I have a method on my contract:
function reservePlace(address _address, uint _place) public{
require(places[_place] == 0, "Place is already reserved");
userIds[_address] = lastUserId;
places[_place] = lastUserId;
lastUserId += 1;
}
and it works perfectly on truffle, I can execute it and works well
but when I use web3 and I pass:
contract.methods
.reservePlace("0x95f086ee384d54a056d87dC8A64E354cC55E2690", 1)
.call();
it doesn't do anything, also it doesn't show any error. Other methods work fine when I use them with web3 so web3 setup is correct. How can I solve it?
This is because you are calling data from the blockchain instead of sending it. In order for it to work, you should call:
contract.methods.reservePlace("0x95f086ee384d54a056d87dC8A64E354cC55E2690", 1).send({from:'your authorized address'});

Here's my contract.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >= 0.7.3;
contract terceiroTest {
// We pass and old String, a new string and when this event is
// broadcast everybody is able to see that the even happened.
// and see the strings exposed too.
event UpdatedMessages(string oldStr, string newStr);
string public message;
// When this contract is deployed we require an argument passed called initMessasge
constructor (string memory initMessage) {
message = initMessage;
}
function update(string memory newMessage) public {
string memory oldMsg = message;
message = newMessage;
emit UpdatedMessages(oldMsg, newMessage);
}
}
and it gives me the error:
I've tried to find any kind of description about this error, even changed solidity's version. I'm studying about smartcontracts still, if someone having or had the same error I would apretiate for enlighting me. Thanks.
I have had similar problems and they all resolved by themselves. It is possible that there is no issue in your code and the issue is with etherscan.
Here are a few things I recommend to triage:
Submit again
Give gap between submission and verification
Try a different env like polygonscan.
Manually submit from their UI.
I took your contract and tested it in my hardhat env. Everything worked fine. Maybe there's something else happening in your local setup?
Try again with a fresh hardhat setup. Try using this 'badass hardhat setup' https://github.com/mistersingh179/badass-hardhat-setup
I used that setup as a clean slate, started my localhost chain, and then connected that to my sidekik interface to test the functions. Your code works fine. Example here:
I am using ganache to create 10 ethereum accounts. I want to transfer ethereum from one account to a smart contract. I am doing this by writing two following smart contracts in solidity;
pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.6.0;
contract Ether_Transfer_To{
function () external payable { //fallback function
}
function get_balance() public returns(uint){
return address(this).balance;
}
}
contract Ether_Transfer_From{
Ether_Transfer_To private the_instance;
constructor() public{
//the_instance=Ether_Transfer_To(address(this));
the_instance=new Ether_Transfer_To();
}
function get_balance() public returns(uint){
return address(this).balance;
}
function get_balance_of_instance() public returns(uint){
//return address(the_instance).balance;
return the_instance.get_balance();
}
function () external payable {
// msg.sender.send(msg.value)
address(the_instance).send(msg.value);
}
}
When I deploy the contract Ether_Transfer_From smart contract then I get its three-member functions as follows in remix;
But when I sent one 1 Wei from account to smart contract by writing 1 in the text box and clicking on a (fallback) button, then I get the following error;
transact to Ether_Transfer_From. (fallback) errored: VM Exception while
processing transaction: out of gas
I followed the answer of the same question by installing Ganache-cli 7.0.0 beta.0 by using following command;
npm install -g ganache-cli#7.0.0-beta.0
But I still get the same error. I think I am using older Ganache cli instead of Ganache-cli 7.0.0 beta.0 as it goes to C drive and I installed ganache 2.1.1 in D drive previously.
I just want to send ethereum from one account to other but I am really stuck in this out of gas Error. If there is any way to remove this error or transfer ethereum from one account to another then please let me know.
So this is what I did for one of my projects.
This snippet, deploys the compiles the solidity file and then deploys it and gets the address of the deployed contract address
const input = fs.readFileSync('Migrations.sol');
const output = solc.compile(input.toString(), 1);
const bytecode = output.contracts[':Migrations']['bytecode'];
const abi = JSON.parse(output.contracts[':Migrations'].interface);
var contract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi);
contract.deploy({
data: '0x'+bytecode,
})
.send({
from: chairPerson,
gas: 5500000,
gasPrice: '2000000000000'
})
.on('receipt', (receipt) => {
add=receipt.contractAddress;
})
Now using contract's abi, I can call methods of the deployed contract and use the following code to transfer '1.5' ether from one address to another.
contract.methods.registerRequest(fromAddress,toAddress,requestNumber).send({from:fromAddress,value : web3.utils.toWei('1.5', 'ether')}).on('transactionHash', (hashResult) => {-- some code--})
And also make the method in the solidity as payable to allow it to transfer ether, like :
function registerRequest(address requestedBy,address requestedTo,uint requestNumber) payable public{}
Refer : https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2.0/web3-eth-contract.html#id12
Basically I used web3 api itself to transfer ether from one account
to another by calling my solidity method.
