Tealscript: Encountered "Unavailable Asset" error when trying to opt-in a smart contract to an asset

[tender oyster]

Hi, I am trying to opt-in a smart contract to an ASA asset but got the Unavailable Asset error when running the opt-in code.

This is the Tealscript code that I have to opt-in to the asset

   assert(this.txn.sender === this.sender.value);
   assert(!this.app.address.isOptedInToAsset(this.assetId.value));

   verifyPayTxn(mbrTxn, {
     receiver: this.app.address,
     amount: globals.minBalance + globals.assetOptInMinBalance,
   });

   sendAssetTransfer({
     xferAsset: this.assetId.value,
     assetAmount: 0,
     fee: 0,
     assetReceiver: globals.currentApplicationAddress,
   });
 }```

Hey 👋

[hot jay]

The error means you need to pass the reference to the asset (id) in the assets foreign array. Are you using the generated client to call the method?

[tender oyster]

Yes, I am using the generated client to call the method.

[hot jay]

something like this then...

client.optInToAsset({ payTxn }, { assets: [assetId] })

[tender oyster]

I tried adding the assets to the method but still got the same error though

There is also an option to automatically populate the resources. If you share some code I'm sure someone can help.

[echo viper]

Are you using the typescript appclient? If so, you can set populateAppCallResources: true in transactionsParams. This will automatically provide the reference to the asset for you

Hey @tender oyster, just checking in—let us know if you're still experiencing the issue or if we can go ahead and close it

[tender oyster]

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, I am using the typescript client. I tried setting that but the issue still occured

[tender oyster]

Yes, still experiencing the issue

[echo viper]

can you share the code snippet where you are setting populateAppCallResources: true?

[tender oyster]

await docClient.optInToAsset(
    { mbrTxn: transaction },
    { populateAppCallResources: true, assets: [] }
  );

Yes, I put it in the transaction params but currently my code editor is throwing error for this. It did not happen before this. Is this the correct location for this?

[normal reef]

Don’t have assets listed thee at all. That might ne telling populate to NOT do that part.

[echo viper]

yeah like Patrick said, try

    { mbrTxn: transaction },
    { populateAppCallResources: true }
  );

[tender oyster]

ok, I will try that. Thanks!

@tender oyster let us know if you are still facing issue or if its resolved

Hello everyone Please I am working on a smart contract and this error was developed on testing any idea the possible cause and available solution: Network request error. Received status 400 (): TransactionPool.Remember: transaction X5FZRJDVQ6KSHHRYEHF5IKEGEWV4ICDTBQI5DC3UKGAZR5SKGOKA: transaction rejected by ApprovalProgram. Aborting payment

[normal reef]

it just means your contract is simply failing - and not via an assert (err) - exiting not returning a positive value.

[placid ember]

okay thanks, so the error is coming from my smart contract logic not my frontend code if I am correct?
