Describe your question in detail.

Context: I'm trying to check APT balances of accounts after simple transfer TX's on a localnet instance.

When working against the localnet instance created by the TS SDK (cli.LocalNode()), I've noticed that the balances of my accounts after transferring APT aren't changed. But, if I include a timeout of 10 seconds, the balances are reported appropriately by getAccountAPTAmount.

What error, if any, are you getting?

No response

What have you tried or looked at? Or how can we reproduce the error?

I included the option waitForIndexer, but I still receive the same issue.

When running against the Testnet, rather than local, the issue is not present.

Here's related code:

export const getLocalnetAptosClient = (additionalConfig?: Partial<AptosConfig>): { aptos: Aptos; config: AptosConfig } => {
    const network = Network.LOCAL;
    const config = new AptosConfig({
      network,
      ...additionalConfig,
    });
    const aptos = new Aptos(config);
    return { aptos, config };
};

... {      
      const cli = require("@aptos-labs/ts-sdk/dist/common/cli/index.js");
      const local_node = new cli.LocalNode();
      await local_node.run();

      const localnet_aptos = getLocalnetAptosClient();

      await localnet_aptos.aptos.fundAccount({ accountAddress: bob.account.accountAddress, amount: 1_000_000_000 });
      await localnet_aptos.aptos.fundAccount({ accountAddress: alice.account.accountAddress, amount: 1 });
    
      const tx = await localnet_aptos.aptos.transaction.build.simple({
        sender: bob.account.accountAddress,
        data: {
          function: "0x1::coin::transfer",
          typeArguments: ["0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin"],
          functionArguments: [alice.account.accountAddress, 100_000]
        }
      });
      const pending_tx = await localnet_aptos.aptos.transaction.signAndSubmitTransaction({
        signer: bob.account,
        transaction: tx
      });
      await localnet_aptos.aptos.waitForTransaction({ transactionHash: pending_tx.hash, options: {checkSuccess: true, waitForIndexer: true} });

      // If the below is enabled, we'll see 100_000 Octa of APT removed from Bob's account. Otherwise, balance stays the same.
      // await new Promise(resolve=> setTimeout(resolve, 10000));

      let value_after = await localnet_aptos.aptos.getAccountAPTAmount({ accountAddress: aptos_subprocess_wallet_info.account.accountAddress }); // RETURNS 1_000_000_000
}
