Invalid private key format error

[georgescharlesbrain]

I'm adding my own private keys with add_private_keys in the suibase.yaml It stopped working after I updated today (didn't update for 4 months though). "Error: Invalid private key format [0x3" Did you change the support or format of the private keys? Or what do you think is the error?

You can now do "~/suibase/update" to get the fix.

The problem was a recent change in the JSON output from the Sui keytool command.

The fix to Suibase was:

I should have detected that earlier... so I will add today an automated test for the add_private_key.

Thanks for reporting this.

Take note that "sui client addresses" now show only address with an alias (this is not something I control, I think the Sui binary should instead display all addresses).

So "add_private_keys" works. The key is added to sui.keystore and can be used, but it needs also an entry in sui.aliases to show up with "sui client addresses".

I think it is a minor problem, but I will try to fix it by tomorrow (I will create dummy "suibase-yaml-x" aliases).

As a workaround you can see the address with "sui keytool list". That one shows addresses even without alias (Mysten Lab is not consistent on this).

It seems "lsui client addresses" does give me an output with auto generated aliases.
Where should I be able to edit sui.aliases?

[mario4tier]

Yes, the auto-generated ones have aliases, so they are shown.

I have to modify the code to do the same with the ones added with "add_private_keys".

In meantime, may be you can edit the alias with "lsui keytool update-alias"?

sui.aliases is co-located with its sui.keystore.

So for localnet:   ~/suibase/workdirs/localnet/config/sui.aliases

Your advice is much appreciated thanks.

With latest Suibase, the add_private_keys entries will now have an "alias-\<number>" generated.
