I'm trying to connect to the blockchain via web3 and metamask and the web3.eth.getAccounts()
method is returning undefined
, however window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' })
returns an array with the accounts.
This is my code:
const getWeb3 = () : Promise<Web3> =>
new Promise<Web3>((resolve, reject) => {
// Wait for loading completion to avoid race conditions with web3 injection timing.
window.addEventListener("load", async () => {
// Modern dapp browsers...
if (window.ethereum) {
const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
try {
// Request account access if needed
const test = await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' });
console.log(test)// ["0x3b6f82ad02bf6820fe7062ae08817f54467bfb2a"]
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
console.log(accounts) // undefined
resolve(web3);
} catch (error) {
reject("User denied account access. " + error);
console.log("User denied account access. " + error)
}
}
// Legacy dapp browsers...
else if (window.web3) {
// Use Mist/MetaMask's provider.
const web3 = window.web3;
console.log("Injected web3 detected.");
resolve(web3);
}
// Fallback to localhost; use dev console port by default...
else {
const provider = new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(
"http://127.0.0.1:8545"
);
const web3 = new Web3(provider);
console.log("No web3 instance injected, using Local web3.");
resolve(web3);
}
});
});
I need to use resolved web3 in another file, but right now everything that I try to access is returning undefined, for example, await web3.eth.net.getId();
.

I end up solving this error by changing the version of web3, I was in version 0.20.x, and I changed it to the latest version, which was 1.4.0.
