tx() responds "'validated': False" when txn is actually validated in the ledger (Version: [2.0.0])

[sgramkumar]

Issue Description

This issue was seen on altnet, where a Payment transaction was validated on the network, but tx() still responds 'validated': False even after 30 seconds

Steps to Reproduce

1. My local rippled is connected to altnet

2024-01-22 21:31:52: 'server_state': 'full', & 'complete_ledgers': 'empty',

Question: First of all, should this happen when server_state is full, complete_ledgers be "empty"?

2. Assuming, it was ok, after 30 seconds, a Payment transaction was submitted

2024-01-22 21:32:22: Payment transaction was submitted (Hash: CEB1FBCA545CB2E3A607888DBE2B0AC50A77BE1282EF4672E7DA4D7C45299325

3. Querying tx() every 5 seconds, returns 'validated': False Here is tx() response 29 seconds after the Payment transaction was submitted

2024-01-22 21:32:51: 'hash': 'CEB1FBCA545CB2E3A607888DBE2B0AC50A77BE1282EF4672E7DA4D7C45299325', 'status': 'success', 'validated': False}

4. Verifying the transaction on the explorer, the transaction was actually validated exactly at the time the Payment transaction was submitted.

As seen on the explorer:

This transaction was successful, and validated in ledger 44770635 on January 22, 2024 at 9:32:22 PM UTC

Expected Result

Shouldn't tx() be returning 'status': 'success', 'validated': True

Actual Result

'hash': 'CEB1FBCA545CB2E3A607888DBE2B0AC50A77BE1282EF4672E7DA4D7C45299325', 'status': 'success', 'validated': False}

Environment

Local rippled: 2.0.1-b1

If completed_ledgers is ~present~ empty, then the server has not found and downloaded a validated ledger yet. In a sense, it is talking to itself. You need to wait until you have a validated_ledger, and complete_ledgers shows something other than empty.

It's a little odd that you're server thought it was in full, but I don't have enough information to speculate why.

Here is another instance from devnet when server_state is full & complete_ledgers is not empty
