Go-ethereum private network in Proof-of-Authority problem: call contract method but nothing response

Question

When I created a 2 nodes private network with POA consensus and it works fine when I sent a simple transaction. But when I deploy a simple contract SimpleStorage.sol with Truffle, I want to call the get() method by using the myetherwallet, but it returns 0 , not 100.

The detailed of SimpleStorage is as shown below:

pragma solidity >=0.4.17;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint storedData = 100;

    function set(uint x) public {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint) {
        return storedData;
    }
}

Expected behavior

When called get() method, it should return 100.

Actual behaviour

It returned 0

I found that there's another one ran into a similar issue as me:

One of ethereum solidity methods is not working properly got error Returned values aren't valid, did it run Out of Gas

Can anyone help me to address this issue?

Answer 1

I have figured out why I cannot retrieve the value from variable storedData...

When I set storedData to be public, then it works fined.

(But to be noticed that if using ganache-cli, I can get the storedData even if it is not public variable...)

pragma solidity >=0.4.17;

contract SimpleStorage {
    // uint storedData = 100;
    uint public storedData = 100; // set it to be public

    function set(uint x) public {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint) {
        return storedData;
    }
}
