Error with token transfer : value must be positive

#1

hello everyone.

I have a strange error that was not happening a couple weeks ago… no idea why i have it now.

I made a contract that react to token transfer.
It was working fine 2 weeks ago last time i worked on it.

But today, when I try to send tokens, i only get that error message :
assertion failure with message: must transfer positive quantity

the quantity i pass is “500.0000 SEEDS” so i think it should be fine.

There are looots of tokens in the wallet so no issue there.

I even went all the way to recreate a token (SADS instead of SEEDS) and change my contract.

Note :
When sending SADS to the contract configured to receive seeds, i do get my contract error that it is the wrong token)
When changing my contract to receive SADS, I get the same error again. Even though the token is freshly created and issued :

Does anyone has an idea why ?

error SADS
error SADS994×623 75.4 KB

As you can see, i have plenty of SADS and the amount look positive enough to me :slight_smile:

note that I have no problem sending tokens from the seedtestnet5 account to the seedtestnet4.

So i guess it is somehow linked to my smartcontract.
But since it was working perfectly fine 2 weeks ago and i didnt touched it at all i was wondering if some new updates might affect how catching transfer actions work ?

Here is how i catch it in my contract hpp :

[[eosio::on_notify("*::transfer")]] 
          void logdeposit(name from,name destination, eosio::asset quantity, std::string memo);

But since the error message is the one from the eosio.token contract, i am confused (I have the same error check but with a different message so i know it comes from the eosio.token contract)

#3

and here is the link to the last transaction I did couple weeks back when i was working on that project.

Again, i havnt touched anything since then so i do really understand why it doesnt work anymore

#4

ha. I have some devellopment :

If i transfer 100000.000 seeds it works

if i transfer 1000.000 i get the error :

overdrawn_balance

the other way around (sending from the account seedtestnet5 toward seedtestnet4)

I can send 100.000 sads without any error
