Hex string has length 52, want 40 for common.Address

Questions

I’m doing some tests.

I’ve a pretty useless contract on rinkeby

https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x1f6ecb77cd630025eb53b76093883743ab18635b

I’ve a personal account on rinkeby (via metamask)

https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x8d8d315a5b1bb25e8c0b1566726454fcc11b3647

I’m doing a call using

curl https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/PROJECT_ID\
     -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"from": "0x8d8d315a5b1bb25e8c0b1566726454fcc11b3647","to": "0x1f6ecb77cd630025eb53b76093883743ab18635b","gas": "0x76c0","gasPrice": "0x9184e72a000"},"latest" ],"id":1}'

I get this error

“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“id”:1,“error”:{“code”:-32602,“message”:“invalid argument 0: hex string has length 52, want 40 for common.Address”}}

What’s the wrong hash, and why it’s wrong?

I double checked on etherscan, and both from and to addresses are correct.

Hi @realtebo, good question! Were you able to resolve it? Those address lengths are both the correct 40 character length, is there any chance there’s non-viewable ascii characters hidden in the strings? This can happen from copy&pasting.

Confirmed, was a copy/paste error.
