WebSocketProvider's getTransactionReceipt throws "unknown error" for pending tx

[danielattilasimon]

I believe other Providers return null in this case.

I think the error originates from this part:

ethers.js/packages/providers/src.ts/websocket-provider.ts

Lines 85 to 97 in 0d71cfb

	if (result.result) {
	request.callback(null, result.result);
	} else {
	if (result.error) {
	const error: any = new Error(result.error.message || "unknown error");
	defineReadOnly(error, "code", result.error.code || null);
	defineReadOnly(error, "response", data);
	request.callback(error, undefined);
	} else {
	request.callback(new Error("unknown error"), undefined);
	}
	}

When a receipt is not found, result.result will be null.

I think you are absolutely correct. I will look into this first thing in the morning and get a fix out.

Awesome, thanks so much!

This should be fixed in 5.0.0-beta.185. Let me know if you still have any problems. :)

Closing this now. Please re-open if you have any issues.

Thanks! :)
