The .env file is not being created, and if it is necessary to deploy the project, what should I do?
@mellow violet @merry grail

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:15 PM

#

Can you share your deploy code?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:25 PM

#

#

You mean smart contract?

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

Is this a fresh AlgoKit project?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

Yes

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

I would suggest making sure AlgoKit is on the latest version first

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

2.5.2

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

Trying to init my own to see if I can reproduce the issue

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

Sorry please explain

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

There should be information in the README about generating an env file, something like “algokit project generate env-file” - have you ran that command?

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

That shouldn't even be necessary

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

Yes I can run this command

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

I don't have a .env file and I can just hit F5 and it works

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

I think it depends if you run algokit project deploy or algokit project deploy localnet? I remember having a similar issue

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

I will run it and show you. I have run it before, but I will do it again on a new project. Please wait.

#

Algokit project deploy

tall stone Feb 20, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

Oh I know what the issue is

#

When you don't have a .env, it prompts you for the deployer mnemonic in the terminal

#

but you must have just hit enter and not given it a valid mnemonic

#

So I think the best course is to generate a .env file like Gabe said

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:37 PM

#

yeah, if you run algokit project deploy localnet it automatically setsup the deploy account for you without any env variables. If you run algokit project deploy you need to either create/generate the .env or provide the mnemonic in terminal

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:40 PM

#

What is the difference between these two, and which method is more suitable? Please guide me.

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:42 PM

#

The first one is easier if you just want to get started with local development. The second one lets you use a .env where you can specify the parameters of deployment, like the account of the deployer and whether it gets deployed to testnet/mainnet

#

So try the first one and see if it works

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:43 PM

#

Looks like it worked

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:44 PM

#

Yes, this is working, but I want to deploy it on the testnet and learn more. Can you guide me on how to create the .env file, etc., and where to do all this?

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

Check out the README and run the command to generate the env file, that creates it for you so you can see the variables it’s setting

#

You can also run algokit explore which opens an explorer for the local version of the network and will show your contract deployed there

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

Just need to run algokit generate env-file, nothing else? Just generate this file, no other settings?

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:51 PM

#

Right

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

Algokit project deploy not run

#

Algokit project deploy localnet only run 🥺

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:54 PM

#

Did the generate command work?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

Yes

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:57 PM

#

What env files did it generate?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 9:58 PM

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_077c3753-459d-42d5-b8a7-5c1eb1d87c0b.jpg

#

Env.localnet only

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 9:59 PM

#

Isn’t there a command in the README for generating env files for mainnet/testnet?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:00 PM

#

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

when you ran the generate command

#

it should have prompted you to select which network you want to generate for

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

Local net

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

okay

#

so it works

#

generate one for testnet and deploy it

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

Algokit project deploy localnet net work

#

Developer mnemonic how to put

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:10 PM

#

easiest way is to run algokit goal wallet new my_wallet

#

then hit y when it asks you to show the mnemonic

#

did you get the mnemonics by running the commands I showed you?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:16 PM

#

Yes I can run

#

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:17 PM

#

okay, that phrase that starts with "blame solar..." etc is your mnemonic

#

careful sharing that, if it has real money on it, people can steal your funds

#

for development it's fine

#

place that phrase in your .env.testnet file that you generated, like this

DEPLOYER_MNEMONIC=blame solar (...rest of the mnemonic)

#

then run algokit project deploy testnet

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:19 PM

#

Yes, only a developer account for learning.

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_4cdec6a7-7055-4bb3-8869-f13e6f86ce65.jpg

Press f5 deploy easly

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:34 PM

#

You didn’t paste in the entire mnemonic

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:36 PM

#

I pressed F5, and it deployed easily. But my question is: **Where was it deployed—TestNet, MainNet, or LocalNet?

And if it has been deployed, how can I find out which account is connected to my Perawallet? I know which account I entered in the configuration, but I need to confirm the connected account.

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_68415347-8766-41d3-8aa2-2f2d94d96709.jpg

#

Yes I past this but not work

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

F5 deploys to localnet

#

Or uses what’s in .env

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:40 PM

#

Ok local net work always but test net not work 😢

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:41 PM

#

Did you fund the deployer account?

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:41 PM

#

Only 2 file env

#

Yes

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 10:43 PM

#

What is in your .env.testnet file? Just copy paste, don’t share screenshot please 🙂

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 10:43 PM

#

Run “algokit project deploy testnet”

#

To run “algokit project deploy” you need to create a .env and put the contents from .env.testnet in there

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

Yes I can run algokit project test net

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

Awesome

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

Algokit project deploy testnet but not work dear

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

Hmmm

#

Try just running the command, and pasting in the deployer mnemonic when it asks you

#

“DEPLOYER_MNEMONIC:” in the console

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 11:08 PM

#

Try all thing but not work

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 11:09 PM

#

Try adding the quotes again? I took them away, but I’m on Mac, maybe a Windows issue

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 11:15 PM

#

Not work dear

merry grail Feb 20, 2025, 11:25 PM

#

okay let's just try a new mnemonic lol

#

ALGOD_SERVER=https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud/
INDEXER_SERVER=https://testnet-idx.algonode.cloud/
DEPLOYER_MNEMONIC=joke morning animal scrap dice roof reduce response material blind core bronze nest wet cheese banana become bar join blame pause divert physical ability decade

#

that's one I generated. Please put it in .env.testnet and try again. Not sure why it's not working for you

steel bison Feb 20, 2025, 11:38 PM

#

Thank you @merry grail 😊🙏

It worked? =0 strange maybe something was getting lost in between the copy paste - it was definitely an issue with the mnemonic
