I’m taking initiative to learn with Web3js and Ganache for testing interactions with blockchain. (So go easy on me being a noob pls)
When trying #3 example from here: https://www.dappuniversity.com/articles/web3-js-intro
I am getting error "TypeError: web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction is not a function"
When I console logged my Web3 element, sendSignedTransaction is not within the returned JSON. Please help?
var Tx = require("ethereumjs-tx").Transaction const URL = "https://ropsten.infura.io/v3/{myInfuraID}" //Ropsten test network URL const Web3 = require('web3') const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(URL)) console.log(web3) //sendSignedTransaction is not in response const account1 = "{myGanacheAccount1}" //Ganache account 1 const account2 = "{myGanacheAccount2}" //Ganache account 2 const address1_keys = "{myGanacheAccountPrivateKey}" const privateKey1 = Buffer.from(address1_keys, 'hex') web3.eth.getTransactionCount(account1, (err, txCount) => { const txObject = { nonce: web3.toHex(txCount), //I also don't know why web3.utils.toHex(txCount) throws error to: account2, value: web3.toHex(web3.toWei('1', 'ether')), gasLimit: web3.toHex(21000), gasPrice: web3.toHex(web3.toWei('10', 'gwei')) } const tx = new Tx(txObject) tx.sign(privateKey1) const serializedTransaction = tx.serialize() const raw = '0x' + serializedTransaction.toString('hex') web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(raw, (err, txHash) => { //throws error here console.log('txHash: ', txHash) }) }) Error:
