EVM Revert and Out-of-gas error doesn't follow the correct format

[yijiasu-crypto]

System info:

0.0.0-308-g7e1b45b

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make a out-of-gas eth_call

• Can use: yarn test --network ethermint proxy

2. The out-of-gas error occured. However the JSON-RPC message is in a different format compared to ganache

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

 <   {
 <     "id": 1626419303744,
 <     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 <     "error": {
 <       "message": "VM Exception while processing transaction: out of gas",
 <       "code": -32000,
 <       "data": {
 <         "0xf08cc2bfa30270de3f28f2d8349d2797e9e15251c0cd8c2555b581c8428f2904": {
 <           "error": "out of gas",
 <           "program_counter": 219,
 <           "return": "0x"
 <         },
 <         "name": "c"
 <       }
 <     }
 <   }

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

 <   {
 <     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 <     "id": 1626419644885,
 <     "error": {
 <       "code": -32000,
 <       "message": "out of gas"
 <     }
 <   }

Additional info: [Include gist of relevant config, logs, etc.]

Since the out-of-gas error is correctly occured. But the returned message can't be parsed by truffle framework, returned in a test failed.

nice catch

To re-produce the error:

1. Start ethermint node on localhost. Listen on 8545
2. cd tests/solidity/suites/proxy
3. Run yarn truffle test --network ethermint --verbose-rpc | grep "out of gas" -A 50 -B 50
   ( You can omitted the grep part to inspect the full rpc logs. However it's very verbose and will output a lot)
4. The screen will not print anything for a while (1~2 mins). This is normal, since it has not started the execution of that problematic test case.
5. You can see something like this:

   > {
   >   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
   >   "method": "eth_call",
   >   "params": [
   >     {
   >       "from": "0x90fdb51c13ce085ce7f9c0da8683b7327711b064",
   >       "gas": "0x5a0a",
   >       "gasPrice": "0x3b9aca00",
   >       "value": "0x64",
   >       "to": "0x260d4674b0b54f771d588cafdefd4bb7cfee280a"
   >     },
   >     "latest"
   >   ],
   >   "id": 1626855091441
   > }
 <   {
 <     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
 <     "id": 1626855091441,
 <     "error": {
 <       "code": -32000,
 <       "message": "out of gas"
 <     }
 <   }

The log lines start with >>> means this is a request from truffle to ethermint, those start with <<< means it's a json-rpc response. Look at the id, every request will have an unique id and you could found its response followed by the request log.

You can stop the ethermint and run ganache-cli to listen on 8545 and re-run the test. Then you can see logs with legitimate error response.

@thomas-nguy are you still working on this?

[thomas-nguy]

yes, I need to do more testing but I will open the PR soon

 <         },

I wonder if it is not a specific implementation of ganache. I cannot find anything like that in geth
@fedekunze @yihuang ?

all i can find is here, we might need to actually run it to check out the actual error message.

[yijiasu-crypto]

{
   "jsonrpc":"2.0",
   "id":1627577507785,
   "error":{
      "code":-32015,
      "data":"Out of gas",
      "message":"VM execution error."
   }
}

Here's the raw RPC response from Kovan

@yihuang @yijiasu-crypto @thomas-nguy is this fixed? I saw the errors format was improved a few times, e.g. #350 ?
