I'm running parity --geth and attaching to it with geth attach. I can use the web3.js that is built into that attached console. For example, I can get the latest block info.

However, when looking up how many transactions I have pending, I get this error:

> eth.pendingTransactions
Error: Method not found
    at web3.js:3104:20
    at web3.js:6191:15
    at get (web3.js:6091:38)
    at <unknown>

I understand that the underlying parity RPC call is different. I was hoping that the --geth flag on parity would take care of that. Is there any way to get the console to return this info?

The --geth flag has no impact on the available APIs. Here are your options for pending transactions:

  • Right, I'm familiar with the RPC API, I was wondering if there was any way to do it from the web3.js object in geth attach. Are you implying that there is no way to do that, currently? – carver Sep 14 '17 at 14:46
  • Well, Geth was designed to work with Geth in the first place, and Parity can not maintain a compatibility mode forever. In the long-term you can expect a Parity console at some point. Meanwhile, you can use the browser console or nodejs console, have a look at: github.com/paritytech/parity/wiki/… – Afr Sep 15 '17 at 7:23
