I have a contract with a method add() where I read the value msg.value and change the contract informations.

before upgrading, I was calling this method in my test with return contract.add({from: accounts[1], value: 1});.

after upgrading, all the calls create an exception : Uncaught Error: VM Exception while processing transaction: invalid JUMP. To make it work again, I have to remove , value: 1 and just keep return contract.add({from: accounts[1]});. and I still get the message even if i remove the whole code inside the add method : function add() {}

Is there a new way to send ethers with the transactions ? I read all the documentation and tutorial but it seems everyone is doing like me.

note that it seems that things come from testrpc. Here are the logs i get : 

Transaction: 0x7d739e8416775a70a47616347471024feb8fb7da2dc938d3c7a25acf5031d0b8

  • The error you're reporting is an error in the EVM. We'd have to see the specific code of your contract (or just the add() function) to answer this. – Matthew Schmidt Oct 16 '16 at 16:11
  • Even if i remove the whole code and just leave function ajoutAssureur() { } i get the same error :(. But the constructor works fine and the contract is created. – Stéphane Traumat Oct 16 '16 at 16:13

You need to put the payable modifier in your function.

In the latest version of solidity, if a function does not have that modifier, it will throw (i.e. perform an invalid jump) if it receives ether.
