Flaky "Invalid Missing Ancestor Syncing ReOrg" tests fail when payload contains no transactions

Open fgimenez opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

The "Invalid Missing Ancestor Syncing ReOrg" tests that use transaction-based invalid fields (InvalidTransactionSignature, InvalidTransactionNonce, InvalidTransactionGas, InvalidTransactionGasPrice, InvalidTransactionValue) are failing eventually with the error:

FAIL: Unable to customize payload: no transactions available for modification

AIUI this is not related to the client, the payload builder sometimes produces a payload with no transactions and the test seems to fail during setup here before even testing the client, is this correct?

This happened in this build for instance https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/actions/runs/18315677425 relevant logs attached
