Steps To Reproduce

I posted this here a month ago. Now, I tried again. it's the same error in 0.2.x.

I follow this guide to writeContract, and this guide to convert ethers wallet to viem.

Code to reproduce:

import { Wallet } from 'ethers'; // v5
import { createWalletClient, createPublicClient, http } from 'viem';
import { ethersWalletToAccount } from 'viem/ethers';
import { crossbell } from 'viem/chains';

const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  chain: crossbell,
  transport: http('https://rpc.crossbell.io'),
});
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: crossbell,
  transport: http('https://rpc.crossbell.io'),
});
const wallet = new Wallet(
  privateKey, // you may need to claim the gas from https://faucet.crossbell.io
);
const account = ethersWalletToAccount(wallet);

const { request } = await publicClient.simulateContract({
  account,
  address: '0xa6f969045641Cf486a747A2688F3a5A6d43cd0D8',
  abi: [
    {
      inputs: [
        {
          components: [
            {
              internalType: 'address',
              name: 'to',
              type: 'address',
            },
            {
              internalType: 'string',
              name: 'handle',
              type: 'string',
            },
            {
              internalType: 'string',
              name: 'uri',
              type: 'string',
            },
            {
              internalType: 'address',
              name: 'linkModule',
              type: 'address',
            },
            {
              internalType: 'bytes',
              name: 'linkModuleInitData',
              type: 'bytes',
            },
          ],
          internalType: 'struct DataTypes.CreateCharacterData',
          name: 'vars',
          type: 'tuple',
        },
      ],
      name: 'createCharacter',
      outputs: [
        {
          internalType: 'uint256',
          name: 'characterId',
          type: 'uint256',
        },
      ],
      stateMutability: 'nonpayable',
      type: 'function',
    },
  ],
  functionName: 'createCharacter',
  args: [
    {
      to: wallet.address,
      handle: genRandomHandle(),
      uri: 'fake-url',
      linkModule: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
      linkModuleInitData: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
    },
  ],
});
const hash = await walletClient.writeContract(request);

export { hash };

// util
function genRandomHandle() {
  const chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';
  let handle = '';
  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    handle += chars.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length));
  }
  return 'a-random-handle-' + handle;
}

Anything else?

If you need anything else (like gas to test or additional private info), you may contact me on discord Songkeys#0001 or telegram.

Ah. We need to omit the account property in the Ethers adapter. Can fix when I’m back at the computer!

You could probably just use privateKeyToAccount now (added in 0.2). We will probably remove the ethers adapter in a future version as our private key implementation has parity.

Just tried privateKeyToAccount, it works good! You were right. I think we don't need the ethers adpter if we have this.
