MarkM mentioned Mesh not firing events when connected to Kovan on our discord.
Turns out Kovan uses a different structure for block headers then mainnet that isn't
rlpcompatible and since we are using go-ethereum'sEthClient, it is generating incorrect block hashes for Kovan blocks. More details on this discrepancy between mainnet and Kovan here: ethereum/go-ethereum#18166.The fix is to use a raw JSON RPC request to
eth_blockByNumberwhich returns a pre-computed block hash that is always properly formatted instead of re-computing the block hash given the block header struct returned fromEthClient'sBlockByNumber()method.Additionally, this PR also logs all BlockWatcher errors, which were not being logged previously.
