}

when i tried to transfer using depositToken function error showing transact to TestFunding.depositToken errored: VM error: revert.

revert The transaction has been reverted to the initial state. Reason provided by the contract: "ERC20: transfer amount exceeds allowance". Debug the transaction to get more information.

when i tried to transfer using depositToken function error showing transact to TestFunding.depositToken2 errored: VM error: revert.

revert The transaction has been reverted to the initial state. Note: The called function should be payable if you send value and the value you send should be less than your current balance. Debug the transaction to get more information.

Answer 1

The ERC20 approve() transaction has to be mined first. And only after that has been confirmed by the network can the transferFrom() be used in a subsequent block.

Also, in the depositToken(), the way you have used approve(), it will be the smart contract that will approving itself.

The correct way is: The user has to send the approval transaction to the network. So at the user end, this instruction has to go to the network first:

_tokenContract.approve(address(_yourContractAddress), _amountToApprove, {from:_user});
