Error Reason

[verma-shu6ham]

What's up?

Hi, in the function given below I am reverting with the message "Insufficient Balance." in React error object I am not getting error reason but on other hand in the ganache console error reason is showing, how will I get reason in react.

Examples/References

   function registerJob(
       string memory _jobName,
       string memory _jobDescription,
      uint256 _jobBudget
   ) external payable {
        require(extraFund() + msg.value >= _jobBudget, "Insufficient Balance.");
             uint32 timeNow = uint32(block.timestamp);
             _jobIds++;
             Job storage _job = _jobs[_jobIds];
             _job.jobId = _jobIds;
             _job.jobName = _jobName;
             _job.jobDescription = _jobDescription;
             _job.jobOwner = payable(msg.sender);
             _job.jobWorker = payable(0x0);
             _job.isCompleted = false;
             _job.isJobValid = true;
             _job.jobRegisteredDate = timeNow;
             _job.jobStartedDate = 0;
             _job.jobCompletedDate = 0;
             _job.jobBudget = _jobBudget;
             _job.jobSettledAmount = 0;
             _liveJobs.add(_jobIds);
             _fundByJobOwner[msg.sender] += msg.value;
             _jobOwnerFundLocked[msg.sender] += _jobBudget;
             emit JobRegistered(msg.sender, _jobBudget, _jobName, _jobIds);
}

}

Hi there, thank you for bringing this to our attention! Can you provide a code snippet that reproduces what's happening in your screenshots?

Hello @shubham-verma-neo ,
To catch the error you simply put the send transaction function inside a try-catch and then you can check the error object and the error message:

try{
    // your send transaction code...
} catch(error){
    console.log("error message:", error.message):
    console.log("complete error object:", error.message);
}

Hi, I am performing blockchain transactions using web3js + nodejs.
While submitting the mint transaction if I got error then I store transaction id and later ping it to check its status using getTransactionReceipt. It is help generally if handling Error - Transaction still not mined after 750s error but apart from it if i get insufficient funds gas*gasPrice+value error during submission, my system can not differentiate it. Is there any approach for error filtering if its concerns delay in blockchain level or account issue ?

[sachin-kiwi]

In Simple terms, after calling sendSignedTransaction if i get error is it possible to filter out error based on error message like it is due transaction logic issue or delay at blockchain end like timeout after 750s

[verma-shu6ham]

    try {
        _receipt = await contract.methods
            .registerJob(jobType, jobDes, web3.utils.toWei(jobBudget, "ether"))
            .send({
                value: web3.utils.toWei(depositETH, "ether"),
                from: accounts[0],
            });
        if (_receipt.status) {
            setReceipt(_receipt)
            setTx(true);
        }
    } catch (error) {
        console.log("error: ", error);
        console.log("error.message: ", error.message);
    }

Discussed in meeting today. Need to investigate further.

I found that using { handleRevert: true } as an option could give the revert reason, but it's not going through. There is an error inside the creation of the error message trying the get the reason message.

I also found this discussion: https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/how-to-use-handlerevert-in-web3-for-fetching-transaction-reverting-reason/14670/3, and it seems the fix implemented here solved the issue. I can't test yet because ViteJs doesn't care about the changes in node_modules folder.

Hello @shubham-verma-neo and @folego
I am trying to replicate the same issue by using an account that does not have enough balance to do the transaction. But, I got the error:

Error: Returned error: insufficient funds for gas * price + value
at Object.ErrorResponse (/home/maltabba/repos/web3v1.x/packages/web3-core-helpers/lib/errors.js:21:10356)
at /home/maltabba/repos/web3v1.x/packages/web3-core-requestmanager/lib/index.js:113:46

at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5) {
data: null
}

So, could you please share the exact configuration, that you are using for the account balance?

Thanks,

[verma-shu6ham]

Hi @Muhammad-Altabba,

You got this error due to insufficient balance in your account but in my case, I want to throw an error in case the msg.sender not passing enough ETH to contract.

assume this line with the error given below:
require(extraFund() + msg.value >= _jobBudget, "Your total balance including msg.value is still not sufficient to post this job. Total Balance should be more than "_jobBudget".");

try to replace the line and see if will you get this new error.

[Muhammad-Altabba]

Thanks @shubham-verma-neo ,
I think I got you now.
However, when I tried this. I got the reason as expected.

Here is the code snippet for JavaScript:

  contractInstance
      .methods
      .reverts()
      .send({ from: accounts[0], gas: 100000 })
      .on('error', err => {
          console.error(err)
          done();
      });

And here is the SmartContract:

contract Basic {
    function reverts() public {
        revert('REVERTED WITH REVERT');
    }
}

And here is the error object:

Error: Transaction has been reverted by the EVM:

}

So, could you please confirm that you are using the latest stable version of web3 (version 1.8.2)? And if you still face the issue with the latest version, could you please share the full but also the very minimal code that we can use to reproduce the issue you are facing? It will be great if you could share your code on some cloud IDE like https://codesandbox.io/ and have the solidity code deployed on a test net.

Thanks in advance,

[verma-shu6ham]

Hi @Muhammad-Altabba, sorry but I am unable to get the reason after doing the same as you suggested. I am using Ganache CLI.

for reference, I am attaching a video link that, how I am doing maybe I am doing wrong something please let me know if I am doing wrong.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vDA-3EWnjGxLPDYS2oDI_cgWbsN0b2m4/view?usp=drivesdk

As you suggested to deploy the smart contract to testnet and code to IDE once I will do that I will let you know with details.

[Muhammad-Altabba]

Many thanks @shubham-verma-neo ,
Could you also confirm that you are using { handleRevert: true } inside the contract options? and that you are using web3.js version 1.8.2?
And will be great to see this once you do it on a test net with an online could IDE.
Thanks,
