Trouble with broadcasting

[MrXtar]

Chrome. Windows.

I'm trying to broadcast custom_json. And sometimes the transaction not included in blockchain.

For example, sending custom JSON {"test":"test0.9343139010386905"}

with command:

steem.broadcast.customJson(
'MY_WIF',
[],
['xtar'],
'test',
'{"test":"test0.9343139010386905"}',
function(err, result) {
console.log(err, result);
});

Getting response. err is null and result is:

{"ref_block_num":3762,"ref_block_prefix":780210655,"expiration":"2017-03-16T15:09:05","operations":[["custom_json",{"required_auths":[],"required_posting_auths":["xtar"],"id":"test","json":"{"test":"test0.9343139010386905"}"}]],"extensions":[],"signatures":["1f4b4b8f43f0224fdfc8d5bd8175bd49b98c3eb8a881bd62686f1708c6fc481d9534cba6cfc3a4fea555fd4c36aa0f2086b31f43a654e1b282f699278a25928b96"]}

Immediately after sending I see the transaction in my history with steem.api.getAccountHistory, But it disappears in 3 seconds.

And no transaction in blockchain included:

Not every time. Sometimes.

Why it happening?

Try it many times. Do you have the same issue too?

Are you still experiencing this issue?

Seems like this would not be a bug in this library?

This sounds like the bug in steem itself where posts were showing up and then vanishing. I don't know if there is a bug number for it but reports of it were all over the place on steemit.

I don't think that this is a bug:

A custom json operation has 2 validations:

• The id has less than 32 chars
• and the json data needs to valid UTF8 json

--> That means the operation is always acccepted.

When the operation is now added into a block (which happens ~3 seconds) Steem is searching for something that can apply the block by using the id. E.g. if the ID is set to "follow", the follow plugin will say "Hay, I can process this shit" and will check and apply it. As you used "test" as the id and I wasn't able to find something that can process this id in the source code, I guess that the custom_operation_interpreter is used which simply returns 0. So I would assume that the operation is not accepted to added to a block ...

As this is an official steem repo you may have better connections to clarify this with a Steem Dev Team member, but from my point of view it is working as expected.
