I am trying to pull a large array from Substrate storage, and when querying via node.js I get "Unable to decode Vec on index 0 Source is too large".
So switching to curl and the JSON RPC interface, I wanted to check I could generate hashes correctly in node.js and then use them to query via RPC directly. Trying
const { xxhashAsHex, blake2AsHex } = require('@polkadot/util-crypto');
const { stringToU8a } = require('@polkadot/util');
...
console.log(xxhashAsHex(stringToU8a("Sudo key"), 128));
(trying to follow Shawn's RPC page), I get:
0x845f1811116060262abe72f228571eca
But Shawn lists the answer as:
0x50a63a871aced22e88ee6466fe5aa5d9
Using Shawn's value in a json RPC call gives the expected result:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d
'{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"state_getStorage",
"params":["0x50a63a871aced22e88ee6466fe5aa5d9"]}'
http://127.0.0.1:9933/
> {"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"result":"0xd43593c715fdd31c61141abd04a99fd6822c8558854ccde39a5684e7a56da27d",
"id":1}
If I query sudo.key
directly, I do get the expected answer:
console.log((await api.query.sudo.key()).toHex());
> 0xd43593c715fdd31c61141abd04a99fd6822c8558854ccde39a5684e7a56da27d
So what gives?
