fix: bare except catches SystemExit; silent address fallback - #1764
Alicepoltora wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Two bugs in get_validators_for_transaction(): 1. ZeroDivisionError when all stakes are zero (genlayerlabs#1732): Added explicit check for total_stake == 0 with a descriptive ValueError before the probability calculation. 2. Mutable default argument for rng (genlayerlabs#1733): Changed rng=np.random.default_rng(seed=...) to rng=None with lazy initialization inside the function. The previous default was evaluated once at import time and shared across all calls, making validator selection predictable. Fixes genlayerlabs#1732 Fixes genlayerlabs#1733
to_checksum_address() could throw on malformed addresses. The bare except Exception: pass silently swallowed the error, causing the function to continue with an invalid contract_address. This could lead to missed ContractSnapshot creation for valid deployments. Changed to catch only (ValueError, TypeError) and return None early, so callers can handle the invalid address case explicitly.
1. worker_service.py:591 — bare 'except:' catches SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt, preventing clean process termination. Changed to 'except Exception:'. 2. accounts_manager.py:47,69 — to_checksum_address() failures were silently swallowed, causing non-checksummed addresses to be used for DB lookups. This creates inconsistent address casing and potential duplicate entries. Now raises ValueError on failure.

Handle the nullable factory result.
For a non-SEND transaction with a legacy snapshot and an invalid to_address, contract_snapshot_factory returns None. The hydration path then reads fresh.balance and can raise AttributeError. Make the factory and its Callable annotations return ContractSnapshot | None, then handle None in TransactionContext before reading .balance.

Pass consensus VRF output to validator selection.
get_validators_for_transaction uses a timestamp-seeded generator when rng is omitted. Identical validator sets can therefore produce identical selections within the same second. Pass consensus VRF-derived randomness through the appeal and timeout-recovery call sites.

Make the RNG isolation test distinguish generator reuse.
Both calls return one validator when the RNG is shared. This assertion therefore passes with the previous mutable default RNG.
Spy on np.random.default_rng or inject a factory. Assert that the function creates two separate generators.

decode_method_call_data() assumed the RLP long list header is always 2 bytes (prefix + 1 byte length). When payload >= 256 bytes, the header becomes 3+ bytes (0xF8 + N where N = byte count of length). Fixed by calculating the actual number of length bytes from the prefix byte: num_length_bytes = raw_bytes[0] - 0xF7. Also added guard for empty input to prevent IndexError. Fixes genlayerlabs#1745
