'admin_chainSyncStatus method not implemented'

[Ryanmtate]

I am using the IPC socket to send the method; it returns:

{ id: 1, jsonrpc: '2.0',error: { code: -32601, message: 'admin_chainSyncStatus method not implemented' } }

payload looks like:

{jsonrpc: '2.0',method: 'admin_chainSyncStatus',params: [],id: 1};

Is the method no longer implemented?

Thanks,

Ryan

This method has been standardised. Take a look at eth_syncing.

Thanks, will update my code base.

What does standardised mean? If it means "obsolete", probably it should be removed from the docs then (wiki).

It means that it is part of the official API Ethereum nodes need to offer to be compliant. In this case the name has changed from admin_chainSyncStatus to eth_syncing. Could you point to the places in the wiki that where this old function is still mentioned?

Sure: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/JavaScript-Console#adminchainsyncstatus
