Error running swanky suite contract query

Question

I get this error running swanky contract tx flipper flip -a alice -g 1000000000. I have increased the gas, I have no clue what else to try. Also is there a place to check for { Err: { Module: { index: '7', error: '0x02000000' } } } like this? Thanks

Ideally the client itself would resolve the correct error from the metadata. However, given the raw error code you can look it up manually:

Find the code for the runtime of the node you are running, and in lib.rs you can see all the pallets defined in construct_runtime!. Count the pallets starting from 0, in this case 7 is the Contracts pallet:

https://github.com/AstarNetwork/swanky-node/blob/main/runtime/src/lib.rs#L478

Now we need to find the error in pallet-contracts. It is 0x02, which will be the error at position 2. In this case OutOfGas:

https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/1d9a139dd96bf5d1583c725bae6fcac5a0805372/frame/contracts/src/lib.rs#L826

So you can add a few more zeros to that gas amount. I don't know whether swanky supports this but other tools e.g. cargo-contract will first perform a dry-run which will automatically estimate the amount of gas required, so you are unlikely to get this error.
