Cannot construct proper call

[vikiival]

Context

I am trying to compose a dummy identity.setIdentity call

     const call = api.tx.identity.setIdentity({
        display: {
          type: "Raw",
          value: formData.displayName,
        },
        email: {
          type: "Raw",
          value: formData.email,
        },
        additional: [
          [{
            type: "Raw",
            value: "discord",
          },
          {
            type: "Raw",
            value: "Open Hack Dedot",
          }]
        ],
        legal: {
          type: "None",
        },
        web: {
          type: "None",
        },
        riot: {
          type: "None",
        },
        image: {
          type: "None",
        },
        twitter: {
          type: "None",
        }
      })

However based on the types everything is correct but the call results in the fail

UserForm.tsx:92 Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'type')
    at Object.encode (dedot.js?v=49664071:3591:15)
    at Shape.subEncode (dedot.js?v=49664071:2310:43)
    at Shape.subEncode (dedot.js?v=49664071:1640:14)
    at dedot.js?v=49664071:1692:14
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at Shape.subEncode (dedot.js?v=49664071:1691:13)

    at dedot.js?v=49664071:1692:14
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at Shape.subEncode (dedot.js?v=49664071:1691:13)

When I try the simpler call like remark

const call = api.tx.system.remark(formData.displayName)

I am able to create a proper tx

Hey @vikiival, thanks for raising the question.

1. What is the chain that you're connecting to to set the identity. Different chain might have different types for the identity pallet. So e.g if you're connecting to Westend you might want to use WestendApi when constructing the client.

import { DedotClient, WsProvider } from 'dedot';
import { WestendApi } from '@dedot/chaintypes';
import { WESTEND } from './networks.ts';

// initialize the client and connect to the network
const client = new DedotClient<WestendApi>(new WsProvider(WESTEND.endpoint));
await client.connect();

// OR via static factory
const client = await DedotClient.new<WestendApi>(new WsProvider(WESTEND.endpoint));

2. You might want to update the @dedot/chaintypes package to the latest version so the types will be updated as well to reflect the latest metadata changes.
3. You might also want to update dedot package to the latest version as well.
