Blocknumber polling appears to be broken?

[jam10o-new]

Below is the relevant part of a bug report from a user on gitter

INFO 2019-02-27T15:54:26Z: parity_bridge_deploy: Deploying MainBridge contract
INFO 2019-02-27T15:54:26Z: bridge::deploy: sending MainBridge contract deployment transaction and waiting for 0 confirmations...
DeployMain: deployment transaction failed

Caused by:
SendTransactionWithReceipt: fetching last block number failed

Caused by:
Error(InvalidResponse("Error(\"expected value\", line: 1, column: 1)"), State { next_error: None, backtrace: InternalBacktrace { backtrace: None } })

Which seems to indicate that polling for blocknumber is failing - has there been any changes on the parity-ethereum side to explain this?

bridge>src>send_tx_with_receipt.rs the poll function inside impl Future is not executing the loop in the right sequence.. it is executing AwaitBlockNumber before it is executing AwaitSendTransaction..

^ will investigate
