It seems that this blocklist checker never worked correctly. Ever since
the initial commit, it was comparing the Number `1` to the `networkId`,
which is a string. Additionally, even if it did throw, the transaction
continued unhindered. The user could still approve it, and there was no
indication shown to the user that anything went wrong. Also some of the
blocklist entries were incorrectly mixed-case, and were never hit.
We can remove this for now, and re-add it later on after we rewrite the
transaction controller.
Imported accounts can be removed, but the permissions controller is not
informed when this happens. Permissions are now removed as part of the
account removal process.
Additionally, the `getPermittedIdentitiesForCurrentTab` selector now
filters out any non-existent accounts, in case a render occurs in the
middle of an account removal.
This was resulting in a render crash upon opening the popup on a site
that was connected to the removed account.
The `TokenRatesController` was accidentally broken in #8744, when the
logic for starting and stopping polling was moved from the `isActive`
property to start/stop functions.
A reference to the now-obsolete `isActive` property was accidentally
left behind, resulting in no exchange rate updates.
This controller was not used. It was used by the
`ComputedBalancesController`, which was removed in #7057 (as it was
also unused).
The pending balances calculator was only used by the balances
controller.
A race condition exists where after adding an unapproved transaction,
it could be mutated and then replaced when the default gas parameters
are set. This happens because the transaction is added to state and
broadcast before the default gas parameters are set, because
calculating the default gas parameters to use takes some time.
Once they've been calculated, the false assumption was made that the
transaction hadn't changed.
The method responsible for setting the default gas now retrieves an
up-to-date copy of `txMeta`, and conditionally sets the defaults only
if they haven't yet been set.
This race condition was introduced in #2962, though that PR also added
a loading screen that avoided this issue by preventing the user from
interacting with the transaction until after the gas had been
estimated. Unfortunately this loading screen was not carried forward to
the new UI.
* Remove `estimatedGas` property from `txMeta`
The `estimatedGas` property was a cache of the gas value estimated for
a transaction when the default gas limit was set. This property wasn't
used anywhere. It may have been useful for debugging purposes, but the
same gas estimate is already stored on the `history` property so it
should be present in state logs regardless.
* Remove `gasLimitSpecified` txMeta property
The `gasLimitSpecified` property of `txMeta` wasn't used for anything.
It might have been useful for debugging purposes, but whether or not
the gas limit was specified can also be determined from looking at the
transaction history, so it's not a huge loss.
* Remove `gasPriceSpecified` txMeta property
The `gasPriceSpecified` property of `txMeta` wasn't used for anything.
It might have been useful for debugging purposes, but whether or not
the gas price was specified can also be determined from looking at the
transaction history, so it's not a huge loss.
* Remove `simpleSend` txMeta property
The `simpleSend` property of `txMeta` was used to ensure a buffer was
not added to the gas limit during gas estimation for simple send
transactions. It was made redundant by #8484, which accomplishes this
without the use of this property.
Previously a transaction would get assigned a default value during the
`addTxGasDefaults` function, after the transaction was added and sent
to the UI.
Instead the transaction is assigned a default value before it gets
added. This flow is simpler to follow, and it avoids the race condition
where the transaction is assigned a value from the UI before this
default is set. In that situation, the UI-assigned value would be
overridden, which is obviously not desired.
This method adds the given account to the given origin's list of
exposed accounts. This method is not yet used, but it will be in
subsequent PRs (e.g. #8312)
This method has been added to the background API, and a wrapper action
creator has been written as well.
