Lesson 17 (Hardhat DAOs) --> Error: reverted with reason string "Governor: vote not currently active"

[isosatya]

I have moved the blocks twice in the propose.ts file but the status of the proposal keeps being 0. I do not know what exactly changes the status of the proposal. According to contract https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/governance/IGovernor.sol there is an Enum from which the state of the proposal is obtained:

enum ProposalState {
        Pending,
        Active,
        Canceled,
        Defeated,
        Succeeded,
        Queued,
        Expired,
        Executed
    }

In my case I did console.log and I got status = 0 --> therefore, Pending. For this reason it does not let me cast the vote and I obtain the following error:

The links to my scripts are here:

propose.ts--> https://github.com/isosatya/hardhat-dao-fcc/blob/main/scripts/propose.ts
vote.ts---> https://github.com/isosatya/hardhat-dao-fcc/blob/main/scripts/vote.ts

I have seen some previous unsolved issues with the same error for this lesson, but no answer was provided so far.

@isosatya Is your local node running on another terminal? And did you run first the proposed script?

In addition to that, the voting period is 5 blocks but after proposing you are moving your local node to more than 5 blocks which pass the voting period.

[isosatya]

@alymurtazamemon I changed the number and made it less than 5 but it does not make a difference. Yes, I re run the node and then run the propose script and then the vote script.

I pushed the changes again so you can see it.

[alymurtazamemon]

@isosatya Sure, I will check it once I will be back.

@isosatya Minor mistake leads to big disasters!

const args = [
    governaceToken.address,
    timeLock.address,
    VOTING_DELAY,
    VOTING_PERIOD,
    QUORUM_PERCENTAGE,
]

Order of the args matters.

Search for the reason for almost half an hour.

@alymurtazamemon thank you. This was the error and honestly I would have never found it I think :)
