What's the difference between these 2 code blocks?

[DorianDaSilva]

Hi,

I have been struggling with const proposalId = proposeReceipt.events[0].args.proposalId bit in propose.ts script as described in discussion #4508

Here are 2 code blocks I ran regarding this issue, one runs perfectly, the other breaks at const proposalId:

1- This code block snippet from the course repo runs perfectly as seen below (With or without saving proposalId bit)

  const proposeReceipt = await proposeTx.wait(1)
  const proposalId = proposeReceipt.events[0].args.proposalId 
  console.log(`Proposed with proposal ID:\n  ${proposalId}`)

  const proposalState = await governor.state(proposalId)
  const proposalSnapShot = await governor.proposalSnapshot(proposalId)
  const proposalDeadline = await governor.proposalDeadline(proposalId)


  // save the proposalId
  //storeProposalId(proposalId);

  console.log(`Current Proposal State: ${proposalState}`)
  console.log(`Current Proposal Snapshot: ${proposalSnapShot}`)
  console.log(`Current Proposal Deadline: ${proposalDeadline}`)
}

Output

2- On the other hand the code I copied following along the video fails with and without the const proposals block

    let proposals = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(proposalsFile, "utf8"));
    proposals[network.config.chainId!.toString()].push(proposalId.toString());
    fs.writeFileSync(proposalsFile, JSON.stringify(proposals));

Here is my code block for ProposalId

    const proposeReceipt = proposeTx.wait(1);
    console.log("TxReceipt Done")

    const proposalId = proposeReceipt.event[0].args.proposalId;
    console.log(`Proposed with proposal ID: \n ${proposalId}`)

    const proposalState = await governor.state(proposalId);
    const proposalSnapshot = await governor.proposalSnapshot(proposalId);
    const proposalDeadline = await governor.proposalDeadline(proposalId);

    console.log(`Current Proposal State: ${proposalState}`) //1 did not pass - 0 passed
    console.log(`Current Proposal Snapshot: ${proposalSnapshot}`)//block # snapshot
    console.log(`Current Proposal Deadline: ${proposalDeadline}`);

Output

1st run:

| I have to restart the node because this crashes it!

2nd run (after restarting node)

Call me crazy but they look identical to me, so what I am missing here?
Do you have any insights on this @alymurtazamemon?

Thank you!

first block - events[0]
second - event[0]. Change to events[0]

@rin-st I tried both ways on the code from the video still got the same error

what's inside your proposeReceipt ?

[DorianDaSilva]

@rin-st
Fixed it by adding the following in the blank proposals.json file

{ '31337': [ ] }

=> The video leaves it empty { }
