Version of EOSJS
eosjs@master

Describe the bug
failed to serialize the context_free_actions,looks like eosio.null has no abi on mainnet, but the eosjs try to fetch abi.

To Reproduce

await api.transact({
            actions: actions,
            context_free_actions: [{ account: "eosio.null",name: "nonce",authorization: [],data: "010f"}],
        }, { blocksBehind: 3, expireSeconds: 3600 });

err | 2020-11-24 13:34: Error: fetching abi for eosio.null: Read past end of buffer

This is a constraint on how mainnet was configured. Please try on your personal network and verify if eosjs works as expected with the correct ABI. Thanks.

Having the same issue in testnet.
Btw, nonce doesn't exist in the master branch in tests

Has the recommended approach to make transactions unique changed?

  • probably, adding nonce as a property to data within one of the transaction's actions should be fine

No, it's a bug in eosjs. See #1009
