The Problem: Recovering Key Pair in Anchor Test Devnet
When using Anchor to deploy a contract to devnet, the recover function is used to recover the deployed contract’s key pair. However, the recovered key pair has been compromised, preventing you from redeploying your contract. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Check Recovery Key: Make sure you have access to the recovery key and that it is not expired or corrupted.
- Check Devnet Environment: Make sure your devnet environment is up to date with the latest Solana SDK, Anchor CLI, and other dependencies.
- Retry: Try to deploy the contract again using the recovered key pair.
Solution: Recover the key pair
If you have tried the troubleshooting but are still having issues, here are some additional steps:
- Check for corrupted data: Verify that there is no corrupted data stored on devnet by checking the
solanatable.
- Use a different recovery method
: Try using the
anchor testcommand with different recovery options to see if that fixes the issue.
- Check for network issues: Make sure that your network connection is stable and that there are no issues with the devnet node.
Additional suggestions
- Make sure that you have the latest Solana SDK, Anchor CLI, and other dependencies installed on your system.
- Consider using a different recovery method to see if that fixes the issue.
