estimategas throws uncatchable exception

[sirpy]

happens on ganache 6.7.0
downgrading to 6.6.0 solves the issue
found that the issue happens if in web3js constructor i pass defaults with
defaultGas: 140000,
removing it also solves the issue on 6.7.0

@sirpy Thanks for reporting this! Is it possible to post reproducible steps? Or a minimal viable contract that seems to cause this? I don't seem to have any issues with my generic contract with web3js.

[sirpy]

are you using the "defaultGas" in constructor not overriding it when defining contract?
Its a complex set of contracts so i dont think i can produce a minimal viable contract.
i'll try to setup a one click repo with the contracts to reproduce it

@sirpy we've changed some things with estimation, can you confirm that this is still an issue on ganache-core@latest?

@nicholasjpaterno
Hey, i dont recall what was the exact issue,
I tried upgrading to latest ganache-cli but local unit test for estimate gas fails with:
Error: Node error: {"message":"VM Exception while processing transaction: out of gas","code":-32000,"data":{"stack":"c: VM Exception while processing transaction: out of gas

on ganache 6.6.0 it works fine
