passing asset in a transaction

[ycryptx]

I have a contract:

void master::newrepo(account_name a,uint64_t cid, eosio::asset src){ //bla bla bla }); }

and I call this function here:

function newRepoEOS(data) {
  configChain.keyProvider = masterKey;
  const eos = Eos(configChain);

  const masterCall = {
  actions: [
    {
      account: configFiles.masterSC,
      name: 'newrepo',
      authorization: [{
        actor: configFiles.masterSC,
        permission: 'active'
      }],
      data: {
        a: format.encodeName(data.username),
        cid: format.encodeName(data.cid),
        src: '0 TEST'
      }
      }
    ]
  };
  return eos.transaction(masterCall);
}

But I'm getting the following error: { AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: expecting asset string, got object newrepo. action.data transaction.actions at toAssetString (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/eosjs/lib/structs.js:416:10) at Object.fromObject (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/eosjs/lib/structs.js:484:16) at Object.fromObject (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/fcbuffer/lib/struct.js:143:31) at actionDataFromObject (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/eosjs/lib/structs.js:702:29) at Object.fromObject (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/fcbuffer/lib/struct.js:148:15) at Object.fromObject (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/fcbuffer/lib/types.js:384:28) at Object.fromObject (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/fcbuffer/lib/struct.js:151:34) at _callee2$ (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/eosjs/lib/write-api.js:608:38) at tryCatch (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:65:40) at Generator.invoke [as _invoke] (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:303:22) at Generator.prototype.(anonymous function) [as next] (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:117:21) at tryCatch (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:65:40) at invoke (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:155:20) at /Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:202:11 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at callInvokeWithMethodAndArg (/Users/x/Desktop/production/node_modules/babel-polyfill/node_modules/regenerator-runtime/runtime.js:201:16) generatedMessage: false, name: 'AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]', code: 'ERR_ASSERTION', actual: 'object', expected: 'string', operator: '==' }

Would appreciate the help.

Git on EOS?

I was able to pass an asset to a method like you described. Except, I did not have a namespace master before my action name. It looked more like this:

void newrepo(account_name a, uint64_t cid, eosio::asset src){}

And this:

eos.contract('hello.code')
   .then(hello => {hello.newrepo('acct', 0, '1 SYS', {authorization: 'hello.code'})})
   .catch(err => {console.error(err)})

Or this:

> eos.transaction({"actions": [
...                 {
.....                     "account": "hello.code",
.....                     "name": "newrepo",
.....                     "authorization": [
.....                         {
.......                             "actor": "hello.code",
.......                             "permission": "active"
.......                         }
.....                     ],
.....                     "data": {
.......                         "a": "acct",
.......                         "cid": 0,
.......                         "src": "1.0000 SYS"
.......                     }
.....                 }
...             ]})
