Uncaught Error: Returned values aren't valid, did it run Out of Gas?

Question

I'm listening to events of my deployed contract. Whenever a transaction gets completed and event is fired receiving the response causes following error:

Uncaught Error: Returned values aren't valid, did it run Out of Gas? at ABICoder.push../node_modules/web3-eth-abi/src/index.js.ABICoder.decodeParameters (index.js:227) at ABICoder.push../node_modules/web3-eth-abi/src/index.js.ABICoder.decodeLog (index.js:277)

Web3 version: 1.0.0-beta36

Metamask version: 4.16.0

How do I fix it?

Answer 1

This is a bug in web3js, discussed here.

And the following change fixes it (source):

patch-package

+++ b/node_modules/web3-eth-abi/src/index.js

     var nonIndexedData = data;
-    var notIndexedParams = (nonIndexedData) ? this.decodeParameters(notIndexedInputs, nonIndexedData) : [];
+    var notIndexedParams = (nonIndexedData && nonIndexedData !== '0x') ? this.decodeParameters(notIndexedInputs, nonIndexedData) : [];

     var returnValue = new Result();
     returnValue.__length__ = 0;

Edit: Downgrading to 1.0.0-beta33 fixes the problem as well.
