[SOLVED] runContractFunction broken, always 400 with "Web3 API error while calling /:address/function"

[Garon]

Sample code:

      lastTokenId = Number(
        await Moralis.Web3API.native.runContractFunction({
          chain: 'mumbai',
          address: '0xf1B09593d659D3F28DEC21E9C5A60d2FE8B4F940',
          function_name: 'totalPublicSupply',
          abi: ... (see below),
          // params: {},
        }),

abi =

This returns contract public variable’s value, totalPublicSupply. This has worked fine before, on mumbai and ropsten testnets, as well as on ETH mainnet. But about a week or so ago, this broke. Now on Chrome network pane, I see 400 always from moralis api, with this json response:

{"code":141,"error":"Web3 API error while calling /:address/function"}

I’ve tried updating moralis JS sdk version from 0.0.104 to 0.0.128, and updated + restarted Moralis server version to 0.0.283. No difference, other than more meaningful json response (instead of above, older sdk or server would just return [object object])

Considering our ETH mainnet contract (0xd8d806C87Ba9A1a586C70A686285078094eFDa35) has been deployed for about a month now and has worked fine previously, something changed on Moralis’s api in recent week or 2 that broke runContractFunction. Note that I’m getting above error and response with same contract deployed on any chain.

Anyone else with similar experience?

@Devs, help and investigation much appreciated.

[cryptokid]

I will check, we recently changed the syntax to also support parameters

[Garon]

Yes, I see that. I integrated and tested the runContractFunction call back before params is added, which is great. But ya, seems like some server change broke things. Thanks for checking

[Garon]

I see now, the error response from Moralis server has changed to

{"code":141,"error":"ABI is required!"}

When I have supplied ABI as input param, see my original post

[cryptokid]

yes, I know, I got same error, we will have to fix it, for now it looks like it is not working

[cryptokid]

@Garon, it works now, you’ll have to update to latest Moralis server version

[Garon]

Cool, testing. No need for client update of moralis npm package?

[cryptokid]

it should work without updating Moralis SDK

[Garon]

Confirmed, server update from 0.0.283 to 0.0.284 fixes the 400 on runContractFunction

Also note that getAllTokenIds function was also broken previously, and now works with 200 response again. Thanks

PS. Moralis can use E2E tests to detect and catch across the board API breakage like this, instead of relying on users like me to report it from the wild

I have the same problem

  const options = {
                chain: '0x61',
                address: '0x7478b7BBF4f99Cfb72c6A5a768D1EFF22B707511',
                function_name: 'create',
                abi: [{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"itemId","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"string","name":"tokenURI","type":"string"}],"name":"create","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}],
                params: {  itemId: itemId, tokenURIL: tokenURI },
            };
            const data = await Moralis.Web3API.native.runContractFunction(options);

with

• “moralis”: “^1.5.9”
• moralis server version 0.0.369

[cryptokid]

You can only call read only functions with runContractFunction. You have to use Moralis.executeFunction for write functions.

[leeanhsixteen.16]

yes, i pass this exception

[leeanhsixteen.16]

Do you know about this error?

[cryptokid]

try to use this syntax with moralisSecret, if it doesn’t work, you will have to use ethers or web3 directly

How to use Moralis.transfer from nodejs [SOLVED]

code example: const Moralis = require('moralis/node') x = async () => { console.log(Moralis.CoreManager.get("VERSION")) await Moralis.start({ moralisSecret: "afsdfasdfsdf" }); await Moralis.enableWeb3({ chainId: 0x61, privateKey: "private_key", }); // sending 0.5 tokens with 18 decimals const options = { type: "erc20", amount: Moralis.Units.Token("0.5", "18"), receiver: "asdfasdf", contractAddress: "afdsafdas", };…

[leeanhsixteen.16]

it still gives the same error as above

[cryptokid]

are you sure it has the right parameters? if it has native currency to execute that function call?
