Table created for "watchContractEvent"

Javascript
#1

If I make the call below to “watchContractEvent” I am seeing a table created, but I also get an error result back. Any idea what this error is?

const options = {
        tableName: "SNOBTokenTransferManual",
        chainID: "0xa86a",
        address: "0xC38f41A296A4493Ff429F1238e030924A1542e50",
        topic: "Transfer(address, address, uint256)",
        abi: {
            anonymous: false,
            inputs: [
            { indexed: true, internalType: "address", name: "from", type: "address"},
            { indexed: true, internalType: "address", name: "to", type: "address"},
            { indexed: false, internalType: "uint256", name: "value", type: "uint256" },
            ],
            type: "event",
          },
        sync_historical: true,
      };
const r = await Parse.Cloud.run("watchContractEvent", options, { useMasterKey: true });
console.log(r)

Output:

"Log":{2 items
"success":boolfalse
"error":string"request.message is not a function"
}

try do update your server to latest version

A restart has resolved this, but I still never get any events when I try to watch events from code. Is anything else wrong with my code above? I run this from the API Console, and the resulting table is created but never syncs any events. I can set this up manually in the Server Details Sync tab and it will correctly pull in historical details.

#4

After you try to add events from code, are there any errors in logs? If you restart the server still doesn’t work?

#5

I do see this warning in the log - that’s it:

Warning: Duplicate cloud functions exist for syncSNOB. Only the last one will be used and the others will be ignored.

#6

What is that syncSNOB?

#7

Good question. An internal name for a job I presume. I am using the tableName “SNOB” so I presume this is the job that should be syncing events for that table. The table exists after I run this code but never gets any events. I have run this code multiple times so I was assuming this warning is related to that.

#8

I can see a job called syncSNOB in the Jobs table. I don’t seem to be able to delete it from the UI.

I also tried this with no luck:

const unwatch = {"tableName": "SNOB"}
const r = Parse.Cloud.run("unwatchContractEvent", unwatch, {useMasterKey:true});

This gives me this result in the JS Console:

"ERROR":{1 item
"message":string"src property must be a valid json object"
}
"Error":{1 item
"result":string"react-json-view error:"
}
"Error":{1 item
"result":string"src property must be a valid json object"
}

Did you try server update/restart?

#11

Yes, I did cycle it a few hours ago and then retryed with the same results.

#12

Can you share your server subdomain/url?

#13

I sent it via direct message.

#14

I realized I was missing an ‘await’ on this one. So it does seem to succeed in the JS Console with revised code:

const unwatch = {"tableName": "SNOB"}
const r = await Parse.Cloud.run("unwatchContractEvent", unwatch, {useMasterKey:true});
console.log(r)

Although even after running this the “syncSNOB” job still exists.

I saw the message, didn’t look yet

for now I noticed this strange chain id: eth

you could try to rename it to 0x1, restart server and then try again

#17

Where are you seeing this on the server?

#18

in the dashboard, in events specific table, last column

Brilliant - I didn’t even know about that table. very helpful to compare things and check them. Have to run for a bit now will look more later this evening.,
