w/o this fix, this value is actually 0 which would cause CheckTx to fail for txs prior to the 1st block.

| app.checkState.ctx = app.checkState.ctx.WithBlockHeader(initHeader) |

can we set this in header info as well?

Header info? What do you mean by that?

defer is usually for resource cleanup, I think it's clearer to simply put the code after the commit call, for example if panic happens before it, there's no point to still run this code.

Although the tutorial on defer states that, there's no idiomatic usage of it.
defer is often used where e.g. ensure and finally would be used in other languages.
Finally is exactly what we're trying to do here. I think if we do it in Commit, we'll have to explicitly check if height == 0.

I mean just after the initChainer call, I think we don't want to run this if there's any errors or panics?

ahh yes, the reason why I added in the defer is if initChainer == nil, you'll need to add it before the return. That's why I added in the defer instead of having it twice.

removed backport, dont think this should be backported. It is a bug but its not anything critical for users |
|
That's fair. I think dydx is launching with v0.47 and I'd imagine they'd want this but I guess they can wait or (temp) fork. |
Description
The block height after genesis and before the 2nd block is wrong. This is because we do not set the height in the default case on
InitChain. I've added a fix and a test case to reflect this.If you actually look at any major chain, you won't see any txs in the first block.
Bug was found by dydx team.
