Need explanation, net node module return Not implemented error

[billyadelphia]

I'm trying to understand the issue about Not implemented error on net module, so I could try to fix an issue with web3 package

Here the code and the error messages

import net from "https://deno.land/[email protected]/node/net.ts";
import Web3 from "https://deno.land/x/web3/mod.ts";

const provider = new Web3.providers.IpcProvider(
      "/root/geth_data/geth.ipc",
      net
    );
const web3 = new Web3(provider);

error: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Not implemented
  throw new Error(message);

Expected behavior No error, web3 will connect normally to the ipc

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• deno version: 1.18.2
• std version: 0.125.0

IPC feature is not yet implemented in Deno, and therefore IPC features of std/node are not available yet.

The feature is worked on this PR https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/13566

Unix domain socket support as added in #2146

// demo.ts
import net from "https://deno.land/std/node/net.ts";
import Web3 from "https://deno.land/x/web3/mod.ts";

const provider = new Web3.providers.IpcProvider(
  "/root/geth_data/geth.ipc",
  net
);

const web3 = new Web3(provider);

console.log(web3);

$  deno run --unstable --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write ./demo.ts

...

Appears to be working as far as can tell. @billyadelphia would be good to confirm if all good your end?

I'm pretty sure this issue should be closed.

I confirmed the below script working now.

import net from "https://deno.land/[email protected]/node/net.ts";
import Web3 from "https://deno.land/x/web3/mod.ts";
const provider = new Web3.providers.IpcProvider("geth.ipc", net);
const web3 = new Web3(provider);
