v6 unable to listen to "Transfer" events

[bomb-on]

Just installed v6.0.5 and trying out the following code:

const { BrowserProvider, getDefaultProvider } = ethers;
const { ethereum } = window;

const abi = [{
    "anonymous": false,
    "inputs": [
      {
        "indexed": true,
        "internalType": "address",
        "name": "from",
        "type": "address"
      },
      {
        "indexed": true,
        "internalType": "address",
        "name": "to",
        "type": "address"
      },
      {
        "indexed": true,
        "internalType": "uint256",
        "name": "tokenId",
        "type": "uint256"
      }
    ],
    "name": "Transfer",
    "type": "event"
  }];

const provider = new BrowserProvider(ethereum);
const contract = new Contract('0xabc...', abi, provider);
contract.on('Transfer', data => {
  console.log(data);
});

But I can't see any logs when the Transfer event is emitted. Am I doing something wrong here?

Using Metamask and testing against Avalanche Testnet.

I've been trying to make this work today, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. From the listeners configured in following way:

contract.on('Transfer', data => {
  console.log('Transfer', data);
});

contract.on(contract.filters.Transfer, data => {
  console.log('contract.filters.Transfer', data);
});

contract.on('*', data => {
  console.log('*', data)
});

provider.on('block', data => {
  console.log('block', data);
});

the only log I see in console is from provider.on('block') listener.

Any suggestion maybe what is misconfigured here?

According to your answer in #3838 (reply in thread)

Oh, sorry. Yes, contract.on("*", (event) => { console.log(event.eventName, event.args, event.log); }). The event object will be a ContractPayload.

event should be an object with args, eventName, eventSignature, fragment and log properties.

I am still troubled with getting most of these properties for transactions in both Testnet and Mainnet of Avalanche network with the latest v6 (6.0.8).

First of all, code like this:

contract.on('Transfer', data => {
  console.log('Transfer', data);
});

doesn't log anything, even though the transaction emitted Transfer event.

Listening on all possible events with code like this:

contract.on('*', event => {
  console.log('========================');
  console.log(event.args);
  console.log('------------------------');
  console.log(event.eventName);
  console.log('------------------------');
  console.log(event.eventSignature);
  console.log('------------------------');
  console.log(event.fragment);
  console.log('------------------------');
  console.log(JSON.stringify(event.log));
});

results in log like this:

Link to transaction in question on Mainnet: https://snowtrace.io/tx/0x07154a877cf7012e440f72490110f32b11ed2aff8750619d4b888766f93533f2

On Testnet, I wasn't able to catch any event at all, with any method (not even contract.on('*', listener);.

Could you please explain what could be the reason for not being able to catch Transfer events and why is event caught with "catch all" method (*) missing majority of documented properties, as well as not being able to catch any event on Testnet?

EDIT
I just downgraded to ethers@5.7.2, changed only code related to provider (switched from BrowserProvider to Web3Provider) and all contract listener methods from my previous post (contract.on('Transfer', listener);, contract.on(contract.filters.Transfer, listener); and contract.on('*', listener);) work perfectly fine. I guess that means there has to be some issue with listeners in v6 version.

Thanks for looking into this!

I added async and it worked. Refer here: #4424
