Web3.js: eth_getTransactionReceipt Promise does not resolves.

Created on 19 Jun 2019 · 6Comments · Source: ChainSafe/web3.js

Description

Promise is pending , does not resolves and hangs after calling send() on a contract. It happens using ganache-cli or geth as local node.

I can get the transaction hash and also tried:

....send().on('transactionHash', (hash) => { 
    const tx = await web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt(); // <--- hangs here. 
});

Expected behavior

Calling await contract.methods.method().send(); should return a resolved or rejected Promise.

Actual behavior

Calling await contract.methods.method().send(); hangs waiting for promise to resolve.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

I'm sending a transaction to a contract that calls another (ERC20) contract transferFrom() methods.

I had the same issue. I hope my solution can solve yours. Here is the link

Transaction was mined, but took 5 minutes to get the result

Cheers!

Thanks for opening this issue! Could you provide a GitHub repository to reproduce your issue?

Hi @nivida . Yes. You can try this: https://github.com/tradestars-app/tradestars-cards

I think I have a similar issue. You may want to have a look at
https://github.com/dappuniversity/eth-todo-list-react/issues/1

It's within a small project which should be easy to run and test.

If the transaction receipt isn't existing directly after the call does web3 start a newHeads subscription or it does polling for the receipt. The subscription gets started on the usage of a WebsocketProvider or IpcProvider and polling is in usage for the HttpProvider. How long it should wait and what the maximum of confirmations is can get configured as described here.

Totally get it @nivida. Still doesn't work by setting transactionConfirmationBlocks = 1.

I've solved similar to @jonassunandar .

const txHash = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    contract.methods.method().send()
        .on('transactionHash', (x) => { resolve(x); })
        .catch((err) => { reject(err); })
});
await web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt(txHash);
