node.js - Error: The method eth_sendTransaction does not exist/is not available

Question

Showing an error while calling solidity contract, which is deployed already in ropsten-infura. I'm using web3(@0.19.1) for calling contract.

Anybody faced the same issue?

Answer 1

I'm guessing that you're connected directly to Infura, which doesn't support eth_sendTransaction. (For it to support that, it would need to know your private key, but it's a shared public node.)

You need to either sign the transaction yourself and then send via eth_sendRawTransaction or use a provider that can hold private keys like MetaMask in the browser.
