eth_getBlockByNumber vs eth_getBlockByHash responses discrepancies

[yaanakbr]

We are running a curl request for eth_getBlockByNumber vs eth_getBlockByHash responses, For block 46772657, there is one transaction in the block. However, eth_getBlockByHash returns a chainId field in the transaction while eth_getBlockByNum does not return chainId field in the transaction.

Do you know why there is a difference for this block?

RPC backend version: Geth/v0.1.0-unstable-0a77db9c/linux-amd64/go1.20.1

Thanks for the help in advance! :)

I did start this conversation here:

https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/issues/6107#issuecomment-1603313548

But from what I read correctly, I was told to bring it up w/ geth so I am bringing this issue here :)

[sambacha]

chainId is missing in the response object, this is most likely due to client implementation differing from the execution spec. The latest release of geth, v1.13.12 has fixes to make the RPC conformant to the execution specification, probably fixed now.
