Sending eth from contract to wallet address

Question

I have this contract deployed that is meant to send ether from itself to an another account

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract Contract {

    address public owner;
    address public admin;

    constructor(address _admin) public {
        owner = msg.sender;
        admin = _admin;
    }

    modifier onlyOwner(address sender) {
        require(
            sender == admin,
            "Only the admin of the contract can perform this operation."
        );_;
    }

    function sendTo (
        address toAddress
    ) public payable onlyOwner(msg.sender) {
        payable(toAddress).transfer(msg.value);
    }
}

and I try to interact with it like so on the client side:

var contract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, Address, null);

const transaction = {
            from: mainAcct,
            to: dummyAcct,
            value: '10000000000000000',
            gas: 30000
};

await contract.methods.sendTo(dummyAcct).send(
            transaction , function(err, hash){
            if(!err){
                console.log("Transaction hash:", hash);
            }else{
                console.log(err);
            }
});
} catch (e) {
                console.log(e);
}

why do I get this error in the console:

Error: Transaction has been reverted by the EVM

Answer 1

The problem could be with transfer, transfer limit the gas and that could be the reason of the error, try using call instead of transfer, check this web to see how to use it https://solidity-by-example.org/sending-ether/
