an active tab that is
connected to some account, but not the current selected account. The
user can choose to switch to a connected account, or dismiss the alert.
This alert is only shown once per account switch. So if the user
repeatedly opens the popup on a dapp without switching accounts, it'll
only be shown the first time. The alert also won't be shown if the user
has just dismissed an "Unconnected account" alert on this same dapp
and account, as that would be redundant.
The alert has a "Don't show me this again" checkbox that allows the
user to disable the alert. It can be re-enabled again on the Alerts
settings page.
The unconnected account alert can now be disabled. A "don't show this
again" checkbox has been added to the alert, which prevents that alert
from being shown in the future.
An alert settings page has been added to the settings as well. This
page allows the user to disable or enable any alert.
This controller was not used. It was used by the
`ComputedBalancesController`, which was removed in #7057 (as it was
also unused).
The pending balances calculator was only used by the balances
controller.
A race condition exists where after adding an unapproved transaction,
it could be mutated and then replaced when the default gas parameters
are set. This happens because the transaction is added to state and
broadcast before the default gas parameters are set, because
calculating the default gas parameters to use takes some time.
Once they've been calculated, the false assumption was made that the
transaction hadn't changed.
The method responsible for setting the default gas now retrieves an
up-to-date copy of `txMeta`, and conditionally sets the defaults only
if they haven't yet been set.
This race condition was introduced in #2962, though that PR also added
a loading screen that avoided this issue by preventing the user from
interacting with the transaction until after the gas had been
estimated. Unfortunately this loading screen was not carried forward to
the new UI.
* Remove `estimatedGas` property from `txMeta`
The `estimatedGas` property was a cache of the gas value estimated for
a transaction when the default gas limit was set. This property wasn't
used anywhere. It may have been useful for debugging purposes, but the
same gas estimate is already stored on the `history` property so it
should be present in state logs regardless.
* Remove `gasLimitSpecified` txMeta property
The `gasLimitSpecified` property of `txMeta` wasn't used for anything.
It might have been useful for debugging purposes, but whether or not
the gas limit was specified can also be determined from looking at the
transaction history, so it's not a huge loss.
* Remove `gasPriceSpecified` txMeta property
The `gasPriceSpecified` property of `txMeta` wasn't used for anything.
It might have been useful for debugging purposes, but whether or not
the gas price was specified can also be determined from looking at the
transaction history, so it's not a huge loss.
* Remove `simpleSend` txMeta property
The `simpleSend` property of `txMeta` was used to ensure a buffer was
not added to the gas limit during gas estimation for simple send
transactions. It was made redundant by #8484, which accomplishes this
without the use of this property.
Previously a transaction would get assigned a default value during the
`addTxGasDefaults` function, after the transaction was added and sent
to the UI.
Instead the transaction is assigned a default value before it gets
added. This flow is simpler to follow, and it avoids the race condition
where the transaction is assigned a value from the UI before this
default is set. In that situation, the UI-assigned value would be
overridden, which is obviously not desired.
An alert is now shown when the user switches from an account that is
connected to the active tab to an account that is not connected. The
alert prompts the user to dismiss the alert or connect the account
they're switching to.
The "loading" state is handled by disabling the buttons, and the error
state is handled by displaying a generic error message and disabling
the connect button.
The new reducer for this alert has been created with `createSlice` from
the Redux Toolkit. This utility is recommended by the Redux team, and
represents a new style of writing reducers that I hope we will use more
in the future (or at least something similar). `createSlice` constructs
a reducer, actions, and action creators automatically. The reducer is
constructed using their `createReducer` helper, which uses Immer to
allow directly mutating the state in the reducer but exposing these
changes as immutable.
`addToAddressBook` returned a thunk that didn't return a Promise,
despite doing async work. It now returns a Promise.
The callers of this action creator were updated to `await` the
completion of the operation. It was called just before redirecting the
user to a different page or closing a modal, and it seemed appropriate
to wait before doing those things.
