InfuraProvider throws an Error

See original GitHub issue

I’m attempting to use the InfuraProvider to connect to the ropsten network but I get an error when doing so.

Doing this

const provider = new InfuraProvider(
  "ropsten",
  "780797e7832148289ef283af4ade0a58"
);
provider.getBlockNumber().then(console.log);

results in the following error:

index.js:165 Uncaught (in promise) Error: missing response (serverError={}, url="https://ropsten.infura.io/v3/780797e7832148289ef283af4ade0a58", code=SERVER_ERROR, version=web/5.0.0-beta.141)
    at Logger.makeError (index.js:165)
    at Logger.throwError (index.js:174)
    at index.js:100
    at Generator.throw (<anonymous>)
    at rejected (index.js:6)

As a sanity check using I made sure I could access the Infura endpoint with my project id using curl which works

curl -X POST \   
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "eth_blockNumber", "params": []}' \
"https://ropsten.infura.io/v3/780797e7832148289ef283af4ade0a58"

Note: Infura project ID is a throw-away that will be deleted once this is resolved 😃

My lines of code const network = “mainnet”; const provider = new ethers.providers.InfuraProvider(network, { projectId: “c3db272c665f70df0d9”, projectSecret: “1b326380e58328ea6” });

const getBalanceAsync = async (address) => { let rawBalance = await provider.getBalance(address); return (rawBalance); }
