EthrDIDProvider networks[] for Linea config does not work for didManagerAddService with options: { metaIdentifierKeyId }

[hylim-tech-lover]

Bug severity
3

Describe the bug
It came to notice that we will need to use meta-transaction with options: { metaIdentifierKeyId } for didManagerAddService as it is encapsulated as eth_sendTransaction RPC call under the hood.

However, despite setting up the parameters accordingly in correspond to the discussion thread in Discord which will be elaborated in To Reproduce section, the didManagerAddService still failed with the error shown in Observed behaviour section.

The code example is derived from Veramo Node Tutorial Example

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour (Linux OS):

1. Create empty folder with NodeJS installed (version stated below).

2. Create .env file with following:

   INFURA_API_KEY=
   KMS_SECRET_KEY=  '< you can generate a key by running `npx @veramo/cli config create-secret-key` in a terminal>'
   WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=
   

3. Obtain the following environment variable as followed:

   • Create API key and copy it to INFURA_API_KEY
   • Run npx @veramo/cli config create-secret-key and copy output to KMS_SECRET_KEY
   • Follow the instruction and copy to WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY . Take note to get testnet token from Linea Goerli faucet.

4. The example of final .env file:

   INFURA_API_KEY=xxxx
   KMS_SECRET_KEY=xxxxx
   WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=xxxxx
   

5. Create package.json and insert the following:

       {
       "name": "veramo-meta-tx-testing",
       "engines": {
           "node": ">=21.0.0 <22.0.0"
       },
       "type": "module",
       "scripts": {
           "execute-with-env": "esrun --node-env-file=.env"
       },
       "dependencies": {
           "@veramo/core": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/credential-w3c": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/data-store": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/did-manager": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/did-provider-ethr": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/did-resolver": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/key-manager": "5.5.3",
           "@veramo/kms-local": "5.5.3"
       },
       "devDependencies": {
           "@digitak/esrun": "3.2.24",
           "sqlite3": "^5.1.6",
           "typescript": "^5.1.6"
       }
   }

6. Run npm install to install all dependencies

7. Create tsconfig.json and insert the following:

   {
       "compilerOptions": {
           "preserveConstEnums": true,
           "strict": true,
           "target": "esnext",
           "module": "esnext",
           "rootDir": "./",
           "moduleResolution": "node",
           "esModuleInterop": true,
           "downlevelIteration": true
       }
   }

8. Create setup.ts and insert the following:

   // Core interfaces
   import {
       createAgent,
       IDIDManager,
       IResolver,
       IDataStore,

   // TypeORM is installed with '@veramo/data-store'
   import { DataSource } from 'typeorm';
   
   
   // DB setup:

               kms: {
                   local: new KeyManagementSystem(new PrivateKeyStore(dbConnection, new SecretBox(process.env.KMS_SECRET_KEY ?? ''))),
               },
           }),
           new DIDManager({
               store: new DIDStore(dbConnection),
               defaultProvider: 'did:ethr:linea:goerli',
               providers: {
                   'did:ethr': new EthrDIDProvider({
                       defaultKms: 'local',
                       networks: [
                           {
                               name: 'linea:goerli',
                               rpcUrl: `https://linea-goerli.infura.io/v3/${process.env.INFURA_API_KEY}`,
                               registry: '0x03d5003bf0e79c5f5223588f347eba39afbc3818',
                           },
                       ],
                   }),
               },
           }),
           new DIDResolverPlugin({
               resolver: new Resolver({
                   ...ethrDidResolver({
                       infuraProjectId: process.env.INFURA_API_KEY,
                       networks: [

               }),
           }),
           new CredentialPlugin(),
       ],
   })

9. Create add-service-endpoint.ts and insert the following:

   import { computePublicKey, SigningKey } from '@ethersproject/signing-key';
   import * as u8a from 'uint8arrays';
   import { MinimalImportableKey } from '@veramo/core';
   import { agent } from './setup';
   
   async function main() {
       try {
           // Helper function to find or create did if not found with default alias
           // Added for ease of test and reproduce
           const didToBeUpdated = await findOrCreateNewDid();
          
           if (didToBeUpdated) {
               // Helper function to create DID from private key that holds fund
               const importedIdentifier = await getMetaIdentifier();
               const res = await agent.didManagerAddService({
                   did: didToBeUpdated.did,
                   service: {
                       id: `${didToBeUpdated.did}#Test`,
                       type: 'Test',
                       serviceEndpoint: 'https://test.example.com',
                   },
                   options: { metaIdentifierKeyId: importedIdentifier.controllerKeyId },
               });
               console.log('success update DIDDoc of', didToBeUpdated.did ,"with txHash: " , res);
           }
       } catch (e) {
           console.error(e);
       }
   }
   
   main().catch(console.log);
   
   function importableKeyFromPrivateKey(
       privateKeyHex: string,
       kms: string,
   ): MinimalImportableKey {
       const privateBytes = u8a.fromString(privateKeyHex.toLowerCase(), 'base16');
       const keyPair = new SigningKey(privateBytes);
       const publicKeyHex = keyPair.publicKey.substring(2);
       return {
           type: 'Secp256k1',
           kid: publicKeyHex,
           privateKeyHex,
           publicKeyHex,
           kms,
           meta: {
               algorithms: [
                   'ES256K',
                   'ES256K-R',
                   'eth_signTransaction',
                   'eth_signTypedData',
                   'eth_signMessage',
                   'eth_rawSign',
               ],
           },
       };
   };
   
