Oraclize Sample contracts failing in JavaScript VM: VM Exception: out of gas / invalid opcode

Question

I'm simply trying to run one of the sample contracts here at dapps.oraclize.it/browser-solidity/ e.g. DieselPrice.sol.

When I create the contract without passing a value I get VM Exception: out of gas and when I do pass a value I get VM Exception: invalid opcode.

I'm wondering what's happening here.. what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Fixed the issue by changing the solidity version of the compiler to 0.4.20, making the constructor payable and removing calling 'update()' from the constructor.
