Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Introduced new debugging methods to the Ethereum JSON-RPC API, enhancing transaction and block tracing capabilities.

    • debug_traceBlockByNumber
    • debug_traceBlockByHash

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces three new methods to the Ethereum JSON-RPC API specification in the api/api.go file. These methods are debug_traceTransaction, debug_traceBlockByNumber, and debug_traceBlockByHash, which enhance the API's debugging capabilities by enabling tracing of transactions and blocks. No other significant changes to existing logic or control flow are made, and the overall structure of the BlockChainAPI class remains intact.

Changes

File	Change Summary
api/api.go	Added method signatures for debug_traceTransaction, debug_traceBlockByNumber, and debug_traceBlockByHash.

🐰 In the code, we hop and play,
New methods added, hip-hip-hooray!
Debugging now, we trace with ease,
Transactions and blocks, like a gentle breeze.
With every line, our API grows,
Hopping forward, as progress flows! 🐇

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

Line range hint 1-1024: Summary of review findings

1. The addition of new debug methods (debug_traceTransaction, debug_traceBlockByNumber, and debug_traceBlockByHash) to the validMethods map is correct and aligns with the PR objectives.

2. There's a discrepancy between the AI-generated summary, which mentions new method implementations, and the visible changes in the code snippet. This needs to be addressed.

3. No other relevant changes were found in the visible part of the file.

Suggestions:

1. Verify the implementation of the new debug methods in the codebase.
2. Address the inconsistency between the AI-generated summary and the actual code changes.
3. If the implementations are missing, consider adding them to complete the feature.

To maintain a clear separation of concerns, consider implementing the new debug methods in a separate DebugAPI struct, similar to how BlockChainAPI is structured. This would help organize the codebase and make it easier to maintain and extend in the future.

73-77: LGTM! Verify implementation of new debug methods.

The addition of debug_traceTransaction, debug_traceBlockByNumber, and debug_traceBlockByHash to the validMethods map is correct and aligns with the PR objectives. The naming convention is consistent with existing methods.

To ensure these methods are properly implemented, please run the following script:

If the script doesn't return any results, it might indicate that the implementations are missing or located in a different file.
