This reverts commit 466ece4588, which has
the message:
"Revert "Merge pull request #7599 from MetaMask/Version-v7.7.0" (#7648)"
This effectively re-introduces the changes from the "LoginPerSite" PR.
All transaction status updates were moved into a `setTimeout` callback
and wrapped in a `try...catch` block in #4131, apparently in an attempt
to prevent failures in event subscribers from interrupting the
transaction logic. The `try...catch` block did accomplish that, but by
putting the status update in a `setTimeout` callback the operation was
made asynchronous.
Transaction status updates now happen unpredictably, in some future
event loop from when they're triggered. This creates a race condition,
where the transaction status update may occur before or after
subsequent state changes. This also introduces a risk of accidentally
undoing a change to the transaction state, as the update made to the
transaction inside the `setTimeout` callback uses a reference to
`txMeta` obtained synchronously before the `setTimeout` call. Any
replacement of the `txMeta` between the `setTxStatus` call and the
execution of the timeout would be erased. Luckily the `txMeta` object
is more often than not mutated rather than replaced, which may explain
why we haven't seen this happen yet.
Everything seems to work correctly with the `setTimeout` call removed,
and now the transaction logic is easier to understand.
* Specify type before parameter name
Various JSDoc `@param` entries were specified as `name {type}` rather
than `{type} name`.
A couple of `@return` entries have been given types as well.
* Use JSDoc optional syntax rather than Closure syntax
* Use @returns rather than @return
* Use consistent built-in type capitalization
Primitive types are lower-case, and Object is upper-case.
* Separate param/return description with a dash
* Ensures the tx controller + tx-state-manager orders transactions in the order they are received
* Handle transaction ordering in cases where tx ids are off by more than 1 in tx-state-manager
* Add comment to addUnapprovedTransaction explaining calling _determineTransactionCategory after generateTxMeta
* Sort txes by timestamp of creation instead of id
* Ensures the tx controller + tx-state-manager orders transactions in the order they are received
* Handle transaction ordering in cases where tx ids are off by more than 1 in tx-state-manager
* Add comment to addUnapprovedTransaction explaining calling _determineTransactionCategory after generateTxMeta
* Sort txes by timestamp of creation instead of id
* eslint: Check for unused function arguments
* eslint: Ignore unused '_' in argument list
Also allow any number of '_' e.g., '__' or '___' which is to be used sparingly
* Remove and rename unused arguments
* transactions - use safe-event-emitter over events
* tests - pass a platform object on init with a noop showTransactionNotification
* test - fix for tx-state-history-helper trying to reduce an empty array
* deps - safe-event-emitter
* lint
* Add beginning of test
* Resubmit approved transactions on new block
May fix#4343 and related issues, where an error could leave
transactions stranded in the approved state.
* Remove unused test
* Re-approve transactions when retrying approved
* Add retry approved test
* Include approved in pending tx count
* Fix getPendingTxs()
* Linted
* Only throw hash error in submitted state
* Only check submitted txs for block inclusion
* Fix test expectations
- create a new tx instead of overwriting the tx hash
- add a new state 'dropped' to the txStateManager
- mark duplicate txs as dropped when one gets confirmed in a block
