Ch. 5 Error: the tx doesn't have the correct nonce. account has nonce of: 26 tx has nonce of: 25

[jakerumbles]

I have this code, pretty much the same as Patrick does.

  const currentFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve();
  console.log(`Current Favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}`);

  const transactionResponse = await contract.store("7");
  console.log(`Tx response: ${transactionResponse}`);

and the output of running deploy.js

Current Favorite Number: 0

}

I would assume the contract object would be robust enough in 2023 to update the nonce after each call, but maybe not. Somehow Patrick doesn't have this issue, but it's not auto updating the wallet nonce for me. Any ideas on a solution here, without me having to go down the rabbit hole on some custom solution?

If you could drop link to your github repo or share your files in thread here easier to see where you're at.

And if you're using metamask at this time, perhaps you need to go to accounts in metamask (the round icon ) go to Settings/ Advanced / Reset Account

Same problem here. I guess it comes from the huge overhaul that the version 6 of ethersJS was from version 5. I managed to follow through Patrick's entire video using version 6 (while Patrick uses v5) though and I really don't wanna downgrade just to fix this... Have been digging the documentation and can't find solution...

[paulcoffee85]

There is still situations in these courses where downgrading to below version 6 is still recommended by the team. Unless for certain situations @alymurtazamemon would know if there's a solution aside from downgrade.
But nonce fix was done without the downgrade I believe.
@LoanCardoso13 what time frame in the video were you having this issue ?

[jakerumbles]

Yep @LoanCardoso13, I downgraded from 5 to 6 and that fixed the issue for me. I looked around and couldn't find much about the issue except the experimental NonceManager, but for everyone else reading this just downgrade to version 5. Specifically in my package.json I have "ethers": "^5.5.3",.

I actually have already completed with version 5 of ethers. Was trying to do with version 6 again for educational purposes, to see if I would be able to find a workaround on all issues that would show up by digging through the documentation. However this error here, described in this post, I am unable to fix on ethers v6... Has to do with the .wait(1) I think... Can't find the equivalent in v6...

[Krishna47ak]

@jakerumbles @LoanCardoso13 You can do this for version 6 contract.deploymentTransaction().wait(1). This should solve the nonce error too on calling contract.store(7).

I had the same issue with v6, and I fixed it thanks to @Krishna47ak.
contract.deploymentTransaction().wait(1) works fine for me.
Thank you

I run into the exact same error just like you ! I saw other fellows in the comment area say that downgrade version of ethers from 6 to 5 is an option , however , I find another way to achieve the function of wait(1) mentioned in the vedio !

const contract = await contractfactory.deploy(deploymentOptions); 
  await contract.waitForDeployment(1);

the code upside can actually finish the same job !

[pratikkalein]

I also had the same issue. This is how I fixed it.
Use the waitForDeployment method.
I am on ethers version 6.10.0 and this works perferctly.
You can checkout the full code at my repo.

Patricks Code

const contract = await contractFactory.deploy()
const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1)

My Code

const contract = await contractFactory.deploy();
await contract.waitForDeployment(1);```
