maxFeePerGas requirement in 4.x #6215
Description
Discussed in #6188
Originally posted by t-vila June 12, 2023
Hey all,
As far as I remember maxFeePerGas was optional in 1.x and calculated from the baseFee - in 4.x I get MissingGasError if I don't specify it. It looks like it's expected
For instance this:
const tx = {
from: signer.address,
to: "...",
value: web3.utils.toWei('0.0001', 'ether'),
gas: limit,
nonce: await web3.eth.getTransactionCount(signer.address),
maxPriorityFeePerGas: web3.utils.toWei('3', 'gwei'),
//maxFeePerGas: web3.utils.toWei('3', 'gwei'),
chainId: 11155111,
type: 0x2
};
Will throw:
MissingGasError: Invalid value given "gas: 0x5208, gasPrice: undefined, maxPriorityFeePerGas: 0xb2d05e00, maxFeePerGas: undefined". Error: "gas" is missing.

Thank you for submitting this! 4.x is slightly different on validating transactions and the error message isn't clear, when we validate a transaction this is the conditional
Since you are using
maxPriorityFeePerGasand specified a type 2 transaction its expected that you definemaxFeePerGasas well.If you wanted to submit a legacy transaction you would need to specify
gas && gasPriceI'll create a PR to make the error message more clear. thank you
For more clarity as well, what code/methods were u running
