Metamask: RLP Decode Fails

[thomas-nguy]

System info:
Macos
Steps to reproduce:

Not sure if I am something wrong, but if I try to send an amount using metamask, the transaction fails.

The logs from the node give me :

ERRO[0017] transaction RLP decode failed                 error="rlp: input string too long for uint64, decoding into (types.MsgEthereumTx)(*types.TxData).GasLimit" module=json-rpc

1. Start the node
2. Setup metamask with a valid account with initial amount. I setup gas limit with 21000 (min amount) and gas fee to 50
3. Send 1 photon to another address

Expected behavior:

Transaction Success

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

Error decoding the transaction

Some update

With latest branch. I am able to send the transaction with metamask without errors. But somehow the balance is not updated (transaction is not going through?)

I will keep investigating

[thomas-nguy]

After investigation, I found that the tx is not broadcasted for some reason

thanks @thomas-nguy, can you paste any relevant logs?

[thomas-nguy]

Actually there is no error.

The rpc endpoint (send_rawtx) seems to work and the broadcast asyncCtx.BroadcastTx(txBytes) returns no errors.

But if I put a breakpoint or a log in the handler. I can see that it never goes through.

My node is showing this log sometime

I wonder if it is related?

I close this issue because the root cause is the same as #79
