Segfault in DeployerActor.__init__() caused by infinite recursion #1165
Description
First, this is what TransactingPower.activate() does:
def activate(self, password: str = None):
"""Be Consumed"""
self.blockchain.connect(sync_now=False)
self.unlock_account(password=password or self.__password)
self.__password = None
self.blockchain.transacting_power = selfThat last line is going to cause trouble later. Moving on.
Now, the last part of the DeployerActor constructor does the following:
blockchain.transacting_power = TransactingPower(blockchain=blockchain,
account=deployer_address,
password=client_password)
blockchain.transacting_power.activate()
# TODO: Does this class want to be a Character implementing PowerUp consumption?
self.transacting_power = TransactingPower(blockchain=blockchain,
password=client_password,
account=deployer_address)
self.transacting_power.activate()The first call to activate() will produce an infinite recursion later, since it will create a closed loop of blockchain.transacting_power.blockchain.transacting_power.blockchain.transacting_power.blockchain.transacting_power.....
This closed loop causes a segfault the next time blockchain.transacting_power is called, during the second call toactivate()
