Issue

Setting the "gasPrice" field in truffle.js is being ignore

Steps to Reproduce

Ideally done on testRPC:

• Start testRPC
• Drain the default wallet of most of your Ether
• Change the "gasPrice" to something like "10" or "10000" or anything
• truffle migrate --dry-run
• You'll receive an error saying The upfront cost is: 471238800000000000 and the senders account only has: (some amount or 0)

Expected Behavior

Updating gasPrice should change the amount of Ether needed to run the transaction

Actual Results

Requires 471238800000000000 wei no matter what

Environment

• Operating System: Mac
• Truffle version: 4.0.0 and 4.0.1
• Ethereum client: testRPC
• node version: 6.0.0
• npm version: 4.0.03

Update: this seems to only be happening with --dry-run

Hi,

The pull request ConsenSys-archive/truffle-core#81 resolves this issue. The value for gasPrice and gasLimit were not copied over when the network was forked in the environment (when using --dry-run).

Hi, has this been merged already?

I'm still getting this issue (in my case with gasPrice 0 and using PoA on Azure).

Works fine without --dry-run

Truffle v4.1.8 (core: 4.1.9)
Solidity v0.4.24 (solc-js)

Cheers!

Turns out the problem was the unclear truffle documentation.

gasPrice should be given as a string , not an integer
The same goes for any other variable given in the config
They should be passed as strings, yet the documentation shows integers being passed as value.

Thanks @kyriediculous !

That was indeed my problem
