Problem: The code was still referencing removed startTime and endTime variables in the result object.
Solution: Updated to use calculated start and end timestamps instead.
// Before (error)
startTime: startTime, // undefined variable
endTime: endTime, // undefined variable
// After (fixed)
startTime: start, // calculated timestamp
endTime: end, // calculated timestampFeature: Real-time progress tracking with detailed logging of every operation.
Implementation:
- Added
ProgressLoginterface to track step, detail, timestamp, and type - Created
addLog()function to record progress - Implemented expandable details section (collapsed by default)
- Color-coded logs: info (blue), success (green), warning (yellow)
- Scrollable log viewer for long operations
- Shows timestamps for each step
User Experience:
Current Step: "Analyzing DEX Transactions"
Progress: 5 / 10
