Hi. I'm trying to get data from a public view with ethers.js using the pattern contractobject.callStatic.method(params) but It throwa an error: callStatic undefined.
Any way to fix this?

why callStatic if the function is a view function?

why you don't use just contract.method(param) ?

It asks for gas fees

then it is not a view function

as @FreezyDev told here, it's not a view or getter function.

please share screenshot

I can send the abi of the function

no

share the screenshot

of ethers;js

of what

of your script

here I'm trying without callStatic

please share with callStatic

the first call is a view right?

both are views

then you don't need callStatic

without It asks for fees tho

show contract code please

stakingBalance Is actually a public variable

please

share it

you dont need callStatic. just contract.stakingBalance (useraddress)

function calculateYieldTotal(address user) public view returns(uint256) {
uint256 time = calculateYieldTime(user) * 10**18;
uint256 timeRate = time / rate;
uint256 rawYield = (stakingBalance[user] * timeRate) / 10**18;
return rawYield;
}

ok and this ask for gas?

are you sure?

yes

strange

the other call?

both do

stakingBalance is a mapping

yes

try one sec to comment that line

leave only calculateYield call

also send here the contract link I try from my side

this is a view function. it can't ask for gas 😐

exactly

it asks for really low amount of gas but still does

please share link

ok wait

always try multiplication before division!

wdym

if you divide for a bigger number you get 0

1 / 2 = 0

btw he already does it

do you get gas fees too?

wait

ok so
how many calculations does it do?

function calculateYieldTime(address user) public view returns(uint256){
uint256 end = block.timestamp;
uint256 totalTime = end - startTime[user];
return totalTime;
}

function calculateYieldTotal(address user) public view returns(uint256) {
uint256 time = calculateYieldTime(user) * 10**18;
uint256 timeRate = time / rate;
uint256 rawYield = (stakingBalance[user] * timeRate) / 10**18;
return rawYield;
}

please share whole contract on pastebin and send link
will try to deploy on my end

if you want of course

or in the meanwhile share an address to check

contract Is deployed there, I'll send pastebin with Abi if you need

btw if I use those functions in remix they don't require gas fee

https://pastebin.com/84Yg6YSY

I can use on of the address that call Stake?

to check

ok

Connect with provider instead of signer

Hmm but I think it should've work anyway

tried

and it asked for a signer

and tried with a signer
and give estimated gas error

Oh really? wierd stuff...

Maybe try verifying the contract. Probably would've changed code

I think so but if from remix work

ok it works

I tested with cast

cast call 0x8229C6aa4D5E907a1bbeF0D168031Ec9767E8E65 "calculateYieldTotal(address)(uint256)" 0x970e54dfaf8efe0a5f1398b5be6a9dbda1bfad9a --rpc-url https://rpc.ankr.com/polygon_mumbai

and it returns 55570788

and so why is it asking for gas from ether.js

i really don't know

I mean It Is also really low gas like .00006 Matic but It Is still asking also I saw on stackoverflow that someone was having the same issue but they solved with callStatic

every week

btw I just realized I can't execute it without signer and don't know why

nvm just realized I'm dumb and I was using an old version of ether.js

well I was using the latest but same issuw

it is working for me now dk what just happened then

now I was trying to get approve on weth(mumbai testnet) but somehow 8000000000000000000 is an invalid number value

does solidity support numbers with scientific e notation?

no

That's what i thought so I used parseint After using toFixed(20) can the toFixed function be the problem?

10e9 yes

is an example

so I don't Need toFixed

if you input from ethers you can use string too

it is still saying invalid number both for strings, int and fixed int

show

value = dai.value * 10 ** 18
const tx = await DAIcontract.approve(NVAContractAddress, value)
dai is an input field

error: (arg="wad", reason="invalid number value", value=8000000000000000000, version=4.0.45)

this is not string

(dai.value * 10**18).toString()

it works. Tysm
