Error: The JSON parameter could not be used because there was no schema for it,

I’ve added schema-embed but still can’t pass parameter on init func, following is my code

// pub type VotingOption = String;
/// The voting options are stored in a vector. The vector index is used to refer
/// to a specific voting option.
/// Number of holder.
pub type TotalHolders = u32;
/// single holder amount
pub type TotalHolderAmount = u64;

/// Takes a description, the voting options, and the `end_time` to start the
/// election.

pub struct InitParameter {

}

    pub holders: BTreeMap<AccountAddress, Amount>,

    /// initialized until the `end_time`.

The code looks correct. Can you explain what exactly you cannot do, and how you are trying to pass the parameters?

Is it using one of the SDKs? Or concordium-client?

@abizjak now the error changed
it says now

unable to serialize parameters: JSON string required

NOTE: no need param here but I also added param in smart contract and still unable to call.
I’m using piggybank dapp frontend to call, following is frontend

function contractUpdatePayload(amount: CcdAmount, contract: Info, method: string) {
    return {
        amount,
        address: {
            index: contract.index,
            subindex: BigInt(0),
        },
        receiveName: `${contract.name}.${method}`,
        maxContractExecutionEnergy: MAX_CONTRACT_EXECUTION_ENERGY,
    };
}

export async function submitDeposit(connection: WalletConnection, amount: CcdAmount, account: string, contract: Info) {
    // const buff = toBuffer(RAW_SCHEMA, 'base64');
    // const seerial = serializeTypeValue(params, buff);
    // console.log(JSON.stringify(RAW_SCHEMA));
    // const sch = JSON.stringify(RAW_SCHEMA);
    // const param = JSON.stringify(account);
    const param = { User: '3v6SAaexxQ4zwi5AwAncD4yTLtMSXuB9PC7v4dEwu5arMuRRsW' };
    return connection.signAndSendTransaction(
        account,
        AccountTransactionType.Update,
        contractUpdatePayload(amount, contract, 'vest'),
        {},
        `//8DAQAAAAQAAAB2ZXN0AAIAAAAIAAAAcmV0cmlldmUECxUEAAAADQAAAFBhcnNpbmdGYWlsZWQCDwAAAFZlc3RpbmdGaW5pc2hlZAILAAAASW52YWxpZFVzZXICDQAAAENvbnRyYWN0Vm90ZXICBAAAAHZlc3QECxUEAAAADQAAAFBhcnNpbmdGYWlsZWQCDwAAAFZlc3RpbmdGaW5pc2hlZAILAAAASW52YWxpZFVzZXICDQAAAENvbnRyYWN0Vm90ZXICAA==`
    );

Hi @arslan,

Are you sure that the schema you provide, i.e. //8DAQAAAAQAAAB2ZXN0AAIAAAAIAAAAcmV0cmlldmUECxUEAAAADQAAAFBhcnNpbmdGYWlsZWQCDwAAAFZlc3RpbmdGaW5pc2hlZAILAAAASW52YWxpZFVzZXICDQAAAENvbnRyYWN0Vm90ZXICBAAAAHZlc3QECxUEAAAADQAAAFBhcnNpbmdGYWlsZWQCDwAAAFZlc3RpbmdGaW5pc2hlZAILAAAASW52YWxpZFVzZXICDQAAAENvbnRyYWN0Vm90ZXICAA== is the correct one?
If you provide a schema where a String is expected as input parameter, then you would get the error you mentioned JSON string required.

Try to generate a new schema with cargo concordium build --schema-base64-out - and include that one instead.

Best regards
Kasper
