synpress

Hello,

I had trouble confirming multiple transactions in a row. I have a loop that confirms them as follows (we know the number of transactions in advance):

cy
  .wrap(Array.from({ length: parseInt(numberOfTransactions) }, (x, i) => i++))
  .each(() => {
      cy.confirmMetamaskTransaction()
   })

It works well when all the transactions are already waiting for confirmation, waiting to start in parallel. However, in the scenario where there are x transactions following each other serially (one having to finish before the next is proposed for confirmation), only the first is confirmed, never the following ones. After the first one, it behaves as if synpress had lost all communication with metamask: it tries to confirm, but the transaction is never actually confirmed.

I tried to use cy.switchToMetamaskWindow() to confirm transactions manually, by clicking the buttons on the Metamask tab, but cypress functions does not seem to have any effect on that tab.

Thanks for the help, and for the great work on this package!

Hey @louis-md were you able to figure out how to do this? I'm facing the same problem

@drptbl is this something that synpress can do?

In my case I'd like to sign a tx every time an specific element gets rendered, like:

cy.get('[data-cy="elemente-0"]').should('be.visible').then(() => cy.confirmMetamaskTransaction())
cy.get('[data-cy="elemente-1"]').should('be.visible').then(() => cy.confirmMetamaskTransaction())
cy.get('[data-cy="elemente-2"]').should('be.visible').then(() => cy.confirmMetamaskTransaction())

What happens is after the first tx signed, no subsequent tx gets signed

Hi @noahgenesis

I have actually, but I noticed the version I used when writing this issue (1.20) is now very outdated (the latest version is 3.0.5 as I'm writing this). So I would suggest first to use the latest synpress and see if the problem is still there.

If that's the case, what I ended up doing was patching synpress using patch-package (see the patch file below), and used huge arbitrary timeouts (10s + 2mns) between each transaction in the loop:

      if (numberOfTransactions !== '0') {
        // eslint-disable-next-line cypress/no-unnecessary-waiting
        cy.wait(10000)
        cy.wrap(Array.from({ length: parseInt(numberOfTransactions) }, (x, i) => i++))
          .each(() => { cy.confirmMetamaskTransaction(undefined) })
        cy.get(`#success-id`, { timeout: 120000 }).should('be.visible')
      }

This lets synpress the time to detect the transaction, choose gas price, etc., and do this for each transaction. It ended up working as expected.

This is probably not the most efficient solution, nor the most up to date, so any help is still welcome. If I update synpress in my project and find a better solution I'll also post it here.

Thanks @louis-md! I'll give it a shot later on and come with the results

Update: I updated synpress to 3.5.1 [later update, now to 3.7.1] and my hack-arounds don't work anymore. I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work.

I'll post here if I find a way out, but I guess the best solution would be to add some options to cy.confirmMetamaskTransaction() to accept either the n next transactions, or all of them.

Workaround found and posted in related issue https://github.com/Synthetixio/synpress/issues/1042#issuecomment-1863661482.
