Serialization issues with calling testnet smart contract due to incompatibility with v1.82

[s-n-park]

Context:

• Recently walking through the simple testnet smart contract deployment example on Docs

The Issue:

• After successful deployment of smart contract of sp-testing-proximity.testnet, when trying to make a function call, I ran into the following error:

Error: 0: Error: An error occurred during a FunctionCall Action, parameter is debug message. CompilationError(PrepareError(Deserialization))

The solution:

• On Discord @PiVortex had noted this can been resolved by:
• Downgrading to 1.81.0 (navigated to smart contract directory and ran rustup override set 1.81.0, and then redeploying the smart contract. See my notes on resolution in Discord

Request:

• Wanted to see if it's possible to fix this issue via the NEAR CLI to be compatible with 1.82? Feel free to migrate issue if this is not the correct repo to note on.

This can be resolved by upgrading to the most recent version of cargo-near and using the most recent version of near workspaces (which cargo near new has). This is not to do with the CLI AFIAK, if you test by calling the function through nearblocks I expect you would see the same error?

Try updating your cargo-near and running again, it should work with 1.82.0 https://github.com/near/cargo-near/releases/tag/cargo-near-v0.11.0
