getTransactionsFromAddress and getTransactionsToAddress not working

[li-shihao]

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Install sui fullnode using the official docs

Expected Result

Receiving a list of transactions involving accounts. Tried the exact same query using https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io/ and works

{
	"jsonrpc" : "2.0",
	"id": "1",
	"method": "sui_getTransactionsFromAddress",
	"params": ["0x5fe6daf1b84e52c2d1e8f77f3c7b0b148d771da1"]
}

Actual Result

{
	"jsonrpc": "2.0",
	"result": [],
	"id": "1"
}

System Information

• OS: 5.18.16-arch1-1
• Compiler: rustc 1.63.0 (4b91a6ea7 2022-08-08)

Update: okay, so it appears that only transactions that take place after the full node starts to run are included in the result of the above two calls, even though this behavior is not exhibited in account balance, account objects and others.

Is this intended or does that mean that each time devnet is wiped we must update our fullnodes ASAP in order to get correct results?

When devnet is wiped, you should re-install fullnode form the latest sources. (Sometimes, older software will continue working, but it isn't guaranteed).

Additionally, you must wipe the fullnode's data directory when devnet is wiped. Fullnode tracks the state of the network and isn't designed to detect network wipes. Obviously in main net there never will be a network wipe, so we don't want to add code to support that.
