When trying the following code I will get an an wrong JSON RPC response.
const fnc = myContract.methods.transferToken(...).encodeABI();
const tx = Object.assign({
nonce: nonce,
to: address,
data: fnc,
gasPrice: 2e9,
gas: 1e6,
from: accounts[account].address
}, options);
try {
let signed = await web3.eth.signTransaction(tx, Buffer.from(accounts[account].key, 'hex'));
return (await web3.sendSignedTransaction(signed.raw)).transactionHash
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
There was a long exception thrown:

The error message is The web server reported a gateway time-out. It happens when the signTransaction function was called.
I also tried the sample from the documentation:
const fnc = myContract.methods.transferToken(...).encodeABI();
var Tx = require('ethereumjs-tx');
var privateKey = new Buffer('e331b6d69882b4cb4ea581d88e0b604039a3de5967688d3dcffdd2270c0fd109', 'hex')
var rawTx = {
nonce: '0x00',
gasPrice: '0x09184e72a000',
gasLimit: '0x2710',
to: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
value: '0x00',
data: fnc
}
var tx = new Tx(rawTx);
tx.sign(privateKey);
var serializedTx = tx.serialize();
web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction('0x' + serializedTx.toString('hex'))
.on('receipt', console.log);
The behaviour was really strange: The transaction was executed but it seems the values in the contract hasn't been changed. I switched back to the old web3 and this method worked fine.
