The transaction declared chain ID 5777, but the connected node is on 1337

Question

I am trying to deploy my SimpleStorage.sol contract to a ganache local chain by making a transaction using python. It seems to have trouble connecting to the chain.

from solcx import compile_standard
from web3 import Web3
import json
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

with open("./SimpleStorage.sol", "r") as file:
    simple_storage_file = file.read()

compiled_sol = compile_standard(
    {
        "language": "Solidity",
        "sources": {"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}},
        "settings": {
            "outputSelection": {
                "*": {"*": ["abi", "metadata", "evm.bytecode", "evm.sourceMap"]}
            }
        },
    },
    solc_version="0.6.0",
)

with open("compiled_code.json", "w") as file:
    json.dump(compiled_sol, file)


# get bytecode
bytecode = compiled_sol["contracts"]["SimpleStorage.sol"]["SimpleStorage"]["evm"][
    "bytecode"
]["object"]


# get ABI
abi = compiled_sol["contracts"]["SimpleStorage.sol"]["SimpleStorage"]["abi"]

# to connect to ganache blockchain
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("HTTP://127.0.0.1:7545"))
chain_id = 5777
my_address = "0xca1EA31e644F13E3E36631382686fD471c62267A"
private_key = os.getenv("PRIVATE_KEY")


# create the contract in python

SimpleStorage = w3.eth.contract(abi=abi, bytecode=bytecode)

# get the latest transaction
nonce = w3.eth.getTransactionCount(my_address)

# 1. Build a transaction
# 2. Sign a transaction
# 3. Send a transaction


transaction = SimpleStorage.constructor().buildTransaction(
    {"chainId": chain_id, "from": my_address, "nonce": nonce}
)
print(transaction)

It seems to be connected to the ganache chain because it prints the nonce, but when I build and try to print the transaction here is the entire traceback call I am receiving

5777, but the connected node is on 1337

Answer 1

Had this issue myself, apparently it's some sort of Ganache CLI error but the simplest fix I could find was to change the network id in Ganache through settings>server to 1337. It restarts the session so you'd then need to change the address and private key variable.

If it's the same tutorial I'm doing, you're likely to come unstuck after this... the code for transaction should be:

transaction = 
 SimpleStorage.constructor().buildTransaction( {
    "gasPrice": w3.eth.gas_price, 
    "chainId": chain_id, 
    "from": my_address, 
    "nonce": nonce, 
})
print(transaction)

Otherwise you get a value error if you don't set the gasPrice

Answer 2

this line of code is wrong

chain_id = 5777

Ganache chain id is not 5777. This is network id. Network id is used by nodes to transfer data between nodes that are on the same network. Network id is not included in blocks and it is not used for signing transactions or mining blocks.

 chain_id = 1377

Chain ID is not included in blocks either, but it is used during the transaction signing and verification process.

Answer 3

It works for me, I get value chain_id from w3.eth.chain_id

transaction = SimpleStorage.constructor().buildTransaction(
{
    "gasPrice": w3.eth.gas_price,
    "chainId": w3.eth.chain_id,
    "from": my_address,
    "nonce": nonce,
}

)

Delegates to eth_chainId RPC Method

Returns an integer value for the currently configured “Chain Id” value introduced in EIP-155. Returns None if no Chain Id is available.

Answer 4

Hey it happened to me too, you need to build the constructor like this SimpleStorage.constructor().buildTransaction( { "gasPrice": w3.eth.gas_price, "chainId": chain_id, "from": my_address, "nonce": nonce,

You need to add the gas price part. Worked for me
