TransactionException with empty revert reason

Steps To Reproduce

Here's my test:

package bounty_hunter_gradle

import kotlin.test.assertFailsWith
import com.google.common.truth.Truth.assertThat
import java.math.BigInteger
import java.time.Duration
import java.time.Instant
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test
import org.web3j.EVMTest
import org.web3j.NodeType
import org.web3j.protocol.Web3j
import org.web3j.protocol.core.methods.response.TransactionReceipt
import org.web3j.protocol.exceptions.TransactionException
import org.web3j.tx.TransactionManager
import org.web3j.tx.gas.ContractGasProvider
import bounty_hunter_gradle.web3j.Bounties

@EVMTest(type = NodeType.EMBEDDED)
class AppTest {

  @Test
  fun shouldAnswerWithTrue(
    web3j: Web3j, transactionManager: TransactionManager, gasProvider: ContractGasProvider,
  ) {
    val bounties: Bounties = Bounties.deploy(web3j, transactionManager, gasProvider).send()
    val deadline: BigInteger = BigInteger.valueOf(Instant.now().plus(Duration.ofHours(1)).getEpochSecond())
    val send: TransactionReceipt  = bounties.issueBounty("test_bounty", deadline, BigInteger.valueOf(1000)).send()
    assertThat(send.getStatus()).isEqualTo("ok")
  }
}

Expected behavior

The error message for TransactionException contains the reason the transaction failed.

Actual behavior

Here's the test output:

org.web3j.protocol.exceptions.TransactionException: Transaction 0x0d91b6a3ab8c18cfb2788d6bc3f67e3d7f59d46be96f4aa06dc4a83bb29b5697 has failed with status: 0x0. Gas used: 36782. Revert reason: ''.
