How to provide explicit gas limit to a contract call?

[drortirosh]

currently, calling myContract.someMethod() performs an "estimateGas" call first.
I want to override this, and force specific gas (and avoid an extra RPC call).
However, if I provide {gas: someValue} I get an error:

Error: cannot override "gas" (operation="overrides", overrides=["gas"], code=UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION, version=contracts/5.0.11)

Use gasLimit instead of gas. See [doc] (https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/contract/contract/#contract-functionsSend).

The overrides object may include any of:

• overrides.gasPrice
• overrides.gasLimit
• overrides.value
• overrides.nonce

my error was because of the upper letter of "L" in gasLimit lol...

Can i not pass any other parameter apart from gasPrice, gasLimit, value, nonce? It might not make sense in ethers.js but if i'm building on top of ethers and i want my wrapper provider to handle those override options, then i'd want people to be able to send other override parameters also.

Eg. if i'm doing this

let tx = await contract.setQuote(newQuote, { signatureType : "EIP712_SIGN" });

I'm getting error

Unhandled Rejection (Error): cannot override "signatureType" (operation="overrides", overrides=["signatureType"], code=UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION, version=contracts/5.0.11)

You cannot override anything outside what a transaction can override. Generally if you are doing this you probably actually want to subclass the Signer type and create an Eip712OnlySigner, whatever that may entail, and it would be responsible for doing whatever that flag does (you would use contract.connect to create the instance that has that special property set).

This keeps the API extensible and reusable. Otherwise each new thing fragments how an object can be used and who it can be used by.

Does that make sense?

is it possible to provide code to your solution?
