I think I faced with the same error.

Please help.

BTW: Could you please show me steps of signing a transaction.

Thank you,

[jcalfee]

Does it work with the eosio/eos:20180328 docker image?

[henryyyx]

The root cause is that the structure of packet was changed for the fix to https://github.com/EOSIO/eosjs/issues/25

    const packedTr = {
      compression: 'none',
      data: tr,
      signatures: sigs
    }

[manh-vv]

Does it work with the eosio/eos:20180328 docker image? Yes, it does.

:(, sorry, I get the error while running on pre-release of dawn3. Could you make eosjs working with dawn3 - release soon. 👍

[tbfleming]

I have a pull request to support dawn-v3.0.0: https://github.com/EOSIO/eosjs/pull/49

[tinyhill666]

same problem

[gglzf4]

the same problem "eosjs": "^7.1.5"

[navcsdev]

@zhangrm @qiushaoxi if you need it immediately you can use

I have a pull request to support dawn-v3.0.0: #49

I change the code in node_modules and it is success 😄

[davidfrothin]

Still have the same problem with 7.1.6 version

[push_transaction error] '{"code":500,"message":"Internal Service Error","error":{"code":3120010,"name":"packed_transaction_type_exception","what":"Invalid packed transaction","details":[{"message":"Missing transaction","file":"abi_serializer.hpp","line_number":367,"method":"extract"},{"message":"Failed to deserialize variant","file":"abi_serializer.hpp","line_number":444,"method":"from_variant"},{"message":"Invalid packed transaction","file":"chain_plugin.cpp","line_number":414,"method":"push_transaction"}]}}',

[eq1984]

@davidfrothin have a look. your must change your local code. https://github.com/EOSIO/eosjs/pull/49/files

[davidfrothin]

@eq1984 so I went to my node_modules/eosjs/lib/write-api.js

Then made the change of commenting out those lines and replacing data with transaction. I still get the same error.

I will clear out and update again and get back.

[eq1984]

@davidfrothin restart your nodeos, and add this parameter. ~ nodeos --skip-transaction-signatures From time-to-time the eosjs and eosd binary format will change between releases so you may need to start eosd with the --skip-transaction-signatures parameter to get your transactions to pass.

[davidfrothin]

@eq1984 Did you use npm install eosjs@7.1.6 to install eosjs?

[davidfrothin]

thanks, started with ~ nodeos --skip-transaction-signatures and restarted I see the same error.

I installed eosjs with npm install eosjs@7.1.6

However, the code write-api.js starts with 'use strict';

var _slicedToArray = function () { function sliceIterator(arr, i) { var _arr = []; var _n = true; var _d = false; var _e = undefined; try { for (var _i = arr[Symbol.iterator](), _s; !(_n = (_s = _i.next()).done); _n = true) { _arr.push(_s.value); if (i && _arr.length === i) break; } } catch (err) { _d = true; _e = err; } finally { try { if (!_n && _i["return"]) _i["return"](); } finally { if (_d) throw _e; } } return _arr; } return function (arr, i) { if (Array.isArray(arr)) { return arr; } else if (Symbol.iterator in Object(arr)) { return sliceIterator(arr, i); } else { throw new TypeError("Invalid attempt to destructure non-iterable instance"); } }; }();

var _typeof = typeof Symbol === "function" && typeof Symbol.iterator === "symbol" ? function (obj) { return typeof obj; } : function (obj) { return obj && typeof Symbol === "function" && obj.constructor === Symbol && obj !== Symbol.prototype ? "symbol" : typeof obj; };

var assert = require('assert'); var ecc = require('eosjs-ecc'); var Fcbuffer = require('fcbuffer');

However 7.1.6 master and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tbfleming/cib-eosjs/d73cfd240f21ee44192e71d54c4069dbcf08f836/src/write-api.js starts with

const assert = require('assert') const ecc = require('eosjs-ecc') const Fcbuffer = require('fcbuffer') const createHash = require('create-hash') const {processArgs} = require('eosjs-api') const Structs = require('./structs')

module.exports = writeApiGen

[eq1984]

@davidfrothin yes. i install eosjs npm install eosjs@dawn3

check your post data

[davidfrothin]

Thanks for helping to trouble shoot. Some reason our files downloaded are different

when I install npm install eosjs@dawn3 then I see node_modules/eosjs/lib/write-api.js starts with 'use strict';

var _slicedToArray = function () { function sliceIterator(arr, i) { var _arr = []; var _n = true; var _d = false; var _e = undefined; try { for (var _i = arr[Symbol.iterator](), _s; !(_n = (_s = _i.next()).done); _n = true) { _arr.push(_s.value); if (i && _arr.length === i) break; } } catch (err) { _d = true; _e = err; } finally { try { if (!_n && _i["return"]) _i["return"](); } finally { if (_d) throw _e; } } return _arr; } return function (arr, i) { if (Array.isArray(arr)) { return arr; } else if (Symbol.iterator in Object(arr)) { return sliceIterator(arr, i); } else { throw new TypeError("Invalid attempt to destructure non-iterable instance"); } }; }();

var _typeof = typeof Symbol === "function" && typeof Symbol.iterator === "symbol" ? function (obj) { return typeof obj; } : function (obj) { return obj && typeof Symbol === "function" && obj.constructor === Symbol && obj !== Symbol.prototype ? "symbol" : typeof obj; };

var assert = require('assert'); var ecc = require('eosjs-ecc'); var Fcbuffer = require('fcbuffer'); var createHash = require('create-hash');

can you please paste the first few lines of /node_modules/eosjs/lib/write-api.js

[eq1984]

write-api.zip

[davidfrothin]

@eq1984 - thanks for your file. The issue is now resolved. The update worked.

Thanks for your help!

[davidfrothin]

Just an update that it was starting nodeos with nodeos --skip-transaction-signatures and above file that worked.

--skip-transaction-signatures what does it actually do? Will anyone be able to send transactions?

[jcalfee]

--skip-transaction-signatures lets all transactions pass without having a valid signature.. once you start skipping signatures.

[jcalfee]

moved to https://github.com/EOSIO/eosjs/issues/52

[Vyshakhcs1]

I had the same issue [push_transaction error]. And fixed it by adding modules const assert = require('assert') const ecc = require('eosjs-ecc') const Fcbuffer = require('fcbuffer') const createHash = require('create-hash') const {processArgs} = require('eosjs-api') const Structs = require('./structs')

Cheers (y)

[jcalfee]

@Vyshakhcs1 if your importing eosjs you don't need to manually import fcbuffer or any other eosjs-* package. A pointer to the correct version of each package is under Eos.Localnet().modules.

[LIU9293]

Can we reopen it cause push_transaction is still not work with current docker image. Related issue here: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/issues/2514

[frankli1224]

Anyone can help? I also have this issue in dawn 4 {"code":3010011,"name":"packed_transaction_type_exception","what":"Invalid packed transaction","details":[]}

[tbfleming]

dawn 4 is obsolete; 1.0 came out over a month ago.
