Invalid sender address, failed to deploy a transaction to the blockchain network

Question

Description

I'm trying to deploy a contract to rinkeby network, but everytime I like to deploy the contract it throwing error as invalid sender.

Compile code

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
const solc = require('solc');

const contractFile = 'xxx.sol';

const lotteryPath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'contracts', contractFile);
const source = fs.readFileSync(lotteryPath, 'utf8');

const input = {
    language: 'Solidity',
    sources: {
        [contractFile]: {
            content: source
        }
    },
    settings: {
        outputSelection: {
            '*': {
                '*': ['*']
            }
        }
    }
}

const compiled_contract = JSON.parse(solc.compile(JSON.stringify(input)));

const interface = compiled_contract.contracts[contractFile]['XXX'].abi;
const bytecode = compiled_contract.contracts[contractFile]['XXX'].evm.bytecode.object;

module.exports = { interface, bytecode };

Deploy Code

const HDWalletProvider = require('@truffle/hdwallet-provider');
const Web3 = require('web3');

const { interface, object: bytecode } = require('./compile');

const provider = new HDWalletProvider(
  'mnemonic phrases...',
  'https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/bba91a6c349c44afbde264a1bda1af75'
);

const web3 = new Web3(provider);

(async () => {
  const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();

  const result = await new web3.eth.Contract(interface)
    .deploy({ data: bytecode })
    .send({ from: accounts[0], gas: '1000000' }); 

  console.log('interface', interface);
  console.log('Contract deployed to', result.options.address);

})();

Versions

Answer 1

Try:

    const contract = await new web3.eth.Contract(JSON.parse(interface))
      .deploy( { data:"0x"+bytecode} )
      .send( { gas: '300000', gasPrice: 10, from:accounts[0]});

Otherwise please make sure that your accounts array includes actual values.
