Std::token::mint_to causing weird Revert(18446744073709486081)

I am writing a token contract. it has a mint function. I test this function with rusk test. however, my test reverts with RevertTransactionError("Revert(18446744073709486081)"

    #[storage(read, write)]
    fn mint(recipient: Identity, amount: u64) {
        _validate_owner();
        storage.total_supply += amount;
        mint_to(amount, recipient);
        log(Mint{
            recipient: recipient.into(),
            amount: amount,
        })
    }

I manager to narrow down the error to the code mint_to(amount, recipient)
The contract method call went well if I remove the mint_to(amount, recipient) code in sway contract.

And the test pass if i replace it with the std::token::mint method.
this token mint_to causes this weird revert.

This generally indicates that there is no available Variable Output to send the assets to. The solution is to either call append_variable_outputs in the SDK when calling the contract method above, or simply use the estimation methods which will do this for you.

thank you! let me try this out

thank you! append_variable_outputs works
