I am using web3.js version 0.20.6. I want to find the total transaction count so that I can set my nonce correctly.
Currently, I am calculating the number of transactions in the following manner:
getCount = async function(address){
web3.eth.getTransactionCount(address, async function(err, count){
var confirmedTransactionCount = count; //this is obtained correctly
client = new rpc.Client(options);
client.call(
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "txpool_content", "params": [], "id": 1},
function (err, res) {
var pendingTransactionCount = res["pending"][address].length;
//here res["pending"][address] is always 'undefined'
}
})
};
As I mentioned, the value res["pending"][address] is always undefined. I can see there are entries for other addresses, however there are no entries for the sender's address I used to create and broadcast a transaction.
I can see that the transaction is in pending state on etherscan. Is it because the txpool_content is specific to a node and the node I am pointing to does not contain my transaction?
PS: there might be some syntactical error in the code snippet here, but essentially this is my code and I have made sure the values in all variables are being set correctly
