remove storage getters in FRAME #13365

muraca · 2023-02-11T17:50:39Z

I added the deprecation message, removed every usage of #[pallet::getter] and refactored everything accordingly.
Since a few getters for non-public maps were used in runtime or other situations, I manually wrote those functions and removed the getter.
I generally used the pallet_name::StorageItem::<T>::get() syntax, I don't like the use pallet_name::StorageItem; because it's less explicit.
I removed the getters from the examples, because since we don't want users to use them anymore, I think it's a better UX if we just don't mention them.

Companions:
Cumulus paritytech/substrate#2216
Polkadot TBD

muraca · 2023-02-11T17:55:17Z

I'm sure I missed something, I'll let the tests run to see if there's any errors in pallets.
I also think I need to add some info about the deprecation in the docs of the procedural macro. Any hints?

Do we really want to do this like this? This is a big breaking change and will add significantly amount of work to downstream projects for no benefits.

It makes some sense to deprecate the getter syntax, but please don't remove the getters from pallets immediately.

Indeed, as per the original issue:

... for now mark them as deprecated, and just remove all usage in substrate.

muraca · 2023-02-12T10:05:06Z

No problem then, I'll revert those changes!

muraca · 2023-02-13T21:18:20Z

Polkadot and Cumulus tests fail because of a missing SetMembersOrigin in pallet collective. It was added yesterday in PR #13159. I rebased and will let the checks tell me if something has broken.

shawntabrizi

looks like the right direction to me

shawntabrizi · 2023-02-20T21:37:32Z

... for now mark them as deprecated, and just remove all usage in substrate.

I think this is how @muraca already approached this problem, but better to just manually implement all the getters on existing pallets, and no need to really mark anything as deprecated. Basically, this is just some legacy debt that probably will stick around, but has little impact.

Hi for the pallet-sudo, the definition for the Key is under super scope limitation.
Maybe you forget to remove the getter for the key, but all in all, if you plan to remove getter for the storage Key, please at least make the Key to be pub. Because in many projects including our, we use the sudo key to check something in other pallets. So that for this pr modification, we need to let the sudo key can be accessed from outside, I advise you to choose the following two way:

let the storage Key to be public;

write a function key() to return this storage, impl same logic as getter function.

The key function is not going to be removed as of now, but the auto-generated getter is being deprecated.
I can speculate about what might happen in the future, I think that somebody will "manually" implement such getters, and remove the pallet::getter from the pallets, but from what I understood it's going to take a while.
cc @kianenigma

Yes, I mean when remove the getter for Key, please do not forget to let it be pub or implement the getter manually, otherwise we need to create another pr to add it.
Thanks

@muraca I see that this pallet-sudo already remove this getter, so please do not forget to add this getter by manual or let the Key be pub

I have not removed the #[pallet::getter(fn key)] line. See here.

so can you add this function in this pallet-sudo? otherwise it will breaking many thing in our projects ? @muraca

pub fn key() -> Option<T::AccountId>{ Key::<T>::get() }

I think it's very necessary! otherwise there is no way to get the sudo key from this pallet!

xlc · 2023-04-12T15:39:27Z

why is this removing getters instead of deprecate them?

muraca · 2023-04-12T15:47:49Z

@xlc as per request, I added a deprecation message and removed every usage of the auto-generated functions

xlc · 2023-04-12T15:53:12Z

But the getter is still removed? There shouldn't be any companions PR required for this PR.

bkchr · 2023-04-12T15:58:38Z

But the getter is still removed? There shouldn't be any companions PR required for this PR.

Ahh yeah good point, we should first deprecate the usage before removing the actual calls.

muraca · 2023-04-12T20:12:48Z

But the getter is still removed?

@xlc I'm not sure I understood what you're asking. I'm not actually removing any of the getter functions, it just shows a warning message if you try to use one.

I was told I should not leave any warning behind, so I removed all the calls to said auto-generated functions in the FRAME pallets, and I did the same for the Cumulus repository.
For the same reason, I had to replace some of the auto-generated getters, for example Aura's fn authorities, because it is used somewhere you can't call pallet_aura::Authorities::<T>::get().

bkchr · 2023-04-12T21:24:19Z

Ahh yeah, thank you @muraca!

xlc

ok I think you do the correct thing for most of the pallets but may have missed a few others.

My suggestion: always avoid hugh PR if possible. This is no reason that you need to update every pallet in a single PR. This makes review impossible (Github struggling to render diff and very time comsuming for reviews).

@muraca unfortunately this got behind master massively, would you take this over?

muraca · 2023-07-12T12:43:03Z

Hey @juangirini as far as I remember it was decided not to proceed with this deprecation at the moment.
If you're sure that this should be done right now, please let me know, and I'll go through the code again in the next few days.
