Why am I receiving the following Chainlink error: cannot estimate gas


I am trying to follow the Chainlink VRF tutorial found here: https://docs.chain.link/docs/intermediates-tutorial/ with hardhat and am running into this issue when calling the rollDice function:

Error: cannot estimate gas; transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit (error={"reason":"cannot estimate gas; transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit","code":"UNPREDICTABLE_GAS_LIMIT","method":"estimateGas","transaction":{"from":"0x014Da1D627E6ceB555975F09D26B048644382Ac6","maxPriorityFeePerGas":{"type":"BigNumber","hex":"0x9502f900"},"maxFeePerGas":{"type":"BigNumber","hex":"0x9502f90e"},"to":"0x5887946875A01D1BB79d6Fb357BceeA5A0096D2e","data":"0xdd02d9e5000000000000000000000000014da1d627e6ceb555975f09d26b048644382ac6","type":2,"accessList":null}}, tx={"data":"0xdd02d9e5000000000000000000000000014da1d627e6ceb555975f09d26b048644382ac6","to":{},"from":"0x014Da1D627E6ceB555975F09D26B048644382Ac6","type":2,"maxFeePerGas":{"type":"BigNumber","hex":"0x9502f90e"},"maxPriorityFeePerGas":{"type":"BigNumber","hex":"0x9502f900"},"nonce":{},"gasLimit":{},"chainId":{}}, code=UNPREDICTABLE_GAS_LIMIT, version=abstract-signer/5.5.0)

I am able to deploy to the Kovan testnet, I was able to verify the contract, and I have sent the contract LINK tokens, but am still running into the issue. The contract can be viewed here: https://kovan.etherscan.io/address/0x7b72d80670512c87605ab8ac7e6113fda9c57de4#code

I am using version 0.8 of the Chainlink Contracts.

RandomDay.sol

pragma solidity ^0.8.9;

contract RandomDay is VRFConsumerBase {
    
    uint256 private constant ROLL_IN_PROGRESS = 42;
    bytes32 private s_keyHash;
    uint256 private s_fee;

    mapping(bytes32 => address) private s_rollers;
    mapping(address => uint256) private s_results;

    event DiceRolled(bytes32 indexed requestId, address indexed roller);
    event DiceLanded(bytes32 indexed requestId, uint256 indexed result);

    constructor(address vrfCoordinator, address link, bytes32 keyHash, uint256 fee) VRFConsumerBase(vrfCoordinator, link) {
        s_keyHash = keyHash;
        s_fee = fee;
   
    }

    function rollDice (address roller) public returns (bytes32 requestId) {
        require(LINK.balanceOf(address(this)) >= s_fee, "Not enough LINK to pay fee");
        require(s_results[roller] == 0, "Already rolled");
        requestId = requestRandomness(s_keyHash, s_fee);
        s_rollers[requestId] = roller;
        s_results[roller] = ROLL_IN_PROGRESS;
        emit DiceRolled(requestId, roller);
        return requestId;
    }

    function fulfillRandomness (bytes32 requestId, uint256 randomness) internal override {
        uint256 dayOfWeek = (randomness % 7) + 1;
        s_results[s_rollers[requestId]] = dayOfWeek;
        emit DiceLanded(requestId, dayOfWeek);
    }

    function weekday (address player) public view returns (string memory) {
        require(s_results[player] != 0, "Dice not rolled");
        require(s_results[player] != ROLL_IN_PROGRESS, "Roll in progress");
        return getWeekdayName(s_results[player]);
    }

    function getWeekdayName (uint256 id) private pure returns (string memory) {
        string[7] memory weekdays = [ "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
        return weekdays[id - 1];
    }

Solution

  • I believe the addresses are off:

    Constructor Arguments of your contract: -----Decoded View--------------- Arg [0] : vrfCoordinator (address): 0xa36085f69e2889c224210f603d836748e7dc0088 Arg [1] : link (address): 0xdd3782915140c8f3b190b5d67eac6dc5760c46e9 Arg [2] : keyHash (bytes32): 0x6c3699283bda56ad74f6b855546325b68d482e983852a7a82979cc4807b641f4 Arg [3] : fee (uint256): 100000000000000000

    Via Chainlinks Docs:

    LINK 0xa36085F69e2889c224210F603D836748e7dC0088 VRF Coordinator 0xdD3782915140c8f3b190B5D67eAc6dc5760C46E9 Key Hash 0x6c3699283bda56ad74f6b855546325b68d482e983852a7a82979cc4807b641f4 Fee 0.1 LINK

    Switched Link and VRF are probably the culprit.
