Metamask compatibility completely broken

[kzaher]

When picking Injected Web3 provider, and that is the latest version of Metamask (e.g. 6.6.1) sending transactions fails with

Gas estimation failed

Gas estimation errored with the following message (see below). The transaction execution will likely fail. Do you want to force sending?
gas required exceeds allowance (7006834) or always failing transaction

Filling in gas value manually in the UI doesn't help.

I've found the problem:

      if (network.name !== 'Main') {
        return continueTxExecution(null)
      }

🙁

@iurimatias Could you please fix this? I would help, but I'm not that familiar with the codebase.

Perhaps it is failing for another reason (can you still force send the tx?).
Would it be possible to send us your contract code?

Step 2:
Pick built-in ballot.sol, compile it.

Step 3:
Select environment: Injected Web3 -> Rinkeby (4) (Metamask 6.6.1 connected to Rinkeby)

Step 4:
Deploy

@yann300 If you can help with this, that would be great.

I think that this is the problem:

   if (network.name !== 'Main') {
     return continueTxExecution(null)
   }

Have you solved it yet?

t also got the same error and i can't send the tx

Is this still a problem? Does MetaMask work, especially if you're using a custom RPC provider?