   async function getMetaIdentifier() {
       const privateKeyHex = process.env.WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY ?? '';
       const key = importableKeyFromPrivateKey(privateKeyHex, 'local');
       const compressedPublicKey = computePublicKey(`0x${key.publicKeyHex}`, true);
       const importedDid = `did:ethr:linea:goerli:${compressedPublicKey}`;
   
       return await agent.didManagerImport({
           did: importedDid,
           provider: 'did:ethr:linea:goerli',
           controllerKeyId: key.kid ?? `test`,
           keys: [key],
           services: [],
       });
   }
   
   async function findOrCreateNewDid() {
       const dids = await agent.didManagerFind({alias: 'linea-goerli-test'});
   
       console.log(`There are ${dids.length} identifiers`);
   
       if (dids.length > 0) {
           if (dids.length == 1) return dids[0];
       }
       else {
           const newDid = await agent.didManagerCreate({alias: 'linea-goerli-test'});
           console.log(`New did created:`);
           console.log(JSON.stringify(newDid, null, 2));
           return newDid;
       }
   }

10. Should have the similar file structure upon the steps above:
    

11. Run npm run execute-with-env add-service-endpoint.ts at project root directory and fails with error shown in Observed behaviour

}

Expected behaviour
It show success with txHashfrom didManagerAddService

success update DIDDoc of: did:ethr:linea:goerli:0x01g6..8t7p  with txHash: <txHash generated from the transaction sent to provider>

Example of success behavior will be illustrated in Details section with further elaboration

Details

1. Upon encountered with the Observed behaviour, I have tried to utilize the deprecated attributes in setup.ts:

   ...
   export const agent = createAgent<
      IDIDManager & IKeyManager & IDataStore & IDataStoreORM & IResolver & ICredentialPlugin
   >({
      plugins: [
          ...
          new DIDManager({
              store: new DIDStore(dbConnection),
              defaultProvider: 'did:ethr:linea:goerli',
              providers: {
                  'did:ethr': new EthrDIDProvider({
                      defaultKms: 'local',
   +                    network: 'linea:goerli',
   +                    rpcUrl: `https://linea-goerli.infura.io/v3/${process.env.INFURA_API_KEY}`,
   +                    registry: '0x03d5003bf0e79c5f5223588f347eba39afbc3818',
   -                    networks: [
   -                        {
   -                            name: 'linea:goerli',
   -                            rpcUrl: `https://linea-goerli.infura.io/v3/${process.env.INFURA_API_KEY}`,
   -                            registry: '0x03d5003bf0e79c5f5223588f347eba39afbc3818',
   -                        },
   -                    ],
                  }),
              },
          }),
          new DIDResolverPlugin({
              resolver: new Resolver({
                  ...ethrDidResolver({
                      infuraProjectId: process.env.INFURA_API_KEY,
                      networks: [
                          {
                              name: 'linea:goerli',
                              rpcUrl: `https://linea-goerli.infura.io/v3/${process.env.INFURA_API_KEY}`,
                              registry: '0x03d5003bf0e79c5f5223588f347eba39afbc3818',
                          },
                      ],
                  }),
              }),
          }),
          new CredentialPlugin(),
      ],
   })

2. Run npm run execute-with-env add-service-endpoint.ts at project root directory and it will success as shown below:

   success update DIDDoc of: did:ethr:linea:goerli:0x01g6..8t7p  with txHash:  0x56548..fe5f

3. To verify the updated DID, create list-did.ts and insert the following:

   import { agent } from './setup'
   
   async function main() {
   const identifiers = await agent.didManagerFind({alias: 'linea-goerli-test'});
   
   console.log(`There are ${identifiers.length} identifiers`)
   
   if (identifiers.length > 0) {
       identifiers.map((id) => {
       console.log(id)
       console.log('..................')
       })
   }
   }
   
   main().catch(console.log)

4. Run npm run execute-with-env list-did.ts and we could see that service is added as shown below:

Identifier {
  did: 'did:ethr:linea:goerli:0x...',
  provider: 'did:ethr:linea:goerli',
  alias: 'linea-goerli-test',
  controllerKeyId: '04...',
  keys: [
    Key {
      kid: '...',
      kms: 'local',
      type: 'Secp256k1',
    }
  ],
  services: [
    Service {
      id: 'did:ethr:linea:goerli:0x0...#Test',
      type: 'Test',
      serviceEndpoint: 'https://test.example.com',
      description: null,
      identifier: undefined
    }
  ],
  ...
}

Additional context

• Just wonder is this didManagerAddService with options: { metaIdentifierKeyId } function supported yet in CLI tool
• Apparently the local integration test does not cover for such use case yet on testnet network hence it is probably overlooked while doing the migration from deprecated attributes to networks[].

Versions:

• Veramo: 5.5.3
• Browser : N/A
• Node Version: v21.1.0

As additional knowledge for all, we are able to get this work with the following config mentioned in #1420:

     networks: [
        {
          name: SEPOLIA_TESTNET_NAMESPACE,
          provider: new JsonRpcProvider(
            SEPOLIA_TESTNET_RPC_URL,
            SEPOLIA_TESTNET_CHAINID,
+           { staticNetwork: Network.from(SEPOLIA_TESTNET_CHAINID) },  // <<<--- The important part.
          ),
          rpcUrl: SEPOLIA_TESTNET_RPC_URL,
          registry: '0x03d5003bf0e79c5f5223588f347eba39afbc3818',
          chainId: SEPOLIA_TESTNET_CHAINID,
        },
      ],

The information above could be a workaround on getting this to work.
