BUG: query.identity is undefined

[bizk]

When using query.identity.identityof on typescript. Identity object will be undefined. I tried using older versions of the library 11.x and 12.x and also tried different rpc providers with no luck. Weird because before september this was working just fine.

Btw here is some sample code to try it out:

  // Connect to the Polkadot network
  const provider = new WsProvider('wss://rpc.polkadot.io'); // You can use other endpoints if needed
  const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider });

  // Fetch the identity information for the validator
  const { identity } = await api.query.identity.identityOf(validatorAddress);

  // Check if the identity exists
  if (identity && identity.display && identity.display.asRaw) {
    console.log(`Validator ${validatorAddress} has an identity: ${identity.display.asRaw.toString()}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`Validator ${validatorAddress} does not have an identity.`);
  }

  // Disconnect from the API
  await api.disconnect();

This is because the identity pallet doesnt exist on Polkadot anymore.

All identity functionality has been moved to the People System Parachain
