Contract fails with error `{"CompilationError":{"PrepareError":"Deserialization"}}}`

[fadeevab]

I'm trying to build, deploy, and run a simple project (https://github.com/NEARFoundation/near-smart-contract-rust-template) on near-workspaces JS.

Deployment code snippet:

  // Deploy passes successfully
  const contract = await root.devDeploy(config.wasmPath, {
    initialBalance: NEAR.parse('30 N').toJSON(),
  });

  // Throws an ERROR
  await owner.call(contract, 'new', { owner_id: owner.accountId });

I get the following error on a function call:

Toolchain versions I tried:

1. 1.70
2. 1.74

NOTE: near dev-deploy on the actual testnet works fine. NOTE2: Smart contract successfully deploys on the "near-sandbox": "^0.0.17".

I would like to second this issue, however I tried every minor between 1.66.0 and 1.74.0. Also using near-sandbox 0.0.17 does not fix it for me.

• This response suggest adding the -C target-cpu=mvp compiler flag, but also suggesting to make use of unstable features and rebuild std
• Another suggested solution is pinning rust to 1.69.0

None of these solutions seem to work for me.

@fadeevab I just figured out that installing near-sandbox 0.0.17 leaves a copy of 0.0.14 in the node_modules of near-workspaces. Symlinking the latter to the former leaves me with a weird error in the beforeEach hook:

  Rejected promise returned by test. Reason:

Experienced the same issue and pinning rust to 1.69 fixed it for me.

@ailisp Hey Bo, as reported by devs from community, quite some are suffering with this issue when testing with workspaces-js, when using Rust before 1.70.0.

We may need to upgrade the sandbox version in workspaces-js to fix this. It should have been fixed in nearcore: https://github.com/near/create-near-app/issues/2009
