I tested both signing payment and signature verification that is implemented by JavaScript and EthereumJS here:

And both of them (signing and verification) properly work, meaning that I am sure the signature is verified successfully in off-chain part by EthereumJS. I signed the payment as follows:

signPayment('0x5A375e7eb3763261BfB74bc53c49B754887b0dc2', 10, function(err, something) {}); 
//signature= 0x0fd0ceca10baada793b3103bcc7ba7523ec8fc79aa070bc8fe9301fc72c0c8424804b3064095a201af464a35483ce55c4aee1fe56aebf0f99bb31b682679b21a1c

Then, I deployed the Solidity contract as follows:

const thisContract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi);

    thisContract.deploy({  

            data: bytecode,

            arguments: [ "0x84f0c8fC2F6bc8394EB77BaAAe89cB6e12C048C2", 2592000]

        }).send({

           from: "0x3455D7167A2EE2d660EE85F8e90C6b3B1cCB7163",

           gas: 5000000 ,

           gasPrice: '3000000000',

           value: 5000 

        },

        function(error, transactionHash) {

            console.log(error);

            console.log(transactionHash);

            console.log('function exec');

        }).then(function(newContractInstance) {

        console.log('Contract Instance:' + newContractInstance.options.address);

    });

And the result is as follows:

> web3.eth.personal.unlockAccount('0x3455D7167A2EE2d660EE85F8e90C6b3B1cCB7163', 'logic')

function exec
Contract Instance:0x5A375e7eb3763261BfB74bc53c49B754887b0dc2

So, the payer address is 0x3455D7167A2EE2d660EE85F8e90C6b3B1cCB7163 and its balance is 19994680471999980000 as follows:

     _eventsCount: 3,
     _maxListeners: undefined,
     members: [] } }
> 19994680471999980000

And the contract address is 0x5A375e7eb3763261BfB74bc53c49B754887b0dc2. And when I get contract balance, it is = 5000 wei as follows :

> web3.eth.getBalance('0x5A375e7eb3763261BfB74bc53c49B754887b0dc2').then(console.log)
Promise {
  <pending>,
  domain: 
   Domain {
     domain: null,
     _events: 
      { removeListener: [Function: updateExceptionCapture],
        newListener: [Function: updateExceptionCapture],
        error: [Function: debugDomainError] },
     _eventsCount: 3,
     _maxListeners: undefined,
     members: [] } }
> 5000

Also the recipient address is 0x84f0c8fC2F6bc8394EB77BaAAe89cB6e12C048C2 and its balance is zero as follows:

> web3.eth.getBalance('0x84f0c8fC2F6bc8394EB77BaAAe89cB6e12C048C2').then(console.log)
Promise {
  <pending>,
  domain: 
   Domain {
     domain: null,
     _events: 
      { removeListener: [Function: updateExceptionCapture],
        newListener: [Function: updateExceptionCapture],
        error: [Function: debugDomainError] },
     _eventsCount: 3,
     _maxListeners: undefined,
     members: [] } }
> 0

Till now, everything is OK. Now, I expect when I close the channel by recipient address (0x84f0c8fC2F6bc8394EB77BaAAe89cB6e12C048C2), its balance changes from 0 to 10 wei.

However, when I invoke the function close, apparently it is done as follows:

> var contractInstance = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, '0x3455D7167A2EE2d660EE85F8e90C6b3B1cCB7163');
undefined

> contractInstance.methods.close(10, "0x0fd0ceca10baada793b3103bcc7ba7523ec8fc79aa070bc8fe9301fc72c0c8424804b3064095a201af464a35483ce55c4aee1fe56aebf0f99bb31b682679b21a1c").send({ from: '0x84f0c8fC2F6bc8394EB77BaAAe89cB6e12C048C2' }, function(error, result) {

What is missing to make a "successful" payment between "payer" and "recipient" ?

Note: As you can see in the output of the transaction, it is written that

(node:4688) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Transaction ran out of gas. Please provide more gas:

Can it cause this problem ? And if so, how can I increase the gas at the time of invoking contractInstance.methods.close ?

Also, I am not sure about this line:

var contractInstance = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, '0x3455D7167A2EE2d660EE85F8e90C6b3B1cCB7163');

that it must be :

var contractInstance = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, '<contract deployer address  = payer address>');

Or:

var contractInstance = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, '<contract address>');

Which one is correct ?

And also it's not because using Tobalaba blockchain ? (that is base on Ethereum)

Note: Also I tested it by a version in which function close does not verify the signature, however the result is the same.

And alternatively, is there other test blockchain like Tobalaba blockchain based on Ethereum (and also free) to test this contract ? since maybe the problem is related to this Ethereum based blockchain. I am not sure.

    It should be new web3.eth.Contract(abi, '<contract address>');.

    Ropsten, Rinkeby, and Kovan are the standard Ethereum test networks. You can also test locally with ganache.

  • @smarx Thank you, Do you mean testRPC = ganache ? If so do you mean I need to deploy contract using remix ? Thanks

    Yes, ganache is the new name for what used to be called testrpc. Whether you deploy with Remix or code (as you've done here) has nothing to do with whether you're using Ropsten, ganache, or anything else.
