Fixing Incorrect Key File Path from sb AnchorUtils.loadEnv()
The problem you are experiencing is caused by a common error in the AnchorUtils.loadEnv() function. In your case, the problem is the incorrect path to the .key file.
Problem: Incorrect Key File Path
When you use sb.AnchorUtils.loadEnv(), this function loads environment variables and parameters from the specified directory. However, you specify a relative path as the path to the main file:
const { keypair, connection, application } = await sb.AnchorUtils.loadEnv('./target/deploy/');
The `environment
object will be searched in the following directory structure:
''bash
./target/deploy/
|- .env
|- ... (other files)
.
Note the dot (
) at the end of
.env, which is incorrect. It should be relative to the current working directory or the specified base directory.
Solution: Update the key file path
To fix this issue, you need to update the key file path to point directly to the
key'' file:
javascript
const { keypair, connection, application } = await sb.AnchorUtils.loadEnv('./target/deploy/.env');
./target/deploy/
Make sure the .env file is in a relative path that is specified correctly. In this case, you are already using
, so the path should be correct.
Additional Tips
- Be careful using absolute paths in production environments to avoid security issues.
- Consider using environment variables directly instead of loading them from files:
typescript
const { keypair, connection } = await sb.AnchorUtils.loadEnv();
This approach eliminates the need for file paths and makes your code more secure.
Use Case ExampleHere is a detailed example showing how to solve the problem:
typescript
import { AnchorUtils } from 'inchor';
import sb from '@subql/sb';
import { anchorUtil } from './anchor-utils';
const accountAddress = 'youraccountaddress';
const secret = 'yourpassword';
const networkName = 'mainnet';
// Set the node URL, cluster name, and network type
const nodeUrl = '
const clusterName = 'cluster name';
const networkType = 'mainnet';
try {
// Load environment variables
const { keypair, connection } = await anchorUtil.loadEnv();
// Use the loaded environment variables
const program = new sb.Program(networkName, nodeUrl, clusterName);
// Perform an action on the account and secret...
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}

If you follow these steps and tips, you should be able to resolve the issue with sb.AnchorUtils.loadEnv() and use the key file path correctly.
