Rinkeby network. Error: cannot read property 'calls' of undefined in server-side tracer function 'fault'

[enertom]

System information

Geth version: "Geth/v1.10.9-stable-eae3b194/linux-amd64/go1.17.1
OS & Version: Linux

Params: --rinkeby --syncmode full --gcmode=archive --snapshot=true

Actual behaviour

When i try to call the method debug_traceTransaction on Rinkeby network:

сurl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "debug_traceTransaction","params": ["0xdf8f0fc660ccc30c7d41f2fffa4b582c629d59597fb981019f0415a82ea9d7cd",{ "tracer": "callTracer","timeout": "100s" }],"jsonrpc": "2.0","id": 1}' http://ip:port

i get the error -

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"error":{"code":-32000,"message":"TypeError: cannot read property 'calls' of undefined    in server-side tracer function 'fault'"}}

Expected behaviour

Correct traced response from node

I have same issue on Mainnet with partially executed transactions like this https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc3e19ca9c77ebe65b6ba927932ee6dcce69ae4eb324d8ecfac020f977a8eb5d3
Error only in v1.10.9.
In v1.10.8 - no error.

A quick workaround is to use callTracerLegacy instead of callTracer which will use the pre v.10.9. behavior

@MariusVanDerWijden if i use callTracerLegacy tracer instead of callTracer the node crashes

[MariusVanDerWijden]

That's weird. With what error message does it crash?
cc @s1na

[enertom]

node shutdown without any error

[s1na]

We found the original issue and will submit a fix today. But I haven't been able to reproduce the node crash using callTracerLegacy yet. Can you point me to a mainnet tx where that happens? (don't have a rinkeby node synced)

[enertom]

i have issue only on rinkeby (trx: https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/tx/0xdf8f0fc660ccc30c7d41f2fffa4b582c629d59597fb981019f0415a82ea9d7cd)

@s1na I built node from https://github.com/s1na/go-ethereum/tree/fix/call-tracer-fault : TypeError: cannot read property 'calls' is disappeared, but the error with shutdown doesn't disappear on rinkeby (tried with callTracerLegacy and callTracer).

but the error with shutdown doesn't disappear on rinkeby (tried with callTracerLegacy and callTracer).

How much reexec are you using?

[holiman]

I've had the same crash (without stacktrace) when I tried it via docker, but it worked perfectly (both legacy and normal) on native geth.

I don't use reexec, i have full archive node --syncmode full --gcmode=archive

@holiman I tried without docker - it's working. Thanks for the temporary solution
