Is it mandatory to cache the abi? about eosjs

[jcalfee]

a) I need to add ABI support to eos.transaction ... As you discovered, you can use eos.contract instead..
b) eosioc tells me you may be using dawn 3 so this may be related.. There are many changes. I'll start adding support next week. If you need a work-around, try using the dawn2 build tag.

It is mandatory to download the ABI and it will automatically cache. I don't have to cache it.

Did you go back to dawn2? You may need dawn3 updates, I'm working on that now..

Yeah, I am using https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/releases/tag/DAWN-2018-01-31-ALPHA probably its because of that! 👍If you want the code for testing you can find it: ( https://github.com/kesar/twitbot/tree/master/contracts/twitbot ) it works fine from command line.

Isn't possible to upload contracts without abi ? I guess it needs to be supported a contract without abi as well.

Perhaps, I can see a scheduled event used in this way. But If a contract does not have an ABI, there are no action methods to call so the eos.contract lookup method would have no use anyways. So the ABI is required for the eos.contract lookup so it will have one or more actions to call.

a) npm [email protected] will lookup the ABI for each message when you provide a full transaction.
b) tracked under another ticket: #25

Now, back to abi caching .. I'm going to look at the dawn 3 get_code API and see if that changed. What I really need is a get_abi and a immutable flag, this way I know to automatically re-fresh the cache frequency if the abi is mutable. I assume you have no issues with memory right? I'm thinking I can cache all ABIs but I need to refresh in some cases.

👍 awesome. I'm gonna test it :)

[kesar]

yeah, transaction now doesnt return the abi cache issue. 👍

I'm getting something different not related to this issue, perhaps you can also throw some light? The type is uint64, but passing quantity: 1 it doesnt work. Any idea how should I send a uint64 format ?

Thanks!

Use a string, if the number is not quoted javascript will change your number to be about 53 bits even if the number is larger..

It seems that its not doing it, perhaps an issue in the fcbuffer?: I changed it to quantity: "1"

Oh ok! so that would be the problem :)

Feel free to ping me in telegram ( @kesarito ) if you want me to help with testing

I will close this issues as the ABI thing is solved! Thanks 🙏
