Sale.new({ from: state.account, value: value, gas: 4000000 }).then((instance) => {
  // do something with instance
}).catch((err) => {
  alert(err)
})

When the above code runs I sometimes receive this error: The contract code couldn't be stored, please check your gas amount.

The contract I am trying to create is almost exactly the same as the safe remote payment contract in the solidity docs with maybe just a few more lines.

The weird thing is that the contract actuallygets created and I can see the successful transaction in MetaMask and the Ether is subtracted from my account. I can even then use Sale.at(<new contract address>) to interact with the created contract. I've been testing in the Ropsten network.

One thing you didn't mention here is that previously this worked fine, but about a week ago this stopped working.

This makes me think it's a bug with MetaMask, and I'm sorry we haven't gotten to figure it out yet: https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-plugin/issues/1361

This feels like one of those very broad errors. I encountered it when I added a function argument without updating my ABI file (I keep function definitions and functions in separate files) - this led to the function definition being inconsistent with the implementation.

Hope that helps someone.

  • This was my problem with this error message. I had added a function to the abstract contract, but not to the implemented contract.

you got the error after the exception thrown in the constructor.

i think there is something wrong with this snippet :

  function Purchase() payable {
        seller = msg.sender;
        value = msg.value / 2;
        if (2 * value != msg.value) throw;
    }

it's likely to throw an exception while 2*value==msg.value.

  • Why is it likely to throw an exception? And it this throws then shouldn't the transaction be rolled back? Why does it get created successfully?

  • what's value you send in the creation transaction?

  • The user will type in something like 0.1. Which is then ran through web3.toWei(web3.toBigNumber(0.1).times(2), 'ether') So I would think that the constructor should be able to divide the value sent equally into 2 parts because it was multiplied by 2 before being sent.
