Error while sending a transaction from Web3py to a Smart Contract in Remix

Question

Ok, so I am trying to make a transaction by myself and send it to the contract compiled in the Remix IDE. I am using Ganache and Remix IDE. ( and the Python Code is being written in Jupyter Notebook )

here's the code I am using;

tx = {
    'nonce': nonce,
    'to': address_of_smart_contract,
    'value': web3.toWei(1, 'ether'),
    'gas': 2000000,
    'gasPrice': : web3.toWei('50', 'gwei'),
}

signed_tx = web3.eth.account.signTransaction(tx, private_key)


tx_hash = web3.eth.sendRawTransaction(signed_tx.rawTransaction)

This is the error message i'm getting ;

'message': 'VM Exception while processing transaction: revert', 'code': -32000

Please help me out!

Answer 1

You get the revert error when a condition that is supposed to meet hasn't. Which will lead to the incorrect signing of the transaction.
