What is the best approach to wait till the tx is mined? web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt returns null, it does not wait for completion

Async await?

I get an error if I try to use async/await: TypeError: t is not a function

Maybe its because t is not a function🙃. You sure you are sending transaction inside a function?

will get accounts is printed. then undefined and then this error

the project is written in plain JS + Jquery if that helps

I used async await in react projects and that worked fine

in this project I can't do a single async/await somehow

I'm not sure if async-await is used that way in Vanilla Js

try removing that const

On the top line

same thing

First of all.

1) Stop using JQuery. Now.
2) There's a high chance that the problem derives from the fact that you aren't checking if web3 and web3.eth is initialized, exist and has a function named getAccounts().

Otherwise you're calling getAccounts() while it's not there yet.

add an if statement inside the try and check if web3.eth is there.

1) it is an existing project that the client asked me to build upon. I don't want to refactor everything now.
2) it works with traditional doSomething(). then(...)

web3 must be there, it is enabled once the page loads

and my function is invoked upon the click of the btn

Ooh wait

You are working with metamask right?

yes sir

Have you written the code for enabling metamask?

not me but it was written

and metamask popup shows up

Then we will need more info on it to be able to help you. Since you get the accounts printed, then undefined then an error seems like you're calling continuously the function

Something else is wrong in your logic

I think he was talking about the console log before that

"Will get accounts"

I mean it works with simple promises but I don't like this nested hell so I want to use async/await

yes

ok listen, try to log(web3.eth)

instead of accounts

it prints an object, sir

very big object

don't call me sir buddy — does it prints that only once?do you get undefined and error? or not?

I also get this error, not sure if related but previously I didn't get it:
An invalid form control with name='' is not focusable.

ah I guess it's because I forgot to event.preventDefault();

now no error do I see

is it safe to convert function param bytes to string in such a way:
bytes calldata _data
string(_data)
?

how to compare big numbers with web3js?

a.lt(b) to compare that a < b is okay I suppose?

have to: window.ethereum.enable()