The `getSelectedAddress` selector has a fallback of selecting the first
MetaMask account. This is not useful. The only time the
`selectedAddress` is not set is during onboarding, before any accounts
exist, so selecting the first account wouldn't be useful anyway.

`setRpcTarget` returned a thunk that didn't return a Promise, despite
doing async work. It now returns a Promise.
The callers of this action creator didn't need to be updated, as they
were all in event handlers that didn't require knowing when the
operation had completed.
Changes to the background state were being detected in the `update`
event handler in `ui/index.js` that receives state updates from the
background. However this doesn't catch every update; some state
changes are received by the UI in-between these `update` events.
The background `getState` function is callable directly from the UI,
and many action creators call it via `forceUpdateMetamaskState` to
update the `metamask` state immediately without waiting for the next
`update` event. These state updates skip this change detection in
`ui/index.js`.
For example, if a 3Box state restoration resulted in a `currentLocale`
change, and then a `forceUpdateMetamaskState` call completed before the
next `update `event was received, then `updateCurrentLocale` wouldn't
be called, and the `locale` store would not be updated correctly with
the localized messages for the new locale.
We now check for background state changes in the `updateMetamaskState`
action creator. All `metamask` state updates go through this function,
so we aren't missing any changes anymore.
`setProviderType` returned a thunk that didn't return a Promise,
despite doing async work. It now returns a Promise.
None of the callers of this action creator needed to know when it
completed, so no changes to the call sites were made.
A simple default store of `{ metamask: {} }` is now used for the
actions tests.
While I would prefer that any expectations about the store be included
in each test, the mere existence of this `metamask` object seems like
a fairly reasonable default, as it's (hopefully) impossible for it to
be unset at runtime.
The `2-state.json` test state file was deleted as well, as it was no
longer used.
Many of the "message manager" background methods return a full copy of
the background state in their response; presumably to save us from
making a full round-trip to update the UI `metamask` state after it
changes. However, the action creators responsible for calling these
methods were calling `updateMetamaskState` even when the background
method failed. In effect, they were setting the UI `metamask` state to
`undefined`.
They have been updated to only set the UI `metamask` state if the
background method succeeded.
`setSelectedAddress` returned a thunk that didn't return a Promise,
despite doing async work. It now returns a Promise.
This action creator was only called in two places, and neither benefit
from using the Promise now returned. They were both event handlers. In
both cases there was an existing Promise chain, but the only thing
after this set was a `catch` block that displayed any error
encountered. I decided not to return the result of `setSelectedAddress`
to this chain, because all it would do is set the warning a second
time in the event of failure.
`showAccountDetail` returned a thunk that didn't return a Promise,
despite doing async work. Now it returns a Promise.
This action is only called in one place, and it looks like the actions
dispatched alongside it were meant to be run in parallel, so no changes
were made there.
This state has been removed from the background. It was used for the
old UI, and has been unused for some time. A migration has been added
to delete this state as well.
The action creator responsible for updating this state has been removed
from the UI as well, along with the `callBackgroundThenUpdateNoSpinner`
convenience function, which was only used for this action.
The `transForward` app state is no longer used, so it has been removed.
Associated actions have been removed as well.
This state dates back a few years, so I was unable to determine when it
was made obsolete.
Keyrings are added either through the `getKeyringForDevice` background
method (as part of the hardware wallet connect flow), or via
`importAccountWithStrategy` (when importing an account). The
`addNewKeyring` action and corresponding background method has not been
used in a long time.
This state hasn't been used since #5886. The nonce we display in our UI
is now from the background, rather than queried directly from the
front-end.
This also means we save making this network call each time a pending
transaction is added, and each time the transaction list is mounted.
Some of the unit tests for `actions.js` were calling async actions
without `await`-ing them. All async actions are now called with `await`
to ensure they've completed.
`markPasswordForgotten` is an asynchronous function, but it was being
called synchronously. The page was redirected without waiting for the
operation to complete.
We now wait for the operation to complete before continuing. Failure is
still not being handled correctly, but that will be addressed in a
separate PR.
