Inter-cansister update calls in rust?

Developers Rust
1

Hello fam,

I am trying to make a call from a rust canister to a non-query method of a motoko canister.
I am getting the following error:

The Replica returned an error: code 5, message: “IC0503: Canister rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai trapped explicitly: Panicked at ‘called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: (DestinationInvalid, “Canister ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai has no query method ‘getUserDatasetAccess’”)’, src/data_assets/src/main.rs:332:17”

The error seems to suggest that only calls to query methods can be made using ic_cdk::call() (?)
What am I missing here?

I cannot make this method a query one because inside of it I am calling actor class stuff… and inter canister query calls don’t work in motoko, am I getting this right?

It’s probably the error that is misleading. I can confirm that ic_cdk::call() works with update calls.

Example in Juno I do following which is an update:

let args = DeleteControllersArgs {
        controllers: controllers.to_owned(),
    };

    let result: CallResult<(Vec<ControllerId>,)> =
        call(*satellite_id, "add_controllers", (args,)).await;

    match result {
        Err((_, message)) => Err(["Failed to add controllers to satellite.", &message].join(" - ")),
        Ok((result,)) => Ok(result),
    }

It looks like some typo in target function name. If you can share candid or wasm file of target canister I could check what is the problem

Thanks both!
So it appears it was (most likely) an issue with type decoding. Not sure why it got translated into the error message above.
Anyway, I managed to fix the issue by simply using CallResult… which I wasn’t doing before.

Thanks
