Ganache-cli: Tx doesn't have correct nonce error

[rodney757]

Expected Behavior

I should be able to reliably send transactions to testrpc from web3

Current Behavior

When I load my dapp, the first time I try and send a transaction via web3, I get a nonce mismatch error. Then I reload the page and it works as expected. It seems to fail on every other reload. Using a mainnet rpc server, this does not happen.

I am using the new db functionality of testrpc & unlocking 2 accounts on startup

js console shows:

error happened... Error: Error: the tx doesn't have the correct nonce. account has nonce of: 15 tx has nonce of: 16

Same problem. I work with metamask in the client...

[benjamincburns]

@rodney757 & @stefanhuber you guys likely found MetaMask/metamask-extension#1999. MetaMask even added a helpful "reset account" button to their settings page so you can work around this problem.
