Light.js not working with Infura

[mjdietzx]

Hey, been playing around with Light.js a bit, It's really awesome - really speeds up our DApp and simplifies the code! running into a problem with Infura though (MetaMask web3 provider is working well)

web3jsInfura = new Web3(new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider('wss://mainnet.infura.io/ws'));
light.setProvider(web3jsInfura.currentProvider);

import { makeContract, withoutLoading } from "@parity/light.js"; the failures i'm seeing below are from reading state from a contract

ie

myContract.variable$()
          .pipe(
            withoutLoading()
          )
          .subscribe(r => {
            console.log('variable', r);
          });

if i setup provider as in docs:

light.setProvider( Api.Provider.Ws('wss://mainnet.infura.io/ws') );

Thanks,
Mike

This is definitely a bug, it works if you set light.setProvider( Api.Provider.Ws('wss://kovan.infura.io/ws') );, i.e. only with parity nodes.

I'll investigate this and get back to you.

The issue should be fixed in v3.0.5
