waitOnReceipt function doesn't work in solidity, running on SuperBlocks - ethereum

Question

Running on https://studio.superblocks.com/ trying to make a a fun game in Solidity. the problem happens when I call waitfor receipt inside the "addKity" function. Any ideas why? I suspect it could be because of a technical issue in superblocks but could very well be because of a coding error I have.
It reaches the "heres" alert but doesn't reach alert("4");
Please let me know your thoughts!

Answer 1

First, the waitForReceipt function is getting called passing an undefined value txHash. In that context, it should be result instead (the value coming from the callback that activated that call, triggered by sendTransaction).
That change will make waitForReceipt call work.
The other problem is that you have the web3 variable named as web3_instance, but you still refer to it as web3.
Considering that, inside waitForReceipt, you are still referencing to it as web3.eth..., while the correct call in that context would be: web3_instance.eth.getTransactionReceipt....
With that fixed, alert("4") will get called as intended.
