Title: Solana: Sample Test Does Not Work with Latest Anchor Version
Introduction
Solana, a popular decentralized application (dApp) platform, is known for its fast and scalable blockchain technology. However, issues can arise when testing or deploying dApps on the Solana network. In this article, we will explore an example where the “sample test” does not work with the latest version of Anchor.
The Problem
We have encountered an issue in our basic-1 sample repository, which relies on Anchor documentation and samples to illustrate how to deploy and test the application. The issue occurs when attempting to run the sample test, which requires certain dependencies that are no longer compatible with the new version of Anchor.
Solution: Downgrade Anchor Version
To address this issue, we have decided to downgrade the Anchor version from 0.30.1 to 0.29.2. This way, we were able to re-enable the dependencies needed for our sample test to work properly.
Here are the steps we followed:
- Update Anchor: We updated our
package.json
file in our basic-1 repository to point to version 0.30.1.
- Rebuild and Test: After the update, we rebuilt our application using
npm run build
oryarn build
. This ensured that all dependencies were re-bound to the new version of Anchor.
Benefits of Downgrading
By downgrading our version of Anchor, we gained access to the latest features and bug fixes without compromising the compatibility of our sample test. Additionally, this approach avoided potential conflicts between our application code and the Anchor documentation, which may have been caused by incompatibilities or outdated information.
Conclusion
In conclusion, when running a Solana-based application as basic-1, it is crucial to keep track of the latest version numbers for dependencies. Downgrading the Anchor version can be a viable solution when issues arise with certain dependencies. By updating our repository and rebuilding our application, we were able to resolve the issue and ensure our sample test runs properly.
Example Use Case
Here is an updated package.json
file in the basic-1 repository:
{
"name": "basic-1",
"version": "0.30.2",
"dependencies": {
"@solana/web3.js": "^5.9.17",
"
}
}
With this updated version, our example test should now work fine on the latest version of Anchor.
