Metamask hangs indefinitely when I try to send txes #3881
Comments
I'm seeing this same behavior, transactions sit in the "Approved" status and I don't see them created in the ganache logs. Rolled back to 4.4.0 to resolve for now |
Experienced the same behavior in Chromium Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) Reverting to 4.5.2 fixed the issue, so the breaking change seems to be in the 4.5.3 release |
We believe we've found the cause of this problem, and are fixing it. If you experience this issue, try restarting your browser, that may also fix the problem for you. (And let us know) |
Restart browser didn't fix problem. Uninstall extension / reinstall extension also no affect. MM on Chrome does not work while on Brave MM works. OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) MetaMask: 4.5.3 Brave: 0.22.13 |
I'm am also currently experiencing this problem using Ganache as well, thanks for the fix in advance! |
I restarted my browser and it is working again! |
+1 Also experiencing this error. Restarting browser alone doesn't seem to work. I have to reset my MM test accounts which means restarting Ganache, redeploying my contract, etc... Basically restart testing all over. |
+1 here. I have this issue as well with MetaMask 4.5.5. You have to redo everything before it can work again. |
A temporary solution is to use version 4.4.0: |
Yes, this fixes it for me... I'll stick to 4.4.0 for now. Thank you! |
switched to 4.4.0 and still having the same issue. same goes for restarting the browser. Any tips on how I might be able to debug the issue locally? |
+1, same problem. Switched to Chrome and ran with 4.4.0 and it worked once, but now I have the same problem again. |

For us it hangs when we try to sign some data (not tx) in both ganache and ropsten networks. |
Now it also hangs for transactions |
I'm experiencing this issue as well. Brave seems to work. |
Sorry for the delay, we had some staff rotations and apparently our triage process failed this bug. Could someone having this problem look at their logs (maybe copy their UI state logs from the console) and send them to us at [email protected], referencing this issue? |
@danfinlay sent; ticket number: 12866 |
I have some logs from @apbendi, and I've confirmed these transactions sit in the "approved" (not signed or broadcast) state, which is very strange. You can tell it was never signed because there is no "nonce" number in the transaction list cell. Since this doesn't show us why this is happening, I'm now relying on someone with this issue to open their background logs, try sending a transaction, and hopefully recording some red error messages: |
Repros for me too. Repro steps:
Uninstalling/reinstalling MM worked for me. |
Found another repro situation with the nonce in sync using a local blockchain:
@danfinlay any progress here? It would be great to use MetaMask as a reliable dev tool, but seems like local blockchain issues are quite prevalent. I'm somewhat stuck to MetaMask too now in my dev process because I'm using eth_signTypedData which isn't yet supported by Ganache. |
Hi all, very sorry this bug has hung around as long as it has. MetaMask is a developer tool before it is anything else, and it's critical that we keep your ability to build Dapps working smoothly. It looks like we've found the root problem in #4086, and @frankiebee is currently working on a fix. We're going to have a fix out asap. |
Just want to share. If you are facing issues on Chrome, you can use Firefox for now. Just got into the same issue on Chrome. When I switched to Firefox, all works fine. MetaMask: 4.5.5 Thank you @danfinlay and team for the hardwork! |
I am using the beta version of MetaMask on Chrome but the older version on both Brave and Firefox. In my case, the user has to sign two transactions to register an account. In the older UI, I'm able to navigate back and forth and sign the transactions in order. The beta UI layers the transaction calls on each other so my second transaction is displayed before the first which will obviously cause an error. I tested both old and new UI in Chrome and Brave and the old UI works fine. This may not be a major issue. Testing in incognito mode signs transactions automatically btw. |
I'm still facing this issue. |
This issue has been fixed in #4128, and the fix will be published later today. |
Hangs in same manner on
After I click "sign" in the metamask popup, the text "invalid message length" briefly shows on the screen before the spinner takes the screen. ... or am I merely wrong to assume that I can sign arbitrary data with metamask?
|
@nolash looks like you might have your params mixed up. check the API reference and this example implementation. |
I also have a private blockchain and I am trying to send transactions. I was able to use it one day and then another day it stopped working and never worked again. I installed 4.8.0 and it will update transactions, but it will not send transactions. Also when you click send or anything involved in creating a transaction the metamask screen will freeze. If you click away and the window closes then click back on metamask it will be at the next screen. Approving the transaction will not however actually send a transaction. The transaction will show in the transactions list but it will will never complete or send. I have tried resetting the accounts, re-installing metamask, making sure my chainId matches my networkid and restarting my browser. Any help appreciated! |
@bdresser to me it seems that it's metamask that got it the wrong way. If I put the data from your example as the second param, I get the following error:
However if I do this:
...it works. So the metamask implementation seems not to accept arbitrary data to sign; it needs to be |
I created a new issue for this since it is still happening: #4760 |
use brave browser and add metamask, it works well. |
same happened here on chrome
|
This happens to me a lot, especially when Chrome opened for a long time (likes some days). If you don't want to restart chrome and close your precious tabs:
now everything ready to go. |
I'll randomly experience the indefinitely spinning wheel. It starts working again after a few minutes of hanging but it does this for every transaction. |
After a couple months of hassle-free MetaMasking, the infinite spinning wheel is back with a revenge, just like miguelmota describes. Even uninstalling the extension completely doesn't seem to fix it. This is on 6.4.0 with Firefox. |
Mine remains completely stuck loading on the main popup; even after 30min of waiting on chrome/windows.
|
Same happens here. Any experience with updating ganache-cli helps? |
I tried @BigMurry 's instruction - didnt work Only after restarting my computer I was able to send my tokens out. Solved! |
Still seeing this issue in Metamask 7.6.1 in chrome. Restarting the browser has no effect |
Metamask 7.6.1 Connects and displays correctly the balances, but as soon as I hit the send button the whole UI freezes, I have to wait like 1 minute before being able to do anything again. I am able to send transactions and deploy contracts normally through web3 / ethers / truffle. Update: restarting the whole computer fixed it. Suspecting that various installs and uninstalls (since we do not have a way of correctly deleting networks yet) might be at fault.

I'm interacting with a contract running on a local dev blockchain (Ganache). After clicking 'Submit' to confirm a transaction in the Metamask popup, I'm presented with the following spinning icon forever:
If I click out, and click on the Metamask plugin icon, it seems that the transaction has been sent:
but the transaction is not showing up on my ganache instance! I've successfully sent the same transaction not via Metamask (i.e. via a ganache console), so the issue seems to be with Metamask. How do I begin to debug this problem?
