Missing Active Authority Bug

[therealwolf42]

When using broadcast.transfer I have a very weird bug that I get: RPCError: Missing Active Authority therealwolf when I try to send a transfer that is bigger than the transfer that I received.

For example: User A sends me X amount and I send X (-0 to max. X) amount back - then everything works fine. But when User A sends me X amount and I send X + 1 - then everything breaks apart.

Do you still have this error? I know there was a steemd version with a bug was deployed for a couple of hours on the official steemd cluster that caused similar errors.

just tried again - still the same error :/

[jnordberg]

Ok strange, can you provide a minimal example that reproduces it?

[jnordberg]

And which node are you using?

[therealwolf42]

sure. I'm using the build team node. (which is not released yet and should be very fast) But it also happened with gtg

// amount should be someting like 1.2 and asset SBD => 1.2 SBD
let new_amount = amount.toString() + " " + asset.toString()
let transfer_data = {from:bot_name,to:receiver,amount:new_amount,memo:memo}
let result = await client.broadcast.transfer(transfer_data, ACTIVE_KEY)

[jnordberg]

let new_amount = amount.toString() + " " + asset.toString()

That looks a bit odd, just to rule out errors here can you try it with:

let new_amount = Asset.from(1.2, 'STEEM')

I also tried that but still the same error.

I ran a couple of tests against gtg's node and was not able to reproduce

well - a bit embarrassing, but I forgot to start tsc -w again after restarting pc and always started with the same compiled JS. :'D

I must have made an error with my own convertion to asset. This makes sense now as it always worked when I just chose the value I got from the transfer. But when I just changed it a bit - it broke.
