@brunsu some questions:

• Are you using the HDWallet?
• Are you trying to debug on local Ganache?

Thank you!

Hey @brunsu,

Sorry for the delay. We have released a new version of the VSCode extension with some improvements and debug fixes. Could you please test it again?

Cheers!

Also @brunsu just for reference the fix @xhulz is referencing is in the v2.6.0 release (changelog). Unless you've changed the default behavior, the extension should automatically update itself with VS Code, but it could be worth checking the version via the extensions tab:

Hi @brunsu thanks for reporting this. After further investigation, we realized that this issue is caused by a bug in Web3js when forking BSC network. We are using Web3js to interact with the underlying network. Take a look at web3/web3.js#3789 and web3/web3.js#3948 for discussions surrounding this issue. TL;DR; gasLimit is greater than 53 bits in some BSC transactions, that's the reason for the error and it's not going to be fixed in the current version of Web3js web3/web3.js#3789 (comment).

Nevertheless, we did some quick experiments when forking a BSC network. After bypassing this error, we found there is another issue, we get a missing trie node error coming from their RPC. We are going to discuss internally about how we are going to support BSC in the future. We'll keep you posted.
