I'm making a simple dApp that sends funds from one account to another using Truffle + MetaMask on testrpc. In my app.js, I have a pay() function that calls

web3.eth.sendTransaction({from: account1, to: account2, value: web3.toWei(amount,"ether")}

When the function is triggered via the HTML page and the transaction pops up on MetaMask, the funds get deducted from account1 but do not show up on account2. I think it might be because the contract hasn't been properly mined or MetaMask is slow? The chrome extension shows the contract as "Published", not "Pending" though.

If I perform the same command via the truffle console, the transaction gets processed appropriately, and I can verify that the value has been transferred from account1 to account2. How can I fix this? I've tried restarting chrome.

I deploy the contract in 2_deploy_contract.js with:

deployer.deploy(Purchase, web3.eth.accounts[1], web3.eth.accounts[2], {from: web3.eth.accounts[0], gas: 4000000});

Seems to be related to the latest Google Chrome release (59.0.3071.115). I'm experiencing the same issues as you. Metamask acts like the Tx went through, but nothing shows up in testrpc output.

The Metamask gituhub issues page is also feeling the pain. See links below.

  • I see. By testrpc logs, do you mean the console output? if not, how do I check those logs? Any workarounds to this issue? Thanks!

  • Yes, console output. Thanks for helping clarify. Edited post accordingly.

  • In my testrpc console I see this when I approve a tx on MetaMask: eth_sendRawTransaction Transaction: <address> Contract created: <address> Gas usage: 0xcf08 Block Number: 0x09 Block Time: Thu Jul 06 2017 19:51:33 GMT-0300 (-03) So there seems to be a record in the console. But when I do sendTransaction() directly in the console, it reports eth_sendTransaction instead of eth_sendRawTransaction

  • Interesting. Can you try web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt(<address>) and see what it says? Also, do you have a gist you can link to of the code you've got?
