Solana: Error:AccountNotFound with anchor deploy
Error: Account Not Found with Solana Anchor Deploy
As a Solana developer, you may encounter an error when trying to deploy your application using the Anchor SDK. One common error is “AccountNotFound”, which occurs when the anchor node cannot find an account associated with the specified application contract address.
In this article, we will walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve the AccountNotFound error using Anchor deployment in Solana.
What is the Account Not Found error?
The AccountNotFound error indicates that the anchor node cannot find an account associated with the specified application contract address. This can occur for several reasons:
- The contract address does not exist on the anchor node.
- The contract address is not properly configured or deployed on the Solana blockchain.
- The id.json file, which contains information about the application and its deployment, is incomplete or corrupt.
Troubleshooting Steps
To resolve the AccountNotFound error with Anchor installation in Solana, follow these steps:
1. Check the contract address
First, make sure that the contract address specified in your code matches the address stored in the id.json file. You can check the contractAddress value in your code:
const id = anchor.import("path/id.json");
const contractAddress = id.address();
2. Check the anchor node configuration
Make sure that the anchor node is configured correctly to find the account associated with the specified program contract address. You can check the id.json file for errors or inconsistencies:
{
"id": {
"contractAddress": "0x...",
"programId": "path/program.id"
}
}
3. Check the status of the Solana blockchain
Use the Solana CLI “solana inspect” command to verify that the contract address exists on the blockchain:
solana inspect --json
`
This will display information about the account, including its balance and transactions.
4. Check the application deployment
Double-check that your application has been deployed correctly using the Anchor SDK:
const { deployment } = require("@anchorlib/solana");
// Set anchor node instance
const anchor = require("@anchorlib/solana");
const programId = "path/program.id";
try {
// Deploy the contract
await deploy(programId, {
accounts: [
{
key: programId,
keyindex: 0,
account: null,
arguments: []
}
]
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
5. Update the id.json file
If you suspect that the id.json file is incomplete or corrupted, try updating it with a new version:
{
"contractAddress": "0x...",
"programId": "path/program.id"
}
After resolving the AccountNotFound error, make sure that your program is deployed and configured correctly on the Solana blockchain.
Conclusion
In this article, we have gone through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve the AccountNotFound error using Anchor installation on Solana. By verifying the contract address, checking the anchor node configuration, checking the status of the Solana blockchain, and updating the id.json file as needed, you should be able to resolve this issue and deploy your program using the Anchor SDK.
