Contract address as `address` function argument

kraykov · May 7, 2019, 9:39am

Hello again,

I want to call a function that accepts an address with a contract address. How can I do that?

If I try to pass the decoded address I get this:
Error: Validation error: ["Argument index: 1, value: [#b5fc8a9b04090836b515bc7cffe26ac587e46fe0345f06eedd14034244dbf48a] must be of type [address]"]

If I try to pass the address as ct_... I get this:
Error: Data doesn't match expected type ak

I guess this should be fixed:

aeternity/aepp-sdk-js/blob/0599d7d50deadc2665cd222d7098cea8466f9cff/es/contract/aci.js#L114


      
          function validate (type, value) {
            const { t } = readType(type)
            if (value === undefined || value === null) return { require: true }
          
          
  switch (t) {
              case SOPHIA_TYPES.int:
                return isNaN(value) || ['boolean'].includes(typeof value)
              case SOPHIA_TYPES.bool:
                return typeof value !== 'boolean'
              case SOPHIA_TYPES.address:
                return !(value[2] === '_' && ['ak', 'ct'].includes(value.slice(0, 2)))
              default:
                return false
            }
          }
          
          
function encodeAddress (address, prefix = 'ak') {
            const addressBuffer = Buffer.from(address, 'hex')
            const encodedAddress = encodeBase58Check(addressBuffer)
            return `${prefix}_${encodedAddress}`
          }

Thanks.

Hello @kraykov,

Which version of sdk you are using? Try to update it to latest.
