I’m experiencing problems when running ethernaut. in particular, when running the second topic “Fallback”. I deploy the contracts to ganache and run the react app. I can access player, getBalance(player), etc but when I send a transaction I get a revert error.

await contract.sendTransaction({ from: player, value: web3.utils.toWei("1", "ether") })

Not sure what is going on here. I have recloned the project, cleared all caches, etc but same error.

Hmm, another redeploy seemed to resolve the issue.
