+1 also stuck on this same problem

Skyge · March 21, 2021, 9:54am

I am not sure, but did you use 32 bytes of private key (do not paste key at here)?

bencong_he · March 21, 2021, 12:04pm

Yes ,and mnemonic words is also has this issue

bencong_he · March 21, 2021, 12:05pm

Have you solved it

twairball · March 21, 2021, 11:24pm

truffle version:
$ truffle version

Truffle v5.2.4 (core: 5.2.4)

Solidity - 0.6.12 (solc-js)

Node v15.12.0

Web3.js v1.2.9

truffle-config snippets:

const HDWalletProvider = require('@truffle/hdwallet-provider');
const { infuraProjectId, mnemonic } = require('./secrets.json');
...

// rinkeby
rinkeby: {
  provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(
    mnemonic, `https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/${infuraProjectId}`
  ),
  network_id: 4,
  // gasPrice: 10e9,
  gas: 5500000,  
  skipDryRun: false
},

I can get eth balance of the wallet account just fine, so I expect signing etc to work?

$ npx truffle console --network rinkeby
truffle(rinkeby)> accounts
[

]
truffle(rinkeby)> await web3.eth.getBalance(accounts[0])
'2995716000000000000'
truffle(rinkeby)> .exit

running migrate ends with the mentioned error:

$ npx truffle migrate --network rinkeby

Hi @bencong_he,

Welcome to the community

I get the same issue deploying the Box contract to Rinkeby using Truffle and Alchemy.

$ npx truffle migrate --network rinkeby --reset

I could deploy using Hardhat so it looks like it may be an issue with Truffle / Truffle HD Wallet Provider

$ npx hardhat run --network rinkeby scripts/deploy.js
Deploying Box...

I downgraded Truffle HD Wallet Provider versions and was able to deploy

    "@truffle/hdwallet-provider": "^1.2.3"

I created an Issue on Truffle:

bencong_he · March 22, 2021, 1:45pm

Thank you very much,but I downgraded Truffle HD Wallet Provider to 1.2.3,it also had this issue,I don't know why.

nassredean · March 22, 2021, 1:49pm

I’ve been having the same problem the last two days and have been following this thread. I was able to get it working by downgrading to version 1.2.1 as opposed to 1.2.3

PatrickAlphaC · March 23, 2021, 1:00pm

Thanks for making the truffle issue @abcoathup, it appears we just have to wait for truffle to fix, or use hardhat.

abcoathup · March 24, 2021, 8:56am

Hi @PatrickAlphaC,

Or use an earlier version of @truffle/hdwallet-provider until this is resolved.

Stevers · March 26, 2021, 3:50pm

I wasted too many hours between last night and this morning trying to debug this issue.

You all are life savers…

abcoathup · March 29, 2021, 3:19am

Hi @Stevers,

Welcome to the community

Glad this thread helped.
