43-47: LGTM: Sorting mechanism implemented correctly.

The sorting of events by their EventIndex is implemented efficiently using sort.Slice. This change aligns well with the PR objective and ensures that events are processed in the correct order.

Consider adding a brief comment explaining why sorting is necessary:

// Sort events by EventIndex to ensure correct processing order
sort.Slice(events.Events, func(i, j int) bool {
    return events.Events[i].EventIndex < events.Events[j].EventIndex
})
models/events_test.go (1)

166-176: Clarify variable naming for better readability

Consider renaming the variable txIndex to eventIndex to better reflect its role as the reversed event index. This enhances code readability and reduces potential confusion with txIndex used elsewhere.

Apply this diff to implement the change:

 for i := 0; i < txCount; i++ {
 	tx, _, txEvent, err := newTransaction(uint64(i), uint16(i))
 	require.NoError(t, err)

 	// make the Flow events come in reversed order
-	txIndex := (txCount - 1) - i
-	txEvent.EventIndex = txIndex
+	eventIndex := (txCount - 1) - i
+	txEvent.EventIndex = eventIndex

-	hashes[txIndex] = tx.Hash()
+	hashes[eventIndex] = tx.Hash()
 	blockEvents.Events = append(blockEvents.Events, txEvent)
 }

@m-Peter

I have a code like this not sure about your use case but maybe also need to order for transactionIndex:

sort.Slice(cadenceEvents, func(i, j int) bool {
	if cadenceEvents[i].TransactionIndex != cadenceEvents[j].TransactionIndex {
		return cadenceEvents[i].TransactionIndex < cadenceEvents[j].TransactionIndex
	}
	return cadenceEvents[i].EventIndex < cadenceEvents[j].EventIndex
})

there were some problematic blocks.

there were some problematic blocks.

@bluesign I assume this applies only to EVM.TransactionExecuted events, right? Could you share any such blocks? So I can investigate what went wrong and how to mitigate that.

Update: I added such a fallback sorting in 8cbfa77, just to be on the safe side.

25-25: LGTM: Improved event type checking.

The use of exact qualified identifier matching with the new constants in isBlockExecutedEvent and isTransactionExecutedEvent functions enhances reliability and potentially improves performance.

Consider caching the result of event.EventType.QualifiedIdentifier in a variable before comparison to slightly improve readability:

eventTypeID := event.EventType.QualifiedIdentifier
return eventTypeID == BlockExecutedQualifiedIdentifier // or TransactionExecutedQualifiedIdentifier

Also applies to: 33-33


47-54: LGTM: Implemented event sorting as per PR objective.

The new sorting mechanism ensures that events are processed in the correct order, addressing the main objective of this PR. The implementation correctly sorts first by TransactionIndex and then by EventIndex, aligning with the suggestion made in the PR comments.

Consider extracting the comparison logic into a separate function for improved readability:

sort.Slice(events.Events, func(i, j int) bool {
    return compareEvents(events.Events[i], events.Events[j])
})

func compareEvents(e1, e2 flow.Event) bool {
    if e1.TransactionIndex != e2.TransactionIndex {
        return e1.TransactionIndex < e2.TransactionIndex
    }
    return e1.EventIndex < e2.EventIndex
}
models/events_test.go (3)

157-227: LGTM: Comprehensive test case for event ordering.

This new test case effectively verifies the sorting mechanism for EVM events based on both TransactionIndex and EventIndex. It covers various scenarios and includes assertions for both Flow events and EVM transactions/receipts ordering.

Consider adding a comment explaining the significance of the specific TransactionIndex and EventIndex values chosen for each transaction. This would enhance the test's readability and make it easier for other developers to understand the test scenarios.


Line range hint 299-327: LGTM: Updated newTransaction function with txIndex parameter.

The newTransaction function has been correctly updated to include the txIndex parameter, and the Index field of the types.Result struct is now properly set. This change supports the new event sorting mechanism based on transaction indices.

Consider adding a comment explaining the purpose of the txIndex parameter and its role in event sorting. This would improve the function's documentation and make it clearer for other developers.


Line range hint 1-391: Overall assessment: Changes align with PR objectives and improve test coverage.

The modifications in this file successfully implement and test the new event sorting mechanism based on TransactionIndex and EventIndex. The changes are consistent throughout the file, and the new test cases provide comprehensive coverage for the updated event processing logic. These updates effectively address the PR's objective of sorting Flow events received from the Event Streaming API.

To further enhance the robustness of the tests, consider adding edge cases such as:

  1. Events with identical TransactionIndex but different EventIndex values.
  2. A large number of events to test the sorting algorithm's performance.
  3. Events with very high TransactionIndex or EventIndex values to ensure proper handling of integer overflow.

Why Event Streaming API returns a different order?

Can we mention what was the default order?

And have we thought about changing the order in the EventStreaming API?

That's a good question. So the default order seems to be ascending, for the most part. I am not sure if the Event Streaming API does offer such a guarantee, on the received order of the events.

However, regardless of whatever fixes we chose to do on the Event Streaming API, there are blocks that have EVM-related events out-of-order, see: #622 (comment).

And some other cases:

FlowTxIndex: 0, FlowEventIndex: 15
[EVM]:  A.e467b9dd11fa00df.EVM.TransactionExecuted(hash: [...], index: 0, ...)
FlowTxIndex: 0, FlowEventIndex: 16
[EVM]:  A.e467b9dd11fa00df.EVM.TransactionExecuted(hash: [...], index: 1, ...)
FlowTxIndex: 1, FlowEventIndex: 15
[EVM]:  A.e467b9dd11fa00df.EVM.TransactionExecuted(hash: [...], index: 0, ...)

This case though seems to be a race, as the index field of EVM.TransactionExecuted is not strictly increasing in the scope of an EVM block.

In order to incorporate the offchain package from flow-go, and replay EVM blocks & transactions to build a local state index, it is a prerequisite that we supply the blocks & transactions in the correct order, otherwise there will be state mismatches.

So the change in this PR, is more of a safety check, to ensure that we can mitigate such cases, no matter how the 3rd party tools, such as Event Streaming API, behave.

157-227: LGTM: Comprehensive event ordering test with room for enhancement

The test case effectively validates the event ordering requirements by:

  1. Testing mixed TransactionIndex and EventIndex values
  2. Verifying both transaction and receipt ordering
  3. Including block events in the verification

Consider enhancing the test coverage with:

  1. Edge cases (e.g., maximum uint16 values for indices)
  2. Additional assertions for event payload consistency

Would you like me to provide examples of additional test cases?
