Can't send private tnx

[ToToDoDo]

After I start a goquorum network with private tnx support by quorum-dev-quickstart, I deployed private contract successfully. But when I call set() method with privateFor parameter, I got an error. And I can't get tnx of contract deploying detail by eth.getPrivateTransaction().

The contract which I deployed was copied from: https://docs.goquorum.consensys.net/tutorials/send-private-transaction

Same issue. If selected GoQuorum client in npx quorum-dev-quickstart command (all other options set by default), I got same error:

@ToToDoDo did you find any solution?

[im1ex]

Previous version works well, so just use:

npx quorum-dev-quickstart@0.1.2

[paragao]

same here, running the hyperledger besu client. Also, the tutorial tells the user to run npm install inside the ./smart_contracts directory but there is not a package.json file there. You can find it under ./smart_contracts/privacy .

[joshuafernandes]

@antonydenyer should we revert #244 to fix the above?

[antonydenyer]

That's an interesting bug.

The root cause is https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum/blob/fbfb5dd12a8c2b8abd053f858ef539ab38196b75/core/vm/operations_acl.go#L66

This is happening because the address is indeed absent in the public statedb! Why are we seeing it now? It was introduced in the Berlin fork. The workaround is to set the Berlin fork block to a very high value. The correct answer is to fix the bug https://github.com/Consensys/quorum/issues/1657

It was introduce in https://github.com/Consensys/quorum-dev-quickstart/pull/250

[joshuafernandes]

Thank you @antonydenyer :)

@ToToDoDo @imlex I've pushed a fix #259 for the goquorum side of things (bandaid albeit till its fixed in the goq codebase) to master.

Re Besu: Am waiting for #259 to get merged and I'll cut a fresh release which should fix both

[joshuafernandes]

Closing this as this should be fixed in 0.1.4
