Description

Unable to deploy contract.
Was working on beta-34, error with beta-50, not working at all with beta-53.

Expected behavior

  const contractInstance = new web3.eth.Contract(contract.abi);

  const inbox = await contractInstance.deploy({
    data: contract.evm.bytecode.object,
    arguments: ["Test"]
  }).send({from: accounts[0], gas: 1000000});

should deploy contract.

Actual behavior

• web3@1.0.0-beta.34 - works fine
• web3@1.0.0-beta.50 - error
• web3@1.0.0-beta.53 - doesn't return neither throw anything...

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Could you add the thrown error message and did you configure the transaction confirmation workflow as described in the documentation?

did you configure the transaction confirmation workflow as described in the documentation?

Not sure what you mean. Code also provided above https://gist.github.com/industral/16760065d5492c11107a462a1c3cdad3

throw error linked above

The given error doesn't look like a normal Web3.js error. Did you also test it with geth and parity?

Web3 Module Options

Settings transactionConfirmationBlocks to 1 fixed problem.

By default it was 24.

console.log(web3.eth.transactionConfirmationBlocks);

const web3 = new Web3(provider, null, {
  transactionConfirmationBlocks: 1
});

I guess that should be 1, as 24 blocks at ~15sec it's about 5 minute minimum of waiting. Also should be better documented. Thanks @nivida for help!

Great! Yes, this should be better documented and also added to the Getting Started section. I will improve it with the next update of the documentation.
I think it should be one in a local development environment but it should be set to a way higher value in a production environment.
