Hi,
Iā€™m getting the Error This transaction is expected to fail. Trying to execute it is expected to be expensive but fail, and is not recommended. in Meta Mask.

While placing the sale on marketplace.
I set Gas Fees as 8.5 Million.

The above code is main.js [rarible clone github repo]
I used same cloudfunctions as if in https://github.com/MoralisWeb3/youtube-tutorials/blob/main/rarible-clone/cloud_functions.js

Please help.

@cryptokid If I set Gas and Gas Fees to low then does this issue get fixed?

One more doubt, How I can move to production server on Moralis? I mean do i need to change the codes? or the current code can help me to push it to production server with chains like BSC, AVAX, etc?

You will have to create a new server for production and then to migrate there what you have.

For that error, most probably the transaction will fail and that is why you see that huge gas estimation. Maybe it is an approve problem, or not having enough funds in account.
