Badges do not survive browser refresh

[chevdor]

I'm running:

• Parity version: master
• Operating system: MacOS
• And installed: from source
• And Browser: Chrome

See also #6518.

I am using a badge known as working (Oprah2).
After certification (calling the certify() function of the badge contract), I wait for the event to fire.
At that point, the badge appears in Parity without any user action.

If the user refreshes the page, the badges are no longer displayed... ever. No refresh, parity restart, etc... make the badge appear again.

The only workaround I found is to revoke() and certify() again. Then the badge shows up again until the next refresh.

This applies to stopping parity, closing the web page and restarting parity.
So the TTL of badges is currently rather short 😢
I just testing that as well on Fundation.

Thanks for your report, added this to the long list of annoyances which are not going to be fixed until the new wallet is released. :)

[chevdor]

Looking forward to the new wallet then :)

The following issues are probably related:

• Tokens no longer show up #6636 all tokens no longer show up
• Registered new token but balance still not showing up #6549 new registered tokens do not show up
• Badges do not survive browser refresh #6534 badges are gone after browser refresh
• Badge display no longer works #6518 all badges no longer show up

In addition, tokens like GavCoin are totally malformed in the wallet, missing TLA and icon, and decimal places are ignored.

I marked these issues with highest priority as this needs to be fixed before the DOTs allocation and to distribute PICOPS badges.

If possible, this should go into 1.7.3 to enable beta users with proper badges and token balances again.

The current workaround for anyone having the issue is to keep your parity open and running, do no refresh, revoke your badge, grant the badge again.
Your badge will show up until you close parity. This is of course a poor workaround but allows you validating your Badge until this issue is fixed.

This is not an acceptable workaround :D

[chevdor]

I see improvements 👏 but there is still an issue.
Open an account, you will see the badges, now refresh the page => they are gone.

[5chdn]

are you saying you just pulled latest master and it does not work?

[chevdor]

Yes. It works better but there is still the issue I described.

Did you rebuild the UI too?

[jacogr]

It does disappear when on account and then refreshing. Not a P0 issue atm, but an annoyance indeed.

@chevdor adding you to the list of heros for this night.

Thank you @jacogr and @5chdn. I am not judging on Prio, just reporting what I see not working as I think it is easier to fix things when they are fresh. I will test again :)
