  1. getting error

    Error: Returned values aren’t valid, did it run Out of Gas? You might also see this error if you are not using the correct ABI
    for the contract you are retrieving data from, requesting data from a block number that does not exist, or querying a node which is not fully synced.

    1. Please check if you are using the correct ABI from the smart contract and secondly check if you have enough Gas in your Metamask Wallet.

  2. You are supposed to use correct ABI. Please check that. Secondly, check do you have enough Gas in your Metamask wallet.

  3. Hi Zafar, I’m trying to run the server.js, I don’t have express or web3 or mongoDB, do I need more? I’m trying to install those like npm install express and I get this error:

    npm ERR! code EINVALIDPACKAGENAME
    npm ERR! Invalid package name “.pnpm”: name cannot start with a period

  4. Excellent article.

    The nodemon server.js command does not run and the error below appears. I did exactly as in the tutorial and copied exactly the same codes.

    Also, running “yarn start” it opens “http://localhost:3000/” with no information, blank page.

    Detail: the contract was implemented and its address correctly changed in the code.
