Unable to correctly sign transaction for witness_update

[eifos-git]

Hi all,

When using the lib I use my Active key to sign transactions. This works well for transfers for example.

var privKey = "5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
let pKey = PrivateKey.fromWif(privKey);
...
connect to beatrice, fetch accounts, build memo etc.
...
// Build transaction
let tr = new TransactionBuilder()
tr.add_type_operation( "transfer", {
    fee: {
        amount: 0,
        asset_id: feeAsset.get("id")
    },
    from: fromAccount.get("id"),
    to: toAccount.get("id"),
    amount: { amount: sendAmount.amount, asset_id: sendAsset.get("id") },
    memo: memo_object
} )
// Add fees, sign and broadcast
tr.set_required_fees().then(() => {
    tr.add_signer(pKey, pKey.toPublicKey().toPublicKeyString());
    console.log("serialized transaction:", tr.serialize());
    tr.broadcast();
})

This works and the transfer is completed successfully

But when trying to broadcast an update_witness command the authority fails

var privKey = "5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
let pKey = PrivateKey.fromWif(privKey);
...
connect to beatrice, fetch account
...
// Build transaction
let tr = new TransactionBuilder()
tr.add_type_operation( "witness_update", {
    fee: {
        amount: 0,
        asset_id: feeAsset.get("id")
    },
    witness: '1.6.XX',
    witness_account: witnessAccount.get("id"), // Resolves correctly 1.2.XX
    new_url: 'https://new.url',
    new_signing_key: "TESTMyfancynewSigningKey"
} )
// Add fees, sign and broadcast
tr.set_required_fees().then(() => {
    tr.add_signer(pKey, pKey.toPublicKey().toPublicKeyString());
    console.log("serialized transaction:", tr.serialize());
    tr.broadcast();
})

The fees are added correctly, and the transaction seems to be signed. However the Authority isn't accepted.

When I issue the same command in the cli_wallet it works, so must be something in the js-lib but I'm having trouble tracking it down. Any help appreciated.
