Truffle: gasPrice is being ignored

Created on 13 Nov 2017 · 10Comments · Source: trufflesuite/truffle

[x] I've asked for help in the Truffle Gitter before filing this issue.

Issue

Setting the "gasPrice" field in truffle.js is being ignore

Steps to Reproduce

Ideally done on testRPC:

Start testRPC
Drain the default wallet of most of your Ether
Change the "gasPrice" to something like "10" or "10000" or anything
truffle migrate --dry-run
You'll receive an error saying The upfront cost is: 471238800000000000 and the senders account only has: (some amount or 0)

Expected Behavior

Updating gasPrice should change the amount of Ether needed to run the transaction

Actual Results

Requires 471238800000000000 wei no matter what

Environment

Operating System: Mac
Truffle version: 4.0.0 and 4.0.1
Ethereum client: testRPC
node version: 6.0.0
npm version: 4.0.03

Turns out the problem was the unclear truffle documentation.

gasPrice should be given as a string , not an integer
The same goes for any other variable given in the config
They should be passed as strings, yet the documentation shows integers being passed as value.

Update: this seems to only be happening with --dry-run

Hi,

The pull request trufflesuite/truffle-core#81 resolves this issue. The value for gasPrice and gasLimit were not copied over when the network was forked in the environment (when using --dry-run).
