I am using testrpc & truffle to build a test local blockchain. I am getting below exception while I run 'truffle test'.

I even tried to manually set the gas_limit variable in tester.py to 4712388 but still getting the same error.

Could you please help me to resolve this.

Thanks,

  • For updating the gaslimit in tester.py this might help: http://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/2272/how-can-i-change-the-gas-price-or-the-gas-limit-when-testing-with-pyethereum – eth Nov 21 '16 at 03:48
  • Thanks for your help . I added the below line apply_transaction(block, tx) method in Processor.py, which worked for me.

    block.gas_limit = 4712388

  • Glad it helped. I tried to make the answer clear and feel free to edit it or post your own (and then mark one of them as accepted). Thanks – eth Nov 21 '16 at 21:53

The solution was to add

block.gas_limit = 4712388

below the apply_transaction(block, tx) method line in processblock.py.

Like this:

def apply_transaction(block, tx):
    block.gas_limit = 4712388
    validate_transaction(block, tx)
