[FR] - QoL feature: display txhash on command line after submitting tx #896

Closed ptrdsh closed 4 days ago

Internal/External Internal if an IOHK staff member. External otherwise.

Area Other Any other topic (Delegation, Ranking, ...).

Describe the feature you'd like cardano-cli conway transaction submit currently only outputs Transaction successfully submitted on the command line. Would be very handy to add the txHash of the submitted tx to the output, plus maybe even an overview of the outputs created (similar to how query utxo does it).

Not so sure about the best way to print the information about the outputs, but printing the TxId should be very straight forward. I think we can start with that.

With this, users can follow-up with query utxo --tx-in TxId#TxIx to get the details, which might be more desirable since query utxo --tx-in will only succeed once the transaction has been added to a block. Before that, the transaction may still fail i.e. because --invalid-hereafter is reached before the transaction made it to a block.

Let's think about how could we print the outputs info and what sorts of warnings should be put in place.

Why do you need this information? What do you intend to do with it?

ptrdsh commented 1 month ago

Ehm.. didn't expect that question, but I guess in short - it's the "thing" I made. I simply like to know what I paid for.

More concretely: track the tx's inclusion in a block, copy the hash to share it, ...
