EDIT: solved, was caused by declaring this.web3 instead of web3
I'm running a private network with truffle and I'm facing this weird problem where at Metamask and Mist show that I have balance of 100 eth. When I try actually to make an transaction it says that the account has ZERO eth. I have a contract that is fairly complex and I'm not sure what is the problem.
I have tried restarting truffle and recompiling and remigrating the contracts a few times and I have reinstalled metamask multiple times. When I tried Mist, it also does this.
I'm fairly new at smart contracts, but I'm trying to create a somewhat big application with it. I code the contracts with Solidity and I have tested the contracts on remix without problems and I can manipulate the contracts via truffle just fine. I think it may be because of the front.. I'm programming it with react. This is the specific part of code in js that I call the function. It's just a plain auth mechanism. I use truffle-contract and this.database is a Contract.
authAddress(sotu, password) {
return new Promise ((resolve, reject) => {
this.database.deployed().then(instance => {
return instance.authAddress(sotu, password);
}).then(res => {
resolve();
}).catch(error => {
reject(error);
});
});
}
The solidity counterpart is follows:
function authAddress(string sotu, string password) public {
//Check if already logged in
require(authenticatedAddresses[msg.sender] == address(0));
Person p = persons[keccak256(sotu)];
p.login(keccak256(password), msg.sender);
authenticatedAddresses[msg.sender] = p;
}
I'm still learning these things, but I'm a bit bummed that this problem exists and nobody else seems to have countered this as far as I have tried to search. Have I missed something completely?
EDIT:
Here's tbe web3 provider init:
try {
if(web3 != null) {
this.web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
}
} catch (error) {
this.web3 = null;
}
I try to make the site only available if you have metamask or such alike. I'd like to to wrap the web3 to a class, but if that screws things uo let me know.
My databasehandler init
initDatabaseHandler() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.databaseHandler = new DatabaseHandler();
this.databaseHandler.loadContract(this.state.coinbase, this.web3.currentProvider)
.then(() => {
this.databaseHandler.getAccountInfo()
.then(info => {
this.setState({userinfo: info}, resolve());
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
})
.catch(err => reject(err));
});
}
And the abstracted contract loader:
loadContract(coinbase, provider) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.database = new Contract(Database);
this.database.setProvider(provider);
this.database.web3.eth.defaultAccount = coinbase;
this.person = new Contract(Person);
this.person.setProvider(provider);
this.person.web3.eth.defaultAccount = coinbase;
console.log(this.database.web3.eth.defaultAccount);
resolve();
});
}
