Connection timeout sending transaction with CURL but not error output

[MatthieuScarset]

Running ganache in verbose mode ganache -v --logging.debug and sending a transaction (see below) ends up in a Connection timeout error but there is no information about what's wrong.

The transaction values are correct because I can send it successfully via another provider (e.g. tested successfully through Alchemy and Metamask).

use kornrunner\Ethereum\EIP1559Transaction;

$nonce = '01';
$maxPriorityFeePerGas = 'b2d05e00';
$maxFeePerGas = '6fc23ac00';
$gasLimit = '5208';
$to = '11d749256d326d3b316C2dcDF2b7d8cE20CF2cFd';
$value = '29a2241af62c0000';
$data = '';
$chainId = 1337;

$privateKey = 'PRIVATEKEY';

$transaction = new EIP1559Transaction($nonce, $maxPriorityFeePerGas, $maxFeePerGas, $gasLimit, $to, $value, $data);
$rawTx = $transaction->getRaw($privateKey, $chainId);

The POST is as follow:

"[{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_sendRawTransaction","params":["0x02f8758205390184b2d05e008506fc23ac008252089411d749256d326d3b316C2dcDF2b7d8cE20CF2cFd8829a2241af62c000080c001a0a391210b5e7390bfd9269476a96b354e73290dedc95fc02c056263d133b5ade6a04268d49d2bce109a00052cb1a692401949af77eeb3db939561fd4ec2428752c5"],"id":0}]"

Ganache receives the transaction as I can see it in my terminal but then it timeout after 30001 milliseconds without explanations.

Any help will be much appreciated 👋

Thanks @MatthieuScarset for raising this issue. I suspect this is caused by a future-nonce. Can you please check the transaction count of the account you are using with the following:

curl -s http://localhost:8545 -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json;" -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionCount","params":["0x11d749256d326d3b316C2dcDF2b7d8cE20CF2cFd"]}'

Assuming the transaction count is 0, then you'll need to set the nonce to '00'.

AFAICT this is a problem with Ganache, as it shouldn't fail to return. I feel like there was some work in progress somewhere to address this. I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can find it.

[jeffsmale90]

In v7.7.6 we added a log to warn users of the future nonce: #4166

If you are running >= v7.7.6 and don't get that warning, then it's likely it's another issue. As to holding the connection open, I'll have to chat with the team to understand the reasoning behind this.

[MatthieuScarset]

I forgot to state the version I'm using, sorry. I'm using Ganache 8.19.3 - the latest version as of today.

Thank you for linking the issue #4166. The bug/behavior described in this issue is exactly what I am experiencing.

So either the issue with future nonce is not fixed or it's something else from my transaction's values?

[jeffsmale90]

@MatthieuScarset can you please double check the version - the latest is v7.7.7

[MatthieuScarset]

Oups sorry. I run a wrong cmd and it gave me the version of npm itself I think... 😮‍💨

I am using Ganache ^7.7.5 indeed.

Let me try with the latest version to see if I can reproduce the issue or if I have an error returned before timeout.

[MatthieuScarset]

It fails! 🎉 with an error message.

{"id":null,"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"message":"insufficient funds for gas * price + value","stack":"Error: insufficient funds for gas * price + value\n at TransactionPool.prepareTransaction (\/app\/node_modules\/ganache\/dist\/node\/1.js:2:121958)","code":-32003}}

So I now at least know what I need to work on to fix my transaction.

Thank you for your help!

[jeffsmale90]

Excellent - let us know if you have any more challenges with Ganache.

Cheers!

@MatthieuScarset, we've got a feature branch that, upon start up, logs a message to the console that ganache is out of date and you should update. It would look similar to this message:

The message is only logged once for each new version we release.

If ganache had this (optional, opt-out) feature do you think you would have updated?

[MatthieuScarset]

I would certainly have updated, yes. It's a side project i'm working on so I don't fear to break things... I would try to keep all dependencies the most up to date possible.