Also, check the following things :
1. While deploying, are you deploying with enough gas ? I faced this error when I was deploying the contract with less gas quantity
2. Your method in solidity should be payable
I want to use Oraclize in Remix, to test it. I'm too stupid to use their examples.
How can I make this work?
From their Github I took the YouTube-Views code and copied it into Remix
pragma solidity >= 0.5.0 < 0.6.0;
import "github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/oraclizeAPI.sol";
contract YoutubeViews is usingOraclize {
string public viewsCount;
event LogYoutubeViewCount(string views);
event LogNewOraclizeQuery(string description);
constructor()
public
{
update(); // Update views on contract creation...
}
function __callback(
bytes32 _myid,
string memory _result
)
public
{
require(msg.sender == oraclize_cbAddress());
viewsCount = _result;
emit LogYoutubeViewCount(viewsCount);
// Do something with viewsCount, like tipping the author if viewsCount > X?
}
function update()
public
payable
{
emit LogNewOraclizeQuery("Oraclize query was sent, standing by for the answer...");
oraclize_query("URL", 'html(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0).xpath(//*[contains(#class, "watch-view-count")]/text())');
}
}
When I use the viewCount it returns:
0: string:
This happens with all the other examples aswell.
With WolframAlpha eg. I also get the following error:
transact to WolframAlpha.update errored: VM error: revert.
revert The transaction has been reverted to the initial state.
Note: The constructor should be payable if you send value. Debug the transaction to get more information.
Ok you don't see the answer like a normal result in Remix:
You have to go under settings and open the Oraclize plug in.
If you then deploy the contract and or click update, you get the result shown in the plug in.
I try to transfer Ether from the contract to an address but it gives the error that the transaction is out of gas. I think it's a small problem but I can't find it. I have to specifically use solidity version 0.4.24.
The warning from Remix
The error from MetaMask
I have tried different methods, like:
address.transfer(amount);
address.send(amount);
address.call.value(amount)( );
All methods will give the same out of gas exception. and the send and call method will also give a warning that it's outdated and that I should use the transfer method.
I also tried to adjust the gas and it didn't work, I also tried the needed 2,300 for the transfer listed on the docs.
The code:
pragma solidity ^0.4.24;
contract TestContract {
function payAddress(address _address) external payable {
_address.transfer(msg.value);
}
}
If the problem is that the contract doesn't have any Ether to transfer, can it use the Ether I send with the function call? Or is the problem something else?
Thank you for reading.
edit:
I have tried to send Ether to my Contract and that works, I do have Ether on my contract now, but the function still gives the same error as before. So the problem is something else.
Current code:
pragma solidity ^0.4.24;
contract TestContract {
function() external payable { }
function payContract() public payable {}
function paySomeone(address _address, uint256 _amount) external {
_address.transfer(_amount);
}
function getBalance() public view returns (uint256) {
return address(this).balance;
}
}
The balance of the contract
The parameters I use
Same MetaMask error as before
As you can see here the balance of the contract is 10 wei, but when i try to send 9 wei it still gives the same out of gas error. I also still get the same error from Remix as before.
I also post the issue on the Stack exchange and got an answer there. The issue was my
Ganache version. I switched to the Robsten test network and it worked. I'll link the post here.
Yes. In order to send ether from contract to another address, first you must send some ether to the contract address. Take a look at this and this.
I am trying to run a bidding smart contract on a private blockchain and my smart contract is working on the Remix IDE and the same works on my private chain except for one function [dataOwnedBy()] which is suposed to return an array of bytes32 but returns all zero values in geth console.
I have compiled and deployed my smart contract using truffle.
The function which is not working is : (along with data declaration snippet and other function prototypes)
struct data{
bytes32 data_id;
address bidder;
uint bid;
}
mapping(bytes32=>data) bidInfo;
mapping(address=>data[]) dataOwned; //data owned by each address
address[] dataOwners; //list of address who own data
function Bid(bytes32 data_id) public payable { ... }
function closeBid(bytes32 data_id) public { ... }
function whoOwns(bytes32 _data_id) constant public returns (address){ ... }
function dataOwnedBy(address _addr) constant public returns (bytes32[10]){
uint length = dataOwned[_addr].length;
bytes32[10] memory _idArray;
for (uint i=0;i<length;i++){
_idArray[i] = (dataOwned[_addr][i].data_id);
}
return _idArray;
}
After closing the bid, when I query the above function with the winner's address, it returns array of size 10 bytes32 values, all equal to zero, where it should be returning the data_ids owned by the address.!

Instead the first value of the array should be the hex of "data_id1".
Don't know what is going wrong here, but it works perfectly fine on Remix IDE.
Thanks in advance !
As your code is working OK in remix, there is no problem with the smart contract code. I experienced same issue when I wanted to return some arrays back to my web3j powered java app. I also tested web3js and encountered the same problem. The returned array was broken the same way.
I ended up in serializing and deserializing arrays to strings with a delimiter, both in inputs and outputs.
