Getting last block fails

[silentlight]

Hi all,

When using:

const lastBlock = await this.connex.thor.block().get();

ocassionaly I get genesis block (height = 0).

Do you know what might be wrong.

if (!this.connex.thor.status.head.number) {
    await this.connex.thor.ticker().next()
}
const lastBlock = await this.connex.thor.block().get()

add lines to check the head number should work

Have you considered including that check in the block() function? this.connex.thor.status.head.number should never be null or undefined... await this.connex.thor.block().get() sometimes returns null. That is the same issue, isn't it?

await this.connex.thor.block().get() returns null only if the block specified by the given arg revision does not exists.

If you do not provide any argument to the block() function, await this.connex.thor.block().get() should return the head block, so it should never be null and it sometimes is. That looks like a bug to me. Same as this.connex.thor.status.head.number being null.

You're right. I'll look into the code. Can you provides some context of your code piece?

I am basically scanning blocks and once in a while await this.connex.thor.block().get() returns null.
