Describe the Problem

I am using Remix IDE with the Remix VM (Shanghai) environment.

In a Javascript unit test, I would like to send Ether from the main account to another account, but the sendTransaction() function times out.

Code Snippet

/* eslint-disable no-undef */
// Right click on the script name and hit "Run" to execute
const { expect } = require("chai");
const { ethers } = require("hardhat");

describe("Ether transaction", function () {
  it("test transaction", async function () {
    console.log(ethers.version);
    let [owner] = await ethers.getSigners();
    let balance = (await owner.getBalance()).toBigInt();
    console.log(`Current balance is: ${balance}`);
    let value = ethers.utils.parseEther("1.0");
    expect(balance).to.be.at.least(value);
    let recipient = "<another address>";
    console.log(`Sending some ETH to recipient ${recipient}`);
    await owner.sendTransaction({
        "to": recipient,
        "value": value
    });
    let newBalance = (await owner.getBalance()).toBigInt();
    console.log(`New balance is: ${newBalance}`);
    expect(newBalance - balance).to.be(value);
  });
});

How are you using Remix with ethers? Does it provide an EIP-1193 provider?

Have you tried ethers v6, which has much more flexibility for connecting to exotic environments?

Regardless, in v5 you can decrease the polling interval to increase the speed which the internals operated, scanning for new blocks, which on a test environment should occur quite quickly using provider.pollingInterval = 200 (which will poll every 200ms).

@ricmoo, thank you for the fast reply!

I have written the script in tests/transaction.test.js and I am just running it. I don't know if it is an EIP-1193 provider.

I don't know how to use another version. 5.7.1 is just the default version I get in Remix IDE. Sorry, I am quite new to Ethereum so I am a bit overwhelmed 😅

I added the line owner.provider.pollingInterval = 200; after let [owner] = await ethers.getSigners(); but it did not help.

I have opened an issue on Remix to see if I can help out too. :)
