Frequent nonce error

[Younghoon-Lee]

Hi
thanks for this beautiful engine in advance. I can see your great efforts.
To improve aurora network , I would like to raise one issue I am facing it at the moment.

I am testing on aurora testnet currently, and it seems there is something wrong with nonce tracking.
I faced a lot of ERR_INCORRECT_NONCE error messages, so I tracked it manually by web3.eth.getTransactionCount between each transactions.
And it turned out that nonce was not following up correctly( time delay I guess) between each transaction. So I looked up aurora-relayer github repo and It seems aurora-engine, this repo, is more related to this issue I am facing.
I apologize if I made wrong assumption due to lack of my engineering skill.

Thanks for the report @Younghoon-Lee

Could you provide more details about what nonce changes you observed? For example a sequence of transactions with the corresponding observed and expected nonce values.

Thanks for quick response @birchmd
Here is a piece of simple code I tested with to track nonce.

for (let i=0; i<1000; i++) {
    console.log('before:    ')
    console.log( await eth.getTransactionCount( myWallet.address))
    console.time("time duration");
    await Contract.methods
      .function(params)
      .send({ from: myWallet.address, gas: GAS_PRICE });

    console.timeEnd("time duration");
    console.log('after:     ')
    console.log( await eth.getTransactionCount( myWallet.address))
}

And this is the result of the code >>>

before:    
161
approvePlugin: 5.730s
after:     
162
before:    
162
approvePlugin: 5.439s
after:     
163
before:    
163
approvePlugin: 5.027s
after:     
163
before:    
163
approvePlugin: 4.429s
after:     
164
before:    
164

      id: 38,
      method: 'eth_sendRawTransaction',
      params: [Array]
    }
  }
}

However, if I control my nonce manually, it never gets nonce error.
Like below

let myNonce = await eth.getTransactionCount( myWallet.address)
    await Contract.methods
      .function(params)
      .send({ from: myWallet.address, gas: GAS_PRICE, nonce : myNonce++ });

That gets us closer to solving the ERR NONCE error. Looks to be an infrastructure problem. I'll notify the correct person that can help resolve this.

@joshuajbouw
Appreciate.
Please keep me updated in this thread. It would be very helpful!

[Umar-Abbas]

you can try this as well
let myNonce =await web3.eth.getTransactionCount(_toAddress)

  let NetxNonce= web3.utils.toHex(myNonce++)
