With injected provider (MetaMask) web3.eth.sendTransaction fails

[tothandras]

Description

I encounter this error when I try to call to a contract for the browser:

Wrong response id alc-web3:0 (expected: 8) in {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":8,"method":"eth_sendTransaction","params":[{"value":"0xde0b6b3a7640000","from":"0x308163aea0cae49b4d4014374ae77f8cb6a6142e","to":"0xf1f364b55200b999768ea4329891833576ea4916","gas":"0x15f90","data":"0x8a83fbeb000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000029b","gasPrice":"0x3b9aca00"}]}

The transaction is accepted in the MetaMask popup.

Snippet

    const injectedProvider = window.ethereum ?? window.web3?.currentProvider

    const w3 = createAlchemyWeb3(
      'wss://eth-mainnet.ws.alchemyapi.io/ws/<...>',
      injectedProvider ? { writeProvider: injectedProvider } : undefined,
    )
    w3.eth.handleRevert = true

    try {
     await web3.eth.sendTransaction({
        value: web3.utils.toWei('1', 'ether'),
        from: account,
        to: contractAddress,
        gas: 90000,
        data: contract.methods.send().encodeABI(),
      })
    } catch (err) {
      // error can't be caught here
      console.error(err)
    }
