Error: Web3ProviderEngine does not support synchronous requests

[haraldini]

Fresh git clone, deploys locally without a problem.

npm run deploy ropsten_infura will fail with error above

[nventuro]

Hmm, maybe something changed in Infura? I recall deploying on ropsten with no issues. Could you detail which method it is that is unsupported? Thanks!

[haraldini]

This is error message

$ npm run deploy ropsten_infura

> [email protected] deploy /Users/username/projects/ethereum/crafty
> bash bin/deploy.sh "ropsten_infura"

Using network 'ropsten_infura'.

That is positively bizarre, it looks like the offending line is

const adminAddress = web3.eth.accounts[1];

@nventuro any updates on this issue? Seeing the same error message when trying to deploy to rinkeby with Infura
