Add a way to silence the message "Weird... Response for not a thing we sent"

[kashirin-dm]

Describe the Feature

I am currently testing various providers using ethers.js v6 and when I access one of the providers I keep getting a "Weird... Response for not a thing we sent" message.
I know the reason for this message (I'm running into provider restrictions) and I don't want this message to constantly appear in my console (thousands of messages in minutes), but in the code, it's just console.log() and I can't silence this message in any way.

I would like this message to have some level like console.debug() or an alternative way to silence this message.

Code Example

No response

This sounds absolutely like a bug. I’ll get in out in the next patch release.

I just looked up that error. It is something that needs some way of signalling. I will add it as an "error" event in the next minor bump.

Basically, it means the provider is sending back a response to a request that was never made. For example, it seems to be responding with an id="5" even though there was never a request made with id="5".

How are you able to trigger this?

I was accessing the Nodereal provider's endpoint using the free pricing plan. This plan has a rate limit per second that is 2 times lower than the number of transactions needed to extract data from the mempool. As a result, the success rate of the requests was about 60%, and in the remaining 40% of cases, I received a lot of console messages.

You can replicate this by using their free pricing plan.

I am encountering this issue also, because im testing my system using Alchemy's API, If you need help silencing this error let me know. Maybe as a workaround make a logger function of a sort?

Btw same with my thing, 50% of the time i get a bunch of these messages, looks like this

Fixed in v6.4.0.

Now an "error" event is emitted instead, for those that care to be informed and the console is left alone. :)

Thanks! :)
