sendSignedTransaction() error: invalid sender

[Skyge]

Description

Expected behavior

Calling `web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(data)` should succeed.

Actual behavior

Calling `web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(data)` 
returns `error: {"code":-32000,"message":"invalid sender"}`.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

const Tx = require('ethereumjs-tx');
const privateKey = new Buffer('e33xxxxc0fd109', 'hex')

const rawTx = {
  nonce: '0x00',
  gasPrice: '0x09184e72a000',
  gasLimit: '0x2710',
  to: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
  value: '0x00',
  data: '0x7f7465737432000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000600057'
}

const tx = new Tx(rawTx);
tx.sign(privateKey);

const serializedTx = tx.serialize();

web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction('0x' + serializedTx.toString('hex'))
.on('receipt', console.log);

Error Logs

error: {"code":-32000,"message":"invalid sender"}

Versions

• web3.js: 1.0.0-beta.55
• nodejs: v11.10.1
• browser: Chrome

[Skyge]

But this is not a bug of web3.js, it is due to the package ethereumjs-tx at the version 2.0.0, if you use the version 1.3.7, it will not have this error.

[Skyge]

Besides above, I can not get anything from Promise Event receipt , does that means transactionHash now?

[shumailxyz]

I am having issues with receipt as well. Keeps on waiting. Works with version beta 1.0.0-beta.36.

[Skyge]

@shumailxyz When I try to use a lower version: 1.0.0-beta.36, I can get a log with .on("receipt", …

[Skyge]

Ohhh, I find a similar issue that mentions the event receipt: #2601

[PaulRBerg]

I can also confirm that ethereumjs-tx version 2.0.0 is broken:

error: {"code":-32000,"message":"invalid sender"}

Reverting to 1.3.7 fixes the problem.

[Skyge]

@PaulRBerg If you want to use the version: 2.0.0, you should add extra parameter chain like this

var tx = new Tx(rawTx, {'chain':'ropsten'});

[nivida]

I've closed this because your problem is related to the ethereumjs-tx package.

[sjana0]

confirmed v1.3.7 works.

[zikyfranky]

@PaulRBerg If you want to use the version: 2.0.0, you should add extra parameter chain like this

var tx = new Tx(rawTx, {'chain':'ropsten'});

This works 100%

Thanks.

var tx = new Tx(rawTx, {'chain':'ropsten'});
will it work for binance smart chain ?

const Tx = require('ethereumjs-tx').Transaction;
var Web3 = require('web3')
var web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider('https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org:443'))

try also specifying the right chainId for Tx module using the @ethereumjs/common or deprecated version ethereumjs-common

I haven't tested this, so I don't know if it works.

import Common from 'ethereumjs-common'

const BSC_MAIN = Common.forCustomChain(
    'mainnet', {
        name: 'bnb',
        networkId: 56, 
        chainId: 56
    }, 
    'petersburg'
)

var tx = new Tx(rawTx, {common: BSC_MAIN});

thanks, i'll test it though i switched to python

[prantiknoor]

var Transaction = require("@ethereumjs/tx").Transaction;
var Common = require("@ethereumjs/common").default;

const BSC_MAIN = Common.custom({ name: "bnb", networkId: 56, chainId: 56 });
var tx = new Transaction(txData, { common: BSC_MAIN });

It has worked for me.

Change the below

      const Tx = require('ethereumjs-tx').Transaction;

      var rawTransaction = {
        "from": myAddress,
        "gasPrice": web3js.utils.toHex(20 * 1e9),
        "gasLimit": web3js.utils.toHex(210000),
        "to": contractAddress,
        "value": "0x0",
        "data": contract.methods.safeTransferFrom(myAddress, toAddress, tokenId).encodeABI(),
      }

        var privateKey = Buffer.from('abcde', 'hex')

        var transaction = new Tx(rawTransaction,{ chain: 'ropsten' , hardfork: 'petersburg' });

        transaction.sign(privateKey);

        web3js.eth.sendSignedTransaction('0x' + transaction.serialize().toString('hex'))
            .on('transactionHash', console.log);

to the below

      const Tx = require('ethereumjs-tx').Transaction;

      var rawTransaction = {
        "from": myAddress,
        "gasPrice": web3js.utils.toHex(20 * 1e9),
        "gasLimit": web3js.utils.toHex(210000),
        "to": contractAddress,
        "value": "0x0",
        "data": contract.methods.safeTransferFrom(myAddress, toAddress, tokenId).encodeABI(),
      }

        var privateKey ='abcde'

        web3js.eth.accounts.signTransaction(rawTransaction, privateKey)
        .then(function(value){
            web3js.eth.sendSignedTransaction(value.rawTransaction)
            .then(function(response){
              console.log("response:" + JSON.stringify(response, null, ' '));
            })
          })

web3js.eth.accounts.signTransaction will take the burden of including the correct chainId and nonce .
