Using private key generated from Electrum Wallet

[pamuassa22]

Hello. What I'm trying to do is to create a wallet in electrum, then import its master private key to use within bitcoinlib library. I've exported the xprv key through cmd 'wallet.keystore.xprv' in electrum, then I have imported it in bitcoinlib like that:

hdkey = bitcoinlib.keys.HDKey(import_key="xprv.........................................")

Then, I have made a wallet using this HDKey, like that:

w = bitcoinlib.wallets.wallet_create_or_open(name="wallet_name", keys=hdkey)

But if I get the address of 'w', and I sent something like 0.30$ to it, it won't show up anything in Electrum! What am I doing wrong? Sorry for my ignorance.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using the same keys path in Bitcoinlib and Electrum and do you import the masterkey in bitcoinlib?

Some examples can be found in the unittests: https://github.com/1200wd/bitcoinlib/blob/23e34fc57c512ebed9d06a67aeb506184775dc1f/tests/test_wallets.py#L725
