eth_transact not returning an address for a new contract

[jorisbontje]

Running ethereum with ethereum -mine=true -rpc=true -loglevel=5 -bootnodes="" -nat=none -dial=false

Build 65cad14 on OSX.

Simple Serpent contract to test with:

data owner
data counter

def init():
    self.owner = msg.sender
    self.counter = 1

def incr():
    self.counter += 1

def get_counter():
    return(self.counter)

This compiles to:

336000556001600155604f8060146000396063567c01000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006000350463119fbbd48114156036576001600154016001555b63ea66cf6d811415604d5760015460405260206040f35b505b6000f3

Creating the contract via an RPC call:

I would expect the contract address to be returned instead of an empty string.

Are you using the RPC directly? Creating the contract via ethereum.js works fine for me here:

Yeah using the RPC directly. I now get a result back after I wiped out my database...

[jorisbontje]

Closing as I can't reproduce it anymore. @maran thanks for verifying!
