this is my problem :)

Issue

"Error: Returned error: VM Exception while processing transaction: revert" when reaching the Transfer function. I think it is related to the fact that my Crowdsale smart contrat hasn't any TotalSupply of my tokens.

Steps to Reproduce

Token Smart contract :

    pragma solidity   0.5.16; 

    import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/ERC20/DetailedERC20.sol";
    import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/ERC20/PausableToken.sol";

    contract TokenSPC is PausableToken, DetailedERC20 
    {

        constructor(string memory _name, string memory _symbol, uint8 _decimals, uint256 _amount)
        DetailedERC20(_name, _symbol, _decimals)
        public
        {

            require(_amount > 0, "amount has to be greater than 0");
            totalSupply_ = _amount.mul(10 ** uint256(_decimals));
            balances[msg.sender] = totalSupply_;
            emit Transfer(address(0), msg.sender, totalSupply_);


        }
    } 

Crowdsale Smart Contract :


    pragma solidity 0.5.16;

    import './TokenSPC.sol';
    import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
    import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/ERC20/PausableToken.sol";
    import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/crowdsale/Crowdsale.sol";
    import "openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/crowdsale/validation/CappedCrowdsale.sol";


    contract TokenCrowdsale is Crowdsale, CappedCrowdsale {

      //Minim invest contrib
      //Max invest contrib
      uint256 public investorMinCap = 2000000000000000;
      uint256 public investorHardCap = 50000000000000000000;
      mapping(address => uint256) public contributions;

      constructor(
        uint256 _rate,
        address payable _wallet,
        ERC20 _token,
        uint256 _cap
       )
      Crowdsale(_rate, _wallet, _token)
      CappedCrowdsale(_cap)
      public
      {

      }

      function getUserContribution(address _beneficiary)
      public view returns(uint256)
      {
        return contributions[_beneficiary];
      }

      function _preValidatePurchase(
        address _beneficiary, 
        uint256 _weiAmount
     )
     internal
     {
        super._preValidatePurchase(_beneficiary,_weiAmount);
        uint256 _existingContribution = contributions[_beneficiary];
        uint256 _newContribution = _existingContribution.add(_weiAmount);
        require(_newContribution >= investorMinCap && _newContribution <= investorHardCap);
        contributions[_beneficiary] = _newContribution;
     } 
   }

};

First method to have the error :

Launch ganache-cli via cmd : ganache-cli

Compile : truffle compile

Launch test : truffle test ./test/TokenCrowdsale.test.js

Second method to have the error :

Launch ganache-cli via cmd : ganache-cli

Compile : truffle compile

Migrate : truffle migrate

Use console : truffle console

Commands in truffle console :

    - TokenSPC.deployed().then(instance => token = instance)
    - TokenCrowdsale.deployed().then(instance => crowdsale = instance)

    - web3.eth.getAccounts().then(function(acc){ accounts = acc }) 
    -  var tokenamount = 100 * 10**18 
    - token.transfer(accounts[1], tokenamount.toString())

    - crowdsale.buyTokens(accounts[1], { from: accounts[1], value: 10000000000000000000 })

Expected Behavior

The Crowdsale smart contract have a fixed totalSupply, i don't want any minted token. So i expect the crowdsale to do the transactions to buy the token and transfer it to the user.

Environment

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Ethereum client: Ganache-cli => v6.9.1, Ganache-core => v2.10.2

  • node version (node --version): v12.16.1
  • npm version (npm --version): v6.13.4

More Informations

I'm following a tutorial from DappUniversity : Real World Ico to help me building my smart contract functionnalities. I've done a lot of research about a lot of errors that i've encountered and almost find everytime a solution. But the VM Error is crap and doesn't tell anything. Also, i didn't find any issue similar to mine. There's only one topic pointing out the fact that most of the time if it's not out-of-gas issue, it's because we don't have any token to buy, and that's true for my part. I really think it's because i don't have any totalSupply in my crowdsale so he can't buy / transfer / ect... and i'm stuck because i can't find a tutorial or topic explaing how to have a fixed total supply. Actually there is one really sticking to my situation which is that topic :

Crowdsale Tokens

But he is creating the token contract with the help of the crowdsale contract, and i'm not doing this neither i want to. I need to find a way to transfer the totalSupply from the token contract to the crowdsale contract, and to test it with truffle test.

Thanks a lot for your help peeps !

Your crowdsale contract has no tokens to transfer to the buyer.

You transfer ownership of the Token Contract in your test file, but the total supply is still in control of the Token Contract deployer address . From the looks of it should be your account[0].

After both your contract have been instantiated, you will need to do something like:

await this.token.transfer(desiredAmountOfTokens, this.crowdsale.address)

0

Yes, i’m pretty sure it comes from the fact that my Crowdsale contract have no supply has you said. I was expecting to do the transfer from the Token.sol Smartcontract, but in fact, i need to do it in the Test script ? So i can’t make it an automatism ? I will need to transfer manually the supply from the token to the crowdsale after their deployments ?

Thank you really much for your time !
