eth_newFilter RPC incompatibility - fromBlock and toBlock should default to "latest"

[jaeaster]

When we stream events from an event filter, ethers-rs omits fromBlock and toBlock ... those are optional args and seems like FVM implicitly requires those args, otherwise we do not receive any events when we should. They should both default to "latest" as per infura docs.

https://docs.infura.io/infura/networks/ethereum/json-rpc-methods/filter-methods/eth_newfilter

I wasn't able to verify the actual behavior from a quick glance through the code. Perhaps those args are defaulting to "latest", but the subsequent behavior is different.

What I expect to happen is when I install a filter, I can query that filter over time and receive any logs matching the filter from the block when the filter is installed until I stop querying the filter or it's uninstalled, etc.

Here's an example snippet of code using ethers-rs (the stream() method omits fromBlock and toBlock).

        let events = self.contract.new_dkg_created_filter();
        let mut stream = events.stream().await?;

This code works with other RPCs, but never receives future events on Wallaby. However, when I add fromBlock = 'latest' and toBlock = 'latest' explicitly, I do receive the events I expect.

Looked closer at the code, fromBlock and toBlock default to "latest" as expected, so this doesn't seem to be the root of my issue. Will update with more details once I figure it out.

Yes - I was mistaken. I made a different issue to describe the actual problem I experienced

Closing this issue as it's irrelevant
