Add tx hash to tracers

[kryvel]

Hi there,
Is it possible to get transaction hash in tracer?
Using this one or any other (custom) js tracer
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/master/eth/tracers/internal/tracers/call_tracer.js
I tried to use debug_traceBlock endpount, there are all necessary information except tx hash

My goal is to find all incoming transactions to my addresses by RPC API.

I just moved from parity, and they have trace_block.

TIA

So let me summarize:
From the js context, for certain transactions (that e..g touch your account), you want to spit out the tx hashes.

We agree, it's a feature worth having

I think this is a valid feature request, needs a bit of API massaging though. We'd need to modify CaptureStart to add some more contextual fields (block number, tx hash).

Hi,
Yes, exactly

cc @s1na want to have a go^ ?

result() has access to the transaction hash (ctx.txHash) now. I'm guessing that should be enough for the use-case. Closing the issue but please re-open if I misunderstood the feature request.

Is this available inside native tracers? I'm using a custom native tracer and currently am limited to mapping traces to txs via index.

Having something like this inside native tracer would be a great addition.

@pyropy Yep, the constructor to the tracer will receive a Context in which it is being executed.
