Track transaction hash changed [Feature request]

[k06a]

Description

I think web3 should handle if wallet resends tx with a different gasPrice. Transactions could be tracked by from (recovered from signature) and nonce instead of transactionHash, and in case of only gasPrice and transactionHash and signature changed it should succeed.

Also, it may be reasonable to add callbacks for hashChanged event.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

const tx = await web3.eth.sendTransaction(...);

And resend Tx with same nonce bug different gasPrice using a wallet (MetaMask)

Expected behavior

Web3 to indicate when transaction succeed or reverted

Actual behavior

Web3 does not indicate when transaction succeed or reverted

Versions

• web3.js: 1.0.0-beta.48

Could you update your issue to be aligned with the issue template we provide?
I like this idea. It would be possible with extending of the TransactionObserver and AbstractObservedTransactionMethod class.

@nivida updated 👌

Also observing this behavior. web3 is not catching the completion of a transaction. promise never resolves when you send a transaction

[mjdietzx]

simple to reproduce:

const promise = contract.methods[method](...args).send();

promise never resolves. tested in chrome with metamask. using vue/webpack and latest web3

still stuck on web3 beta 0.37 which works
