Cannot Import Private Keys #5139

Closed maxweng closed 5 years ago

maxweng commented 6 years ago

I failed to import the private keys from Ganache to the MetaMask extension, whether '0x' is prepended to the private key or not and no error message shows up. I've tried both Chrome and Firefox on Mac and got the same results. But it worked before I upgraded to the latest stable version.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on the MetaMask extension
  2. Click on the icon on the upper-right corner to open the extension window.
  3. Click on Import Account, under the 'Import' tab, paste the private key.
  4. Just saw the loading spins for a while and nothing happens after, and no error message.

Browser details (please complete the following information):

@maxweng importing ganache accounts is working fine for me on Chrome 4.9.3 following your repro steps.

Can you check your UI logs and background logs to see if there are any errors? Instructions here. Also, check to make sure the account wasn't added silently by clicking the accounts menu in the top-right.
