[Ethereum] Getting ‘invalid opcode’ error

contract-debuggingcontract-developmentinvalid-opcodesolidity

First of all, sorry for the code in Portuguese, this was a choice of the team and I had no saying on that.

I'm writing a Billet Manager, the code is as follows:

contract GerenciadorBoletos {

     struct Boleto {
         uint codigoBarra;
         uint codigoBarraDigitavel;
         uint cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario;
         uint cpfOuCnpjPagador;
         uint valorOriginal;
         uint dataVencimento;
     }

     mapping(uint => Boleto) registroBoletos;

     function inserirBoleto(
         uint codigoBarra,
         uint codigoBarraDigitavel,
         uint cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario,
         uint cpfOuCnpjPagador,
         uint valorOriginal,
         uint dataVencimento
     ) {
         Boleto memory b = Boleto(
             codigoBarra,
             codigoBarraDigitavel,
             cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario,
             cpfOuCnpjPagador,
             valorOriginal,
             dataVencimento
         );

         // I need to do some validations before store it, but there is no code yet

         registroBoletos[b.codigoBarra] = b;
     }
}

I'm testing it with TestRPC and Mocha:

 describe('1. Inserção', function(){
     it('Deve ter inserido um boleto com os dados válidos com sucesso', function(done){
         var boletoParaInserir = gerarBoletoValido();
         console.log(boletoParaInserir);

         gerenciadorBoleto.inserirBoleto.sendTransaction(
             9872387128, 987128382, 91289312, 81273818, 50, Date.now() + 3*24*3600,
             {
                 from: web3.eth.accounts[0],
                 gas: 3000000,
             },
             function(e, result) {
                 expect(e).to.not.exist;

                 expect(result).to.exist;
                 result.should.be.above(0);
             }
         );
     });
 });

I'm getting the following error:

Uncaught AssertionError: expected [Error: Error: VM Exception while 
    executing transaction: invalid opcode

Edit

This seems to be an issue with TestRPC.

I've opened an issue on github.

Summary

There is no error when the code is inserted into geth and run.

Can you try inserting your code into geth and see if you still the geth "invalid opcode" error.

From the OPs response in the comment, the "invalid opcode" issue is caused by the timing of the test case.

Modified Your Code

I've modified your code slightly, changing the // comment into /* ... */ and added a public to your mapping structure:

contract GerenciadorBoletos {

    struct Boleto {
        uint codigoBarra;
        uint codigoBarraDigitavel;
        uint cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario;
        uint cpfOuCnpjPagador;
        uint valorOriginal;
        uint dataVencimento;
    }

    mapping(uint => Boleto) public registroBoletos;

    function inserirBoleto(
        uint codigoBarra,
        uint codigoBarraDigitavel,
        uint cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario,
        uint cpfOuCnpjPagador,
        uint valorOriginal,
        uint dataVencimento
    ) {
        Boleto memory b = Boleto(
            codigoBarra,
            codigoBarraDigitavel,
            cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario,
            cpfOuCnpjPagador,
            valorOriginal,
            dataVencimento
        );

        /* I need to do some validations before store it, but there is no code yet */

        registroBoletos[b.codigoBarra] = b;
    }
}

Running `geth`

I'm running the Dev blockchain using the following parameters:

geth --datadir /home/user/DevData --dev --nodiscover \
  --mine --minerthreads 1 --port 30301 --maxpeers 0  \
  --verbosity 3 --rpc console

Flattened Your Code And Assigned To A Variable

You can use a service like Line Break Removal Tool to strip out your line breaks, or see How to load Solidity source file into geth for some alternatives.

I flattened your code, assigned it to a variable and pasted it into geth:

> var gerenciadorBoletosSource='contract GerenciadorBoletos { struct Boleto { uint codigoBarra; uint codigoBarraDigitavel; uint cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario; uint cpfOuCnpjPagador; uint valorOriginal; uint dataVencimento; } mapping(uint => Boleto) public registroBoletos; function inserirBoleto( uint codigoBarra, uint codigoBarraDigitavel, uint cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario, uint cpfOuCnpjPagador, uint valorOriginal, uint dataVencimento ) { Boleto memory b = Boleto( codigoBarra, codigoBarraDigitavel, cpfOuCnpjBeneficiario, cpfOuCnpjPagador, valorOriginal, dataVencimento ); /* I need to do some validations before store it, but there is no code yet */ registroBoletos[b.codigoBarra] = b; }}'

Compiled Your Code

I compiled your code using the following command:

> var gerenciadorBoletosCompiled = web3.eth.compile.solidity(gerenciadorBoletosSource);

Inserted Your Code Into The Blockchain

I used the following commands to insert your code into the blockchain:

var gerenciadorBoletosContract = web3.eth.contract(gerenciadorBoletosCompiled.GerenciadorBoletos.info.abiDefinition);
var gerenciadorBoletos = gerenciadorBoletosContract.new({from:web3.eth.accounts[0], data: gerenciadorBoletosCompiled.GerenciadorBoletos.code, gas: 1000000}, 
  function(e, contract) {
    if (!e) {
      if(!contract.address) {
        console.log("Contract transaction send: TransactionHash: " + 
          contract.transactionHash + " waiting to be mined...");
      } else {
        console.log("Contract mined! Address: " + contract.address);
        console.log(contract);
      }
    }
  }
)

And waited for the following message:

Contract mined! Address: 0x9e550b10e770b050d6ec9af80c5fdb6540089803

Sent Transaction To Add Data

I copied the main part of your sendTransaction to insert your sample data into the blockchain:

> gerenciadorBoletos.inserirBoleto.sendTransaction(
    9872387128, 987128382, 91289312, 81273818, 50, Date.now() + 3*24*3600,
    {
      from: web3.eth.accounts[0],
      gas: 3000000,
    },
    function(e, result) {
      expect(e).to.not.exist;
      expect(result).to.exist;
      result.should.be.above(0);
    }
  );

And waited for the transaction to be mined.

Inspecting Data After Data Inserted

> gerenciadorBoletos.registroBoletos(9872387128)
[9872387128, 987128382, 91289312, 81273818, 50, 1462459836202]

No Invalid Opcode

I double checked my geth messages and I did not get the "invalid opcode" message.
