"Error": "API error: API error Error(InternalError): Failed to convert transaction data from storage

aptos move publish fails with the following error:

  "Error": "API error: API error Error(InternalError): 
  Failed to convert transaction data from storage: 
  Module ModuleId { 
   address: <module-address>, 
   name: Identifier(\"<resource-name>\") 
  } can't be found"

How to reproduce

1. clone https://github.com/code-and-ledger/super-memory.git .
2. Initialise local configuration.
3. attempt to publish the SCENARIO 2.

Notes

• The difference between scenario 1 and scenario
  2 is number of functions involved (see comments).

• A similar issue is this: [Bug] CLI module publish will fail if emit module events in init_module() function aptos-core#11038

Yes, looks like that bug applies.

The first situation, you're creating a coin, which is not emitting a module event.

The second situation, you're creating the coin, and adding liquidity. This likely is creating the issue when an event is created on transfer of coins.

There are a couple bugs like this one around init_module, and usually when I write my own contracts, I'll avoid using init_module. I'll only use it if it's simple enough.

Otherwise, I'll usually add an initialize() function, and call that after publishing.

Thanks for the quick response.

I thought of this solution as well.

However, this will require two transactions instead of only one.

Is it possible to publish a module via Move scripts? If yes, I think I will be able to deploy using code.move and then call the initialise function

[gregnazario]

Yeah, it should be possible, but I think you might still run into the same error.

I think it has to deal with a VM issue on emitting an event in the same transaction as the code is published cc @lightmark
