Error: Deployment Failed while using Matic Test Network - blockchain

Question

I am getting started with Application development on Matic. And I am following the instruction as provided on the docs https://docs.matic.network/docs/develop/getting-started
But I faced problem while using truffle. After I run the command
truffle migrate --network matic
The error as follow:
Compiling your contracts...
===========================
> Everything is up to date, there is nothing to compile.
Starting migrations...
======================
> Network name: 'matic'
> Network id: 80001

Deploying 'Migrations'
----------------------
Error: *** Deployment Failed ***
"Migrations" -- insufficient funds for gas * price + value.
at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/truffle/build/webpack:/packages/deployer/src/deployment.js:365:1
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
Truffle v5.1.55 (core: 5.1.55)
Node v10.19.0
The configuration file of truffle as follow:
const HDWalletProvider = require('truffle-hdwallet-provider');
const fs = require('fs');
const mnemonic = fs.readFileSync(".secret").toString().trim();
module.exports = {
networks: {
development: {
host: "127.0.0.1", // Localhost (default: none)
port: 8545, // Standard Ethereum port (default: none)
network_id: "*", // Any network (default: none)
},
matic: {
provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, `https://rpc-mumbai.matic.today`),
network_id: 80001,
confirmations: 2,
timeoutBlocks: 200,
skipDryRun: true
},
},
// Set default mocha options here, use special reporters etc.
mocha: {
// timeout: 100000
},
// Configure your compilers
compilers: {
solc: {
}
}
}
It worked fine for the develop network using
truffle develop
Can someone tell me how to overcome error while using Matic Test Network?

Answer 1

Make sure you have enough MATIC for the transaction, you can get some from here and transfer them to the account[0]. I had issues deploying with truffle as all my tokens were at account[1] rather than account[0]

Answer 2

in my case it was ETH, ensuring i had tokens in the first account did the trick
