Transaction – missing witness field in p2wpkh decoded tx hex

adminMay 24, 2024

If you have your raw TX hexadecimals put together, but you still get the error below and can’t broadcast:

sendrawtransaction RPC error: "code":-25,"message":"bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent"

I then decode the tx hexadecimal using https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/decodetx/, which seems to be missing the Witness field when using the default segwit address.

Then I thought maybe I shouldn’t have added it. scriptPubKey as addInput But this code doesn’t seem to work for me.

const fetch = require("node-fetch")
const bitcoin = require("bitcoinjs-lib")
const url = "https://blockchain.info/rawaddr/"
let MAINNET = bitcoin.networks.bitcoin
pubAdd = "bc1qj3rjxzhlqm6fqesd5fwphjnf457zkww3s5qrv5"

let txb = new bitcoin.TransactionBuilder(MAINNET)
var txid = null
var outn = 0
var transactionhex = ""

async function getPubAddInfo() 
  const response = await fetch(url + pubAdd)
  const data = await response.json()

  txid = data("txs")(0)("hash")
  outn = data("txs")(0)("out")(0)("n")


async function getTXHash() 
  await getPubAddInfo()

  let WIF = "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  let keypairSpend = bitcoin.ECPair.fromWIF(WIF, MAINNET)

  var scriptPubkey = bitcoin.script.witnessPubKeyHash.output.encode(bitcoin.crypto.hash160(keypairSpend.getPublicKeyBuffer()))

  txb.addInput(txid, outn, null, scriptPubkey)

  txb.addOutput("bc1qjp3cch0hdvdr0hy99cs76kl9kekmuxv3k9nr6l", 60000)

  txb.sign(0, keypairSpend, null, null, 60200)

  let tx = txb.build()
  transactionhex = tx.toHex()
  console.log(transactionhex)


getTXHash()

Now I’m getting an error. TypeError: Cannot read property 'output' of undefined In the line I make var scriptPubKey.

Any suggestions on how to add the Witness field to the tx? Is it because I added scriptPubKey improperly? I am using bitcoinjs 5.2.0
