I am new to both substrate and rust so trying to educate myself. I've the read documentation for both and am now going through the various tutorials and guides. I'm currently on the Basic Storage Migration Guide but trying to complete it using the #[pallet::storage] notation instead of decl_storage! which I understand is no longer considered best practise. The guide uses the Nicks pallet as an example, updating it form a single name to a first and last name. I'm trying to do the same.

I've added a migration module with a deprecated pallet (haven't added the migration function yet but this will come later), crated a struct holding a BoundedVec for the first name and Option for the last name, updated the storage and updated the various functions to accordingly. I've derived Encode, Decode, MaxEncodedLen and TypeInfo for my struct and am using T::MaxLength to define the length of the BoundedVecs:

    //! # Nicks Pallet
    //!
    //! - [`Config`]
    //! - [`Call`]
    //!
    //! ## Overview
    //!
    //! Nicks is an example pallet for keeping track of account names on-chain. It makes no effort to
    //! create a name hierarchy, be a DNS replacement or provide reverse lookups. Furthermore, the
    //! weights attached to this pallet's dispatchable functions are for demonstration purposes only and
    //! have not been designed to be economically secure. Do not use this pallet as-is in production.
    //!
    //! ## Interface
    //!
    //! ### Dispatchable Functions
    //!
    //! * `set_name` - Set the associated name of an account; a small deposit is reserved if not already
    //!   taken.
    //! * `clear_name` - Remove an account's associated name; the deposit is returned.
    //! * `kill_name` - Forcibly remove the associated name; the deposit is lost.

I understand that it is telling me that T needs to implement MaxEncodedLen and TypeInfo but I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried many different permutatations from using Vec instead of BoundedVec to implementing the suggestions from the compiler, but whatever I do generates errors of one kind or another. So I've reached the point where it's time to ask for help!

I'm sure this is a newbie question that somebody with more experience resolve in seconds.

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • @ShawnTabrizi, Great, yes solution 1 from that link, using codec(mel_bound()) and scale_info(skip_type_params(T)) macros, solved my problem. Out of interest, how would you get solution 2 to work in my case? I tried it but couldn't find a way for the BoundedVec to have a size known at compile time without using T::MaxLength. For my understanding it would be good to know if that can be implemented somehow. Thanks for your help!

  • You need a MaxLength for BoundedVec. There is no way around that, so I am not sure what exactly you are asking.

in your code you are trying to replace an expected BoundedVec<u8, T::MaxLength> with your NickName's struct.

        #[derive(Encode, Decode, MaxEncodedLen, TypeInfo)]
        pub struct Nickname<T: Config> {
            first: BoundedVec<u8, T::MaxLength>,
            last: Option<BoundedVec<u8, T::MaxLength>>,
        }
    
        impl<T: Config> Nickname<T> {
            fn max_encoded_len() -> usize {
                let maxLength = T::MaxLength::get() as usize;
                maxLength * 2
            }
        }
    
        /// The lookup table for names.
        #[pallet::storage]
        pub(super) type NameOf<T: Config> =
            StorageMap<_, Twox64Concat, T::AccountId, (Nickname<T>, BalanceOf<T>)>;

I suggest you review the latest Nicks pallet code and replace your #[pallet::storage] macro with the proper according changes: https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/master/frame/nicks/src/lib.rs

  • Hi Pablo, Thanks for your help. The pallet code you recommend was where I started. I am trying to update from that to a pallet which takes a first and last name instead of just one name. As is described in link. Any idea how to do that using the #[pallet::storage] syntax?

@ShawnTabrizi answered the question perfectly in the comments. Adding it here as an answer to make it easier for others to find. All credit goes to @ShawnTabrizi. The solution is to add codec(mel_bound()) and scale_info(skip_type_params(T)) macros to the struct that needs to be stored when the struct includes BoundedVecs. Because BoundedVecs need a MaxLength parameter, T can not be avoided, the compiler mistakenly believes that T therefore needs to implement MaxEncodedLen and TypeInfo. The macros above tell the compiler that it doesn't. More information here: How to fix `parity_scale_codec::MaxEncodedLen` is not implemented for `T`?

    I think it would be better to summarize the answer first, and then, in a footnote give credit to Shawn, otherwise it looks like you're @ messaging them instead of answering the question.
