Motivation

If a non-legacy transaction was fetched from the mempool and then RLP-encoded for inclusion in e.g. a flashbots bundle, then the bundle would fail because the encoding only worked for legacy transactions. See onbjerg/ethers-flashbots#11 (comment)

Solution

RLP encode Transaction response types based on their transaction_type. I'm not super confident about this piece of code since it is a lot of duplicate logic from other files, but I'm not super well known in the codebase yet so I'm not sure what the best way is to improve it. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Yeah, I have some tests locally and some fixes too, but I want to add one more before pushing. Thanks for the PR on my fork, I'll take a look today :)

Should be good to go @gakonst

encoded.extend_from_slice(rlp_bytes.as_ref());
encoded.into()
}
_ => rlp_bytes,

WDYT about matching Some(x) if x == U64::from(0) and encoding with the 0x0 prefix, and default to rlp_bytes only when self.transaction_type is not present OR if the legacy feature is turned on?

NVM. You are right, forgot that we skip it for legacy txs:

Legacy(ref tx) => {
encoded.extend_from_slice(tx.rlp_signed(signature).as_ref());
}
