Openzeppelin create (on private-geth) => check your gas limit ERROR

:computer: Environment
“openzeppelin”: “2.5.3”,
“truffle”: “5.0.34”,
“solidity”: “0.4.24”
“web3”: “1.2.1”,
“private geth client”: “geth-darwin-amd64-1.8.22”
=> I am using not ganache but private geth,

:memo:Details
I made simple Contract called Logic.sol and in truffle folder, and then

  1. $openzeppelin init .
  2. $openzeppelin compile
  3. $openzeppelin create --network beta Logic --init --args 50000
    ==> THEN ERROR Appears: “The contract code couldn’t be stored, please check your gas limit.”
    (this code used to work on ganache, but failing on private geth…)
    is there something I am doing wrong? I am planning to run my own mainnet-geth client in the future, so I am now testing with private-geth.

:1234: Code to reproduce
“Logic.sol”-----------

    pragma solidity ^0.4.24;
    import "@openzeppelin/upgrades/contracts/Initializable.sol";

    contract Logic is Initializable {
        uint maxDeposit;    

        function initialize(uint _value) initializer public { 
            maxDeposit = _value;
        }
        function getMaxDeposit() public view returns(uint) {
            return maxDeposit;
        }
    }

—truffle.js -----

        beta: { 
            provider: function() {  //below coinbase account has much ETH.           
                return new HDWalletProviderPriv(['..privatekey...'], "http://127.0.0.1:8545/");
            },

I don’t know the right answer for your question but I’d like to check the gasLimit in your “private” Geth(maybe check first your genesis.json and then getBlock.gasLimit).

Hi @Yong_Kim,

Welcome to the community :wave:

I can’t see anything obvious. The gas used is relatively small.

I suggest deploying a simple contract using Truffle to your private network to check your configuration.

You can also deploy to public testnets (and mainnet) using services such as Infura. See the documentation for a guide on this:
https://docs.openzeppelin.com/sdk/2.5/public-deploy

I succeeded on deploying ropsten,
But I failed on private-geth. (with almost same config…)
So I am still working-on, Thank you.

Hi @yong_kim,

I assume there is an issue with your private network or configuration to this network.

You could also try openzeppelin accounts, openzeppelin balance, and openzeppelin transfer on your private network to test connectivity.

Good advice.
I tested, but those all work in my private-geth.
So, I think I can exempt the possibility of connectivity issue now.
thank you.

Hi @Yong_Kim,

I suggest you try deploying a simple contract using truffle and interact with truffle console

    pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

    contract Logic {
        uint maxDeposit;    

        function set(uint _value) public { 
            maxDeposit = _value;
        }
        function getMaxDeposit() public view returns(uint) {
            return maxDeposit;
        }
    }

Thank you very much for your rapid suggestion!.
I made Test.sol and deployed with Logic.sol above and it runs well~
I think just *Initialize() is the problem. ^^

const Logic = artifacts.require("./Logic.sol");
const Test = artifacts.require("./Test.sol");
module.exports = function(deployer) {
     deployer.deploy(Logic);
     deployer.deploy(Test);
};

Hi @Yong_Kim,

You can try deploying the following contract with Truffle which inherits from Initializable and see if you have any issues. (I updated the pragma solidity to ^0.5.0).

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;
import "@openzeppelin/upgrades/contracts/Initializable.sol";

contract Logic is Initializable {
    uint maxDeposit;    

    function initialize(uint _value) initializer public { 
        maxDeposit = _value;
    }
    function getMaxDeposit() public view returns(uint) {
        return maxDeposit;
    }
}

Thanks @abcoathup,

I upgraded to solidity ^0.5.0; and
migrated with truffle again. and it works well~

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;
import "@openzeppelin/upgrades/contracts/Initializable.sol";

contract Logic is Initializable {
    
    uint maxDeposit;
    
    function initialize(uint _value) initializer public { 
        maxDeposit = _value;
    }

    function getMaxDeposit() public view returns(uint) {
        return maxDeposit;
    }

Hi @Yong_Kim,

The next thing to try is openzeppelin create with the Logic contract to your private network.

Thanks, @abcoathup.

If I create with --init then it fails, but without it it succeeds.

        $ openzeppelin init .
    ? Initial project version 1.0.0
    Project initialized. Write a new contract in the contracts folder and run 'openzeppelin create' to deploy it.

Hi @Yong_Kim,

One final thing to try is:
openzeppelin create and use the interactive commands but choose No when asked if you want to call a function on the instance after creating it.
Then openzeppelin send-tx and use the interactive commands to call initialize on the contract instance.

FYI, I tested your contract in my local Geth(v1.9.2). I can’t reproduce your error.
Logic.sol is same and networks.js is

I don’t remember right but there is some option of gasLimit when starting Geth. I hope this is helpful.
