Ok, found the other bug. This should fix the libp2p issues I think |

instead of removing this error, can we instead filter above for the gossip promises? I.e.
// Gossip promises are kept for disconnected peers.
let iwant_peers = self
.gossip_promises
.peers_for_message(msg_id)
.iter()
.filter(|peer_id| self.connected_peers.contains_key(peer_id));There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was thinking about this. I don't mind.
The logic that went through my head was:
Adding this check adds a hashmap lookup for each peer, but a few lines down the page we do the exact same check.
I figured we are already doing the check, by just removing the error, we have no extra hash lookup, however the cost is we don't log an error in case a mesh peer isn't in the connected mapping (but we have these errors elsewhere).
Its such a tiny difference, so happy to do whatever you think is best, just explaining why I removed the error.

thanks for elaborating age! Do you know where else we check? It def doesn't make sense to double check this adding another iteration as you refer, I just think we shouldn't stop logging for this event

So yeah happy to do what you prefer.
I can't think of a way to keep the error without adding an extra hashmap lookup. Its a trivial lookup, and maybe the error is worth it. So I'm happy to go with the soln you have suggested here if you want the error.

Issue Addressed
We are seeing errors in gossipsub related to an inconsistent state between mesh peers and connected peers.
There appears to be a few problems. This PR will be updated as we find all the bugs.
The first I have noticed is that the IDONTWANT messages also look for in-flight gossipsub promises. When a peer disconnects we dont remove the tracking of in-flight gossipsub promises, because it is inefficient search (it's not index'd by peer-id). Therefore we can have disconnected peers in this mapping and if we go to send an IDONTWANT message, we will not have this peer-id in the connected mapping.
Am currently still searching for the others....
