Description

JSON-RPC batch serialization skips the first call. A one-call batch therefore sends [], and larger batches send one fewer request than the configured size and reported batch label.

Serialize every call in order and honor an explicit request ID of zero. The restored first call receives ID 0; all previously emitted calls keep their positional IDs (1 onward). Repeated instances of the same RpcCall still receive distinct IDs in the serialized batch.

Add five offline unit tests covering singleton and multi-call batches, ordered parameters and IDs, repeated call instances, an explicit zero overriding an existing ID, and unchanged empty-input behavior. Run these through normal unittest discovery in the existing CI matrix.

Validation:

• Exact regression: original code fails 4 tests and passes the empty-input control; fixed code passes all 5. Independently rerun during review.
• Repository-pinned Black and isort, all project-source Flake8, MyPy (66 source files), Poetry check, source/wheel builds, CLI help and profile listing pass.
• Installed-wheel smoke checks confirm the real package includes the singleton batch and loads its CLI help.

Black was run with one worker after a Windows worker-pool stall. An initial unscoped Flake8 invocation included installed .venv dependencies; the CI scope plus tests and the complete project tree excluding that environment pass. The package build passes after resolving a local temporary-directory permission restriction.

No benchmark, RPC request, endpoint discovery, credentials, wallet, signing or transaction operation was run. Prepared with AI assistance; independent review was also performed by an AI agent.

Walkthrough

The JSON-RPC helpers now apply an explicit request ID of zero and generate batch request bodies for every call using IDs starting at zero. New unit tests cover batch behavior, and the checks workflow runs unittest discovery.

Changes: JSON-RPC batch request behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Correct request ID handling chainbench/util/jsonrpc.py	request_body now applies an explicit request_id of 0. Batch generation now includes every call and assigns IDs starting at 0.
Test batch generation in CI tests/test_jsonrpc.py, .github/workflows/checks.yml	Tests cover single, ordered, repeated, and empty batches, plus an explicit ID of 0. The checks workflow runs unittest discovery through Poetry.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: erwin-wee

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 84051

The change restores omitted batch calls and honors request ID zero. The existing named-parameter concern remains actionable, but no new merge-blocking risk is established for these changes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Preserve object-valued JSON-RPC parameters.

When a batch contains RpcCall("starknet_call", params_dict), RpcCall.request_body changes the named-parameter object to a one-element array. JSON-RPC 2.0 requires an object for by-name parameters, so the endpoint can reject the call. Keep dictionaries unchanged and wrap only positional parameters at the call site.

Suggested fix

-        if type(self.params) is dict:
-            self.params = [self.params]
-
         if request_id is not None:
