I get this error or another error err: insufficient funds for gas * price + value, which has been exhaustively discussed, but no real solution has worked for me here.
I saw the suggestion made here, but I don't see where I'm using the same method
I am running a bot that operates a swap between crytocurrencies on two exchanges. Here is the relevant code:
The bot is running against a live contract on etherscan here.
reserve0 = reserves.reserve0;
reserve0toNumber = BigInt(reserve0)
let maxUint256 = BigInt("115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639935")
if (reserve0toNumber < maxUint256) {
reserve0Final = reserve0toNumber
} else {
reserve0Final = maxUint256
}
reserve1 = reserves.reserve1
console.log(`Reserves on ${_routerPath[1]._address}`)
console.log(`Token 1: ${reserve0}`)
console.log(`Token 0: ${reserve1}\n`)
try {
*** //This is where the ds-math-sub-underflow error occurs
let result = await _routerPath[0].methods.getAmountsIn(reserve0Final, [_token0.address, _token1.address]).call()
const token0In = result[0]
const token1In = result[1]
result = await _routerPath[1].methods.getAmountsOut(token1In, [_token1.address, _token0.address]).call()
console.log(`Estimated amount of Token 0 needed to buy enough Token 1 on ${exchangeToBuy}\t\t| ${web3.utils.fromWei(token0In, 'ether')}`)
console.log(`Estimated amount of Token 0 returned after swapping Token 1 on ${exchangeToSell}\t| ${web3.utils.fromWei(result[1], 'ether')}\n`)
const { amountIn, amountOut } = await getEstimatedReturn(token0In, _routerPath, _token0, _token1)
console.log([amountIn,amountOut])
// const block = web3.eth.getBlock("latest")
// const gas = web3.eth.getBlock("latest").gasLimit
*** //This is where the insufficient funds for gas * price + value error occurs
const estimatedGasCost = await _routerPath[0].methods.swapExactTokensForTokens(result[1], web3.utils.toWei('1', 'ether'), [_token1.address, _token0.address],account, Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60*60).estimateGas({from: account, value: web3.utils.toWei(result[1], 'ether')});

I can't see a reason why this would be failing other than maybe a math problem? Any thoughts?
UPDATE I have been printing out different parts of the code I provided and I'm fairly comfortable that there is indeed a math problem, I'm just not totally sure how to fix it.
Here's the updated code:
reserve0 = reserves.reserve0;
reserve1 = reserves.reserve1
console.log(`Reserves on ${_routerPath[1]._address}`)
console.log(`Token 1: ${reserve0}`)
console.log(`Token 0: ${reserve1}\n`)
try {
//***This is where the ds-math-sub-underflow error occurs
let result = await _routerPath[0].methods.getAmountsIn(reserve0, [_token0.address, _token1.address]).call()
console.log(`result: ${result}`)
const token0In = result[0]
const token1In = result[1]
result = await _routerPath[1].methods.getAmountsOut(token1In, [_token1.address, _token0.address]).call()
console.log(`result V2: ${result}`)
console.log(`Estimated amount of Token 0 needed to buy enough Token 1 on ${exchangeToBuy}\t\t| ${web3.utils.fromWei(token0In, 'ether')}`)
console.log(`Estimated amount of Token 0 returned after swapping Token 1 on ${exchangeToSell}\t| ${web3.utils.fromWei(result[1], 'ether')}\n`)
const { amountIn, amountOut } = await getEstimatedReturn(token0In, _routerPath, _token0, _token1)
console.log(`amountIn: ${amountIn}`)
console.log(`amountOut: ${amountOut}`)
// ***This is where the insufficient funds for gas * price + value error occurs
const estimatedGasCost = await _routerPath[0].methods.swapExactTokensForTokens(result[1], web3.utils.toWei('1', 'ether'), [_token1.address, _token0.address],account, Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60*60).estimateGas({from: account, value: web3.utils.toWei(result[1], 'ether')});
Here's an example with result and resultV2 printed out:

Seems like the amountsIn result is greater than the amountsOut result every time.
Final note - this update is demonstrating the gas * price + value error, but I THINK the ds-math-sub-underflow error happens in the same spot, it just errors out at the try in its entirety
Update 2 It's possible that the math problem is originating from the estimateGas function call. It seems that function may require that I provide a wallet address with enough ether to cover the entirety of the trade amount, even though the contract this is using has arbitrage components to it (though, at this point in the code, because I haven't called the contract at all it doesn't know that). How can I estimate the gas in a "theoretical" way without it deciding I'm too poor to run the trade and refusing to continue?
Update 3 I've discovered that reserve0 in the line let result = await _routerPath[0].methods.getAmountsIn(reserve0, [_token0.address, _token1.address]).call() is being passed as a string when it should be a uint. However, even with this change the same error is occurring. Could really use some help here if anybody has any to give.
