Enforce `weight` attribute to be included in authority JSON when performing `updateauth` action

[DenisCarriere]

I've recently been able to pushed a system updateauth action when the JSON authority file was missing the weight attribute, this caused the account to "null" out the permission since the authority had a weight of 0.

If weight is undefined eosc should raise an error instead of pushing updateauth with a weight of 0 as the default.

Should raise an error (missing weight)

{
  "threshold": 1,
  "keys": [
    {
      "key": "EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV"
    }
  ]
}

Valide authority JSON

{
  "threshold": 1,
  "keys": [
    {
      "key": "EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV",
      "weight": 1
    }
  ]
}

Ouch. This needs fixing. I thought nodeos checked for those risks.. surprised it accepts a weight of 0.. what's the use of a weight of 0 otherwise?!

Do you have a link to your transaction?

@abourget

I've created a new transaction with the following authority

            "weight": 0
        },

        },
        {
            "key": "EOS8ZSQhzNqYn5nNnLARJzUMSwv1stbMNMPxHcsQ9W4SoztZ5mZ6K"
        }
    ],
    "accounts": [
        {
            "permission": {
                "actor": "deniscarrier",
                "permission": "active"
            },
            "weight": 1
        }
    ]
}

I did test if you only provide 1 public key with threshold of 1, the system does throw an error (so that's good).

Does throw an error

        {

        }
    ],
    "accounts": []
}

Should be resolved now.
