UI RPC URL Discrepancy

[CruzMolina]

Hey MM team!

Noticed a discrepancy on the UI.

Are the current intentions to support the RPC URL as localhost 8545 or localhost 9545?

Thanks for your time! 🍫

What's running on that port, Ganache, parity, geth, or etc.?

Wouldn't it be nice if we could standardize on a port number for all local dev?

@tmashuang ganache is running on 8545 in that screenshot.

I'm unable to have MM connect w/ ganache on 9545 unless I specify correct Custom RPC settings. The discrepancy is more that the text at the top shows http://127.0.0.1:9545 while ganache is running on 8545.

We're overriding default localhost data. So if there was a previous connection to http://127.0.01:9545 / http://127.0.01:7545 it will change the localhost 8545 nickname we show at the selected network. Fix will be in the next version.

Also, a long rpc endpoint url (with auth) breaks the UI.

It overflows the container preventing access to the account switcher.
