Get pending block return null.

[adyshimony]

I'm running:

Parity version 1.11.3-beta
Which operating system ubuntu
How installed bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -LK)
Are you fully synchronized? yes
Network ethereum
Did you try to restart the node? yes

Trying to get pending block, return null.
let block = await web3.eth.getBlock('pending') return null

---

Latest is working good.
let block = await web3.eth.getBlock('latest')

• same code is running good on another machine with version 1.9.3.

Thanks,

Ady.

They changed the RPC response in 1.11.x - you have to use an earlier version if you want to continue using this functionality (still works with 1.10.6) - or use the 4th parameter from the eth_getWork response.

Why to break API? I don't get it... I need to change a lot of places in my code.
Thanks for the info, I will use getWork. BTW this 4th parameter is undocumented.
Also, those are 2 api calls instead of one, bad for performance.

Well I don't get it, latest return the same as pending, what I am missing here?
