Troubleshooting

Most issues with Starknet plugin or Remix itself are caused by connectivity problems (also resulting from restricted networks, web-proxies blocking certain content, etc.) or browser plugin interference.

• A user should first attempt to disable any browser components & addons which may impact the connectivity or Javascript execution.
• Some networks may restrict connectivity to certain sites or domains. Using a VPN connection may resolve problems observed on restricted networks.

More specific potential error causes are also described in detail below.

For Developers

Installation

API

Our API is built with Rocket, a web framework for Rust. So, you'll need to get Rust and Cargo on your machine to get started. 🛠️

The easiest way to install Rust and Cargo is by using rustup. It's the recommended tool for managing Rust versions and associated tools for your project.

Then:

cd api;
git submodule update --init;
cargo build;

Plugin

The plugin it self is a React project, you'll need to install pnpm.

cd plugin;
pnpm install;

Running the development environment

You need to be running both the server and the plugin in order to have a working environment.

For your dev environment:

cd plugin;
export API_SERVICE_URL=http://localhost:8000
export STARKNET_DEVNET_URL=http://localhost:5050
pnpm run start;

For an optimized build (will not listen to changes):

export API_SERVICE_URL=http://localhost:8000
export STARKNET_DEVNET_URL=http://localhost:5050
pnpm run deploy;
pnpm run serve;

Depending on cairo compiler +nightly may be necessary to run locally

cd api;
export VITE_URL=http://localhost:3000
cargo run;

or alternatively, you can run the server in watch mode (with cargo watch):

export VITE_URL=http://localhost:3000
cargo install cargo-watch;
cargo watch -x run;

For devnet interactions, you'll need to use Starknet Devnet.

Connecting the plugin

In Remix, go to the Plugin Manager at the bottom of the left panel, and click on Connect to a Local Plugin.

Then, chose a name for the plugin, and in the URL field, enter http://localhost:3000, the Type of Connection should iframe and the Location in remix Side Panel and click on Ok, see the image below.

You should be all set to see the magic happen! Activate the plugin and it should now be visible and ready to be hacked with! 🚀
