@Programmer001-JS can you provide a minimal reproducible example?

I have a same issue, we were trying to use metamask connect to hardhat node, and we could do the first transaction between the test wallets. However, when we try to do the second transaction , it would say
"eth_estimateGas

If you think this is a bug in Hardhat, please report it here: https://hardhat.org/reportbug"

and we need to restart the hardhat node and reset account on metamask.

[m1s5]

same issue:
• Bare node. No extra config
• Trying to connect with metamask
• send first transaction. (hh console sends only one gas estimate error)
• second transaction is not possible: buttons disabled. Console spits out errors on each keypress.

Problem the same as @m1s5, see screen

[julpar]

Bump!

[lightrao]

same problem

[victorshevtsov]

Does anybody have a solution for that?
This issue has been reported already #1731 but not solved yet.

[victorshevtsov]

It looks like the issue is in MetaMask browser extension.

It works just fine with MetaMask for Android.
All the transactions to hardhat node goes well when performed from mobile wallet but not from a browser extension.

I tried Chrome and FireFox extensions.

[victorshevtsov]

Finally I got it!
It took almost whole day to figure out what is the cause.

The default chainId of Hardhat node is 31337 and this causes the issue.
I changed it to 1337 and everything works now.

/// hardhat.config.js:

/** @type import('hardhat/config').HardhatUserConfig */
module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.8.17",
  networks: {
    hardhat: {
      chainId: 1337, // default is 31337
    }
  }
};

I'm sure the root of the problem is out there.
I hope somebody will figure it out and get it fixed eventually.

Now l have this msg:

eth_sendRawTransaction

Trying to send a raw transaction with an invalid chainId. The expected chainId is 31337

Same error here using hardhat tests.
Using node I get this information

eth_accounts
eth_chainId
eth_estimateGas --> This in red

Any workaround for this? iam facing the same issue

Any workaround for this? iam facing the same issue

@matilareo checkout this #3089 (comment)

[benzsuankularb]

I've tried other chain id than 31337 and hit the same issue.

[fvictorio]

Closing in favor of #3474

For anyone landing here: a workaround is to set the initial base fee to 0:

module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.8.17",
  networks: {
    hardhat: {
      initialBaseFeePerGas: 0
    },
  },
};
