cleos get transaction does not work unless provide block hint

[shwuhk]

Is it a bug or my config is wrong? cleos get transaction does not work even I give a valid transaction id. It only works if I provide the block hint. The error message is

Error 3040011: The transaction can not be found
Error Details:

Upgrade nodeos to v1.3.0. If you're querying a remote node, you'll need to find one that has upgraded. A defect in transaction ID matching was fixed with PR #5723, included in that release. Replay is not required after the upgrade, as the stored data was adequate and its format did not change.

@jgiszczak I don't have any experience in upgrading nodeos. Is it as simple as running ./eosio_build.sh and then ./eosio_install.sh? Anything more need to be done?

[jgiszczak]

For best results:

eos $ ./eosio_uninstall.sh
eos $ git pull
eos $ git submodule update --init --recursive
eos $ ./eosio_build.sh
eos $ ./eosio_install.sh

@jgiszczak I follow your step and tried to reinstall but it seems did not work. Can you please help? Thanks.

I don't see the results of get info from nodeos. It's the server side that needs the upgrade, not the client.
