topUpBatch return Promise<void> while it should be Promise<BatchID>

[mahiarirani]

Looking at the topUp functions, it’s anticipated to return void while invoking the stamps.topUp function, which is expected to return a Batch ID.

• Could you please explain the rationale behind having it return void?
• Additionally, how can I determine the success of my topUp operation?
• Is it possible to modify the return value to match the API result or come close to it?

Hello @mahiarirani,

Thank you for your interest in the project.

Could you please explain the rationale behind having it return void?

It is certainly an oversight. There is no reason not to return BatchId in the response. However, do note that the BatchId does not change after the topup or dilute operations. It should be the same BatchId that you pass to these functions.

Additionally, how can I determine the success of my topUp operation?

You can monitor GET /transactions via the getAllPendingTransactions method to wait for all transactions to finish. After that, your Bee node should pick up the new batch values for your postage batch. You will not see the new amount on your batch right after the topup operation finishes, but it should update to the new values within a minute or two.

Is it possible to modify the return value to match the API result or come close to it?

Yes, I am linking a PR soon that will fix it.
