Subscripting a transaction's pre_token_balances and post_token_balances returns the same object?

[Omar Al Matar]

So let's say i fetch a transaction:

        tx_sig='4JsupFeVjPjLQfYLGGkDds6PZbfqhehJXYu5XryNN26hwChX9oPisZra61vvMzAK2xhQHa84r44aWaenD8hbjpgg',
        encoding="jsonParsed",
        commitment=None,
        max_supported_transaction_version=None,
    )

Then I print the transaction meta and I get:

pre_token_balances: Some(
                        [
                            UiTransactionTokenBalance {
                                account_index: 1,
                                mint: "cUBeL4fhn1yznohws5Gquc3CnomDJwKL7Bz24RSCEVu",
                                ui_token_amount: UiTokenAmount {
                                    ui_amount: Some(
                                        1.0,
                                    ),
                                    decimals: 0,
                                    amount: "1",
                                    ui_amount_string: "1",
                                },
                                owner: Some(
                                    "Bwinxuqwf5uNcqCAFG8Wqt7cGcirdPkthn4MbNXhJY8f",
                                ),
                                program_id: Skip,
                            },
                        ],
                    ),
                    post_token_balances: Some(
                        [
                            UiTransactionTokenBalance {
                                account_index: 1,
                                mint: "cUBeL4fhn1yznohws5Gquc3CnomDJwKL7Bz24RSCEVu",
                                ui_token_amount: UiTokenAmount {
                                    ui_amount: Some(
                                        1.0,
                                    ),
                                    decimals: 0,
                                    amount: "1",
                                    ui_amount_string: "1",
                                },
                                owner: Some(
                                    "GUfCR9mK6azb9vcpsxgXyj7XRPAKJd4KMHTTVvtncGgp",
                                ),
                                program_id: Skip,
                            },
                        ],
                    ),

then I do this:

pre_balances = response.transaction.meta.pre_token_balances
post_balances = response.transaction.meta.post_token_balances
print(pre_balances)
print(post_balances)

They both return the pre balances value

                        [
                            UiTransactionTokenBalance {
                                account_index: 1,
                                mint: "cUBeL4fhn1yznohws5Gquc3CnomDJwKL7Bz24RSCEVu",
                                ui_token_amount: UiTokenAmount {
                                    ui_amount: Some(
                                        1.0,
                                    ),
                                    decimals: 0,
                                    amount: "1",
                                    ui_amount_string: "1",
                                },
                                owner: Some(
                                    "GUfCR9mK6azb9vcpsxgXyj7XRPAKJd4KMHTTVvtncGgp",
                                ),
                                program_id: Skip,
                            },
                        ],
                    ),

I had to turn meta into a dict using loads(response.transaction.meta.to_json()) and only then could I access the proper token balances.
Even if I print the objects directly they print the same value, and even if I do
response.transaction.meta.post_token_balances == response.transaction.meta.pre_token_balances it returns True

Am I tripping?

I believe this is a Solana JSON RPC API issue. We don't have control over what the Solana Node returns back. Might want to ask someone at @solana-labs

I'm saying that the received object is correct, but when you subscript into the OBJECT, A wrong value is returned. as if: ``` obj = { '1': 'one', '2', 'two' } print(obj['1']) 'two' ```
