This is the interface shared by types that can be used as event data in, for
example, subscriptions via the RPC.
To be compatible with the RPC service, data need to support JSON encoding.
Require this as part of the interface.
The main change here is to use encoding/json to encode and decode RPC
parameters, rather than the custom tmjson package. This includes:
- Update the HTTP POST handler parameter handling.
- Add field tags to 64-bit integer types to get string encoding (to match amino/tmjson).
- Add marshalers to struct types that mention interfaces.
- Inject wrappers to decode interface arguments in RPC handlers.
*light: rpc /status returns status of light client ; code refactoring
light: moved lightClientInfo into light.go, renamed String to ID
test/e2e: Return light client trusted height instead of SyncInfo trusted height
test/e2e/start.go: Not waiting for light client to catch up in tests. Removed querying of syncInfo in start if the node is a light node
* light: Removed call to primary /status. Added trustedPeriod to light info
* light/provider: added ID function to return IP of primary and witnesses
* light/provider/http/http_test: renamed String() to ID()
This commit changes the behaviour of the /unconfirmed_txs endpoint by replacing limit with a page and perPage parameter for pagination.
The test case for unconfirmed_txs have been accommodated to properly test this change and the documentation for the API as well.
Add package jsontypes that implements a subset of the custom libs/json
package. Specifically it handles encoding and decoding of interface types
wrapped in "tagged" JSON objects. It omits the deep reflection on arbitrary
types, preserving only the handling of type tags wrapper encoding.
- Register interface types (Evidence, PubKey, PrivKey) for tagged encoding.
- Update the existing implementations to satisfy the type.
- Register those types with the jsontypes registry.
- Add string tags to 64-bit integer fields where needed.
- Add marshalers to structs that export interface-typed fields.
The parameters for RPC GET requests are parsed from query arguments in the
request URL. Rework this code to remove the need for tmjson. The structure of a
call still requires reflection, and still works the same way as before, but the
code structure has been simplified and cleaned up a bit.
Points of note:
- Consolidate handling of pointer types, so we only need to dereference once.
- Reduce the number of allocations of reflective types.
- Report errors for unsupported types rather than returning untyped nil.
Update the tests as well. There was one test case that checked for an error on
a behaviour the OpenAPI docs explicitly demonstrates as supported, so I fixed
that test case, and also added some new ones for cases that weren't checked.
Related:
* Update e2e base Go image to 1.17 (to match config).
Require that RPC functions take a context as their first argument, and return
an error as either their only result, or the second of two results.
This does not change how functions are dispatched, but will make it a little
easier to make more invasive changes in the near future.
Instead of taking a comma-separated string of parameter names, take each
parameter name as a separate argument. Now that we no longer have an extra flag
for caching, this fits nicely into a variadic trailer.
* Update all usage of NewRPCFunc and NewWSRPCFunc.
Rather than installing two separate panic handlers, defer the bookkeeping
separately from recovery, and lift the delegated handler call out to the top
level of the wrapper.
Also: Regularize the server middleware wrappers.
Add writeRPCResponse and writeHTTPResponse helpers, that handle the way RPC
responses are written to HTTP replies. These replace the exported helpers.
Visible effects:
- JSON results are now marshaled without indentation.
- HTTP status codes are now normalized.
- Cache control headers are no longer set.
Details:
- When writing a response to a URL (GET) request, do not marshal the whole
JSON-RPC object into the body, only encode the result or the error object.
This is a user-visible change.
- Do not change the HTTP status code for RPC errors. The RPC error already
reports what went wrong, the HTTP status should only report problems with the
HTTP transaction itself. This is a user-visible change.
- Encode JSON without indentation in POST response bodies. This is mainly cosmetic
but saves quite a bit of response data. Indent is still applied to GET responses to make
life easier for code examples.
- Remove an obsolete TODO about reporting an HTTP error on websocket upgrade.
Nothing needed to change; the upgrader already reports an error.
- Report an HTTP error when starting the server loop fails.
- Improve logging for encoding errors.
- Log less aggressively.
In two cases, we check for the content of an error right after asserting that
no error occurs. Fix the sense of those checks.
In one case, we check that there is no error with the diagnostic "expected
error". It's not clear whether this means "an error was expected" (which is
what I believe) or "we got the expected error". However, given the way the mock
plumbing is set up, the first interpretation seems right.
We should not set cache-control headers on RPC responses. HTTP caching
interacts poorly with resources that are expected to change frequently, or
whose rate of change is unpredictable.
More subtly, all calls to the POST endpoint use the same URL, which means a
cacheable response from one call may actually "hide" an uncacheable response
from a subsequent one. This is less of a problem for the GET endpoints, but
that means the behaviour of RPCs varies depending on which HTTP method your
client happens to use. Websocket requests were already marked statically
uncacheable, adding yet a third combination.
To address this:
- Stop setting cache-control headers.
- Update the tests that were checking for those headers.
- Remove the flags to request cache-control.
Apart from affecting the HTTP response headers, this change does not modify the
behaviour of any of the RPC methods.
* Rename rpctypes.Context to CallInfo.
Add methods to attach and recover this value from a context.Context.
* Rework RPC method handlers to accept "real" contexts.
- Replace *rpctypes.Context arguments with context.Context.
- Update usage of RPC context fields to use CallInfo.
No functional changes.
- Pull out a some helper code to simplify the control flow within the body of
the HTTP request handler.
- Front-load the URL path check so it does not get repeated for each request.
Instead of using anonymous maps, define tagged struct types for JSON argument
encoding. This allows us to have the encoding rules we want without tmjson.
This commit handles the "easy" cases. BroadcastEvidence is omitted here,
because it depends on the interface encoding rules from tmjson. I will address
that in a forthcoming change.
* Update Caller interface and its documentation.
* Rework MapToRequest as ParamsToRequest.
The old interface returned the result as well as populating it. Nothing was
using this, so drop the duplicated value from the return signature. Clarify the
documentation on the Caller type.
Rework the MapToRequest helper to take an arbitrary value instead of only a
map. This is groundwork for getting rid of the custom marshaling code. For now,
however, the implementation preserves the existing behaviour for the map, until
we can replace those.
These two interfaces are identical, and besides HTTPClient being confusingly
named, all but one location uses Caller. Update that one location, and drop the
redundant interface.
Apart from the tests for the websocket client, positional parameters are not
used by RPC clients. The server supports both arrays and objects, but the
client only needs to provide one or the other.

The JSON-RPC endpoint accepts requests via URL (GET) and JSON (POST). There is
no real point in having client libraries for both modes.
A search of the SDK and on GitHub suggests that most usage is via the JSON
client (via the New constructor) or websocket (NewWS), and the only uses I
found of the NewURI client constructor are in copies of our own test code.
This does not change the functionalitiy of the server, so curl and other
URL-based clients in other languages will still function as before.
This continues the push of plumbing contexts through tendermint. I
attempted to find all goroutines in the production code (non-test) and
made sure that these threads would exit when their contexts were
canceled, and I believe this PR does that.
The event examples for the query filter language were not updated after the
change of key and value types from []byte to string. Also, the attributes need
to be a slice not a bare value.
I think calling os.Exit at arbitrary points is _bad_ and is good to
delete. I think panics in the case of data courruption have a chance
of providing useful information.
This is part of the work described by #7156.
Remove "unbuffered subscriptions" from the pubsub service.
Replace them with a dedicated blocking "observer" mechanism.
Use the observer mechanism for indexing.
Add a SubscribeWithArgs method and deprecate the old Subscribe
method. Remove SubscribeUnbuffered entirely (breaking).
Rework the Subscription interface to eliminate exposed channels.
Subscriptions now use a context to manage lifecycle notifications.
Internalize the eventbus package.
This change removes the partial gRPC interface to the RPC service, which was
deprecated in resolution of #6718.
Details:
- rpc: Remove the client and server interfaces and proto definitions.
- Remove the gRPC settings from the config library.
- Remove gRPC setup for the RPC service in the node startup.
- Fix various test helpers to remove gRPC bits.
- Remove the --rpc.grpc-laddr flag from the CLI.
Note that to satisfy the protobuf interface check, this change also includes a
temporary edit to buf.yaml, that I will revert after this is merged.
