UNPREDICTABLE_GAS_LIMIT when calling estimateGas function

samuel_sadek · September 18, 2022, 7:33am

When I issue npx ts-node .ts and attempt to call out estimateGas function on sushiswap router as shown in below code snippet it triggers UNPREDICTABLE_GAS_LIMIT error (see below output error log #1).

const gasLimit = await sushiEthDai.estimateGas.swap(
			!shouldStartEth ? DAI_TRADE : 0,
			shouldStartEth ? ETH_TRADE : 0,
			flashLoanerAddress,
			ethers.utils.toUtf8Bytes('1')
		  );

Output Error Log #1

I also tried overriding the gas limit when passing it as a parameter into the same function shown below but it returns this time a slightly different error Error: cannot override “gas” (see below output error log #2).

const gasLimit = await sushiEthDai.estimateGas.swap(
			!shouldStartEth ? DAI_TRADE : 0,
			shouldStartEth ? ETH_TRADE : 0,
			flashLoanerAddress,
			ethers.utils.toUtf8Bytes('1'), {
				gas: 6721975
			}
		  );

Output Error Log #2

code: ‘UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION’,
operation: ‘overrides’,
overrides: [ ‘gas’ ]
}

Not sure if tsnode accepts command line options for setting gas limits or directly within tsconfig.json. This last case, I have consulted the tsconfig docs but it says nothing or no mention about gas limits. So I´m stuck here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Samuel
