## Known Issues

- Passing a float type value in [watcher attributes](./src/testing/data/watcher.yml) throws error when sending `setRecord` message.
  ```
  failed to execute message; message index: 0: Invalid signature.: unauthorized
  ```

- When sending `setRecord` message, an integer value passed in watcher attributes is parsed as float type in laconicd while [unmarshalling json](https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/json#Unmarshal).

- `setRecord` message throws error when fileds in [Record](./src/types.ts) message are not assigned.
  ```
  failed to pack and hash typedData primary type: provided data '<nil>' doesn't match type 'string' [tharsis/ethermint/ethereum/eip712/eip712.go:33]
  ```
  Passing dummy values to work around issue.
