Diem CLI, txn_acc_seq, Transaction not available

Question

In the Diem (Libra) CLI:

libra% query txn_acc_seq 9f49240376634fdb3277adb91ed075ccfeff8d26d71a28d49958d51711a1e01d 0 true
>> Getting committed transaction by account and sequence number
Transaction not available

I get a similar input also with different sequence numbers (1,2,3,...)

I would expect this command to show the transactions associated to this address, why is this not happening?

Additional info: Just to confirm that the account did transactions in the past:

libra% query balance 9f49240376634fdb3277adb91ed075ccfeff8d26d71a28d49958d51711a1e01d
Balance is: 416.000000

Answer 1

txn_acc_seq | ts — Get the committed transaction by account and sequence number.

So it's only gonna work for transactions that you've sent.

If you wanna get received transactions you should use events

like this

query event 9f49240376634fdb3277adb91ed075ccfeff8d26d71a28d49958d51711a1e01d received 0 true 100

You can't get a mint transaction from CLI

Mint is not a transaction if you don't have a faucet account, if you check /client/src/client_proxy.rs you can see that mint is just a GET request to the faucet server

if you have a faucet account

Some(_) => self.mint_coins_with_local_faucet_account

if you don't have a faucet account

None => self.mint_coins_with_faucet_service

http://{faucet_server}?amount={num_coins}&address={receiver}

And the server make a mint request

You can find the source code for it in libra/docker/mint/server.py

"a m {} {}".format(address, amount / (10 ** 6)))

which will use self.mint_coins_with_local_faucet_account in the client

And mint itself mint_to_address in libra_account.mvir doesn't emit any events
