Ethers.js: callStatic: "Error: call cannot override value"

[crazyrabbitLTC]

Before doing a transaction, I am trying to use "callStatic" to simulate a transaction/call in order to check if the transaction/call will revert, and if yes- grab the Revert reason to display to the user.

      const tempOverride = { value: ethers.utils.parseEther(value) }
      await writeContract.callStatic[methodName](...methodParams, tempOverride)

If I have a payable function, and I attempt to try callStatic with my method name, params and the override with my value, I get the following error:

Error:  Error: call cannot override value
    at ethers.umd.js:9394
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at ethers.umd.js:9392
    at async sendTx (sendTx.ts:34)
    at async handleRunMethod (Reducer.tsx:235)
instrument.ts:129 Tx will revert. Message:  undefined 

Am I wrong in thinking I should be able to use callStatic with a value on a payable function? This might be related to my other issue:

Yes, you are correct. I will relax this check too. I'm looking at that function in general and contemplating a larger refactor overall...

I'll look into this now too. :)

This should be fixed now in 5.0.0-beta.189. The Contract has been fairly refactored and should allow value for calls.

Please try it out and let me know if you have any further issue. Thanks! :)

edit: part of the response was for another similar issue and I didn't read close enough which I was responding to; I've updated the above explanation.

Seems to work! Thank you!
